Sucks about the paywall that there is gonna be though.
Glad that they're coming back, but I wish they'd gone with Netflix. Does this mean we'll need to get an Amazon Prime membership to watch it?

Yep.
Well that ruined my excitement for them coming back a fair bit.
[QUOTE=Reagy;48330041]Yep.[/QUOTE]
Well that sucks.
Great to seem them coming back, but I won't be paying for Prime for this.
How much is Amazon Prime? Don't actually think its avail in Australia either :/
The Twitter page said it was for 3 series.. neat.
Been sittin on Amazon Prime for almost 2 years now, its pretty decent and its tv thing has an ok selection, obviously not as good as netflix but at least I have some use for it now
[QUOTE=Reagy;48330041]Yep.[/QUOTE]
Urghhhh....
Amazon Prime exclusiveee ughhh
prime is literally amazing though
Damn was really hoping it would be Netflix
Richard's beard makes him look like an evil version of himself

Except for people outside the US. Wish they'd gone with a more international company than Amazon.
Amazon seems like such an obscure platform, they must have paid so much to outbid Netflix

Not as good as Netflix? It must have like, 3 shows since Netflix has a whole lot of nothing on it.
Ugh. Why prime only. I barely use amazon and I'm not really willing to shell out $99 just for this.

Article also updated to say that Amazon pledged "creative freedom" for the show... :v:
Pretty disappointed they went with Amazon. It's not available here.
Good thing I pay for getflix DNS servers.

If you're American, sure.
Isn't it pretty dumb to sign a deal with a service that isn't available in all countries?
I'm willing to bet they'll film in 4k too, because Amazon seems to be pushing it by promising they won't charge extra to stream it.

$100 annually but you get a shit load of bonus things with it like Free Two-Day shipping , Unlimited music streaming , Free unlimited photo storage and over 800,000 free ebooks

Netflix isn't available in all countries.

It's pretty good here in the UK. I'm gonna take a guess and say it's a lot worse in Australia because of where it's located in the world.
[QUOTE=DogGunn;48330074]How much is Amazon Prime? Don't actually think its avail in Australia either :/[/QUOTE]
About the same price as Netflix (8.25/month), but you have to pay for an entire year's subscription at a time so at a flat cost of $99 it feels quite a bit more expensive.
It's totally worth it, though! I don't use it much for TV and movies, bUT the free shipping is a huge bargain if you do any kind of online shopping. What would make it a perfect deal is if they included an Audible subscription in the price tag, because Audible rules and it is silly to have multiple subscriptions for different Amazon services.

This might actually swing the deal for me, Prime costs a little bit less than Netflix over a year, but looks like they're going to have TV I want to watch too now, still need both for Breaking Bad though. Prime's 1 day shipping is pretty great especially since they keep rising the free delivery threshold.
