Yes
Spent ages looking but all i can find is the what it costs to receive prime tv, the membership the dongle etc if you dont have an app on your TV.

I cant find any costings for the transmitted content like Grand Tour or films, any one have a link to a page that shows this info.

£79 per year or £7.99/month + a dongle or something g if your TV doesn’t have it built in. That’s it.

Kind of.....

1. You get way more than that for your money :) £79 includes the rest of Prime as well as the TV.
2. You don't get as much as you think. There are a bunch of things on Prime video that aren't included with Prime Video. E.g. Ready Player One costs £9.99 in HD (I don't know if you can buy that without Prime - I bet you can). Unforgotten S2 is £9.99 ("Free" on Netflix).

Possibly this will work.

My dad has prime. We had a look for a lot big name movies included plenty of classic ones and success rate was around 1 in 3. There are things to watch but you can't be very picky at all.

Same story with netflix.

I try to have as little in common with Amazon as possible so I'm staying well away from this.

Thanks, thats why i couldnt find it, i had the idea that after those costs you still had to pay per view for things like Grand Tour and films.

Grand tour is included with the prime subscription. There are many title that you do need to pay for but a lot you don’t need to.

Personally I’d get Netflix instead of prime (choice is much better IMHO), but if your just after watching Grand Tour then sign up to the monthly sub, watch them, then cancel.

Prime also gives you music streaming plus any music (cd) you buy you can download as well, photo storage, free kindle books.
 
Also worth noting, Amazon have a habit of removing things or swapping them from Prime to not on Prime - worth keeping an eye on

This is one of the reasons I cancelled. I'd add some to my watchlist but, when I got around to watching it, there was a cost. Netflix is far simpler, it's either available or not, no additional costs.

Plus next day delivery, Prime Twitch, full ad free games if you’re a kindle fire/Android user.

And this is the reason I cancelled. Far to often an item was marked as prime but delivery was 2-3 days. I even ordered some razor blades marked as prime, shown as sold by Amazon and in stock but delivery was a week.

That’s never happened to me which is why I am still a subscriber..

For me having someone bring a 20kg bag of layers pellets and 20kg bag of corn per month both of which are cheaper than anywhere else, is worth the cost of Prime alone.. then I have all the other benefits.

'xactly. Most people seem to find that one of the benefits of Prime is just about worth the money and all the rest are free.

I have Netflix for TV but I buy lots of stuff from Amazon and like Prime Reading so I also have Prime. Their TV offering is basically free for me and has got a lot better since it started.

You're luck I guess.
Here's an example. I loaded Amazon and click one of the first prime products I saw on the home page.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Garrett-Su...534320588&sr=1-4&keywords=sensor+razor+blades

It's marked as Prime, Fulfilled by Amazon and in stock (at the time of this post)
I can get it delivered by 22nd August. That's not free one day delivery which is the big selling point of prime membership.

Unfortunately this is happening more and more just lately even to the point where I emailed Jeff Bezos. He didn't reply himself but I did get a phone call from one of his senior staff members who promised to look into it and to get it resolved. This was 8 months ago.

I don't use any other prime services other than TV which we only used to watch Grand Tour.

I was looking at the page you linked, seems it only shows on the search page. I thought it showed on the product page as well.

It does usually, but not always, often when its not available for a few days. You get the "Delivered at no extra cost for prime members" Its annoying when that happens but you can usually tell if its available, for next day delivery without clicking into the product page, because below the search item it will say something like 'want it tomorrow then order in the next......" If it doesn't say that then its generally not available for next day.

Prime works for me, Photo storage, most of the prime items I want are next day, sometimes even when I order at 11pm! I don't mind Prime video, which I watch mostly for the movies, some hidden gems in there.
