Perhaps Amazon negotiating the price down, as little interest elsewhere.

He's MIA

Although to be fair there wasn't to many takers for these two packs or at least at what the Premier League reserve price was.

I have the full house bundle, can I cancel the Sky Sports part of it for June and July?

l prefer a nice steak and kidney pie as it has a better aged mature flavour.

Wouldn't surprise me if they use this to increase the cost of Prime as it's increased in the USA.

Another £10 to £20 on top of the £79 would not surprise me MM.

Not really surprising to be honest. I won't bother with amazon whatsoever. I'm intrigued by BT Sport though. Increased matches i assume will mean it'll probably fall off the XL package with VM this summer since the contract is up?

I wish champions league football was on sky sports since it has better pundits and it could mean i could avoid BT sport altogether. Suppose i'll be paying an extra twenty odd quid for it come august

Only problem with Prime is the need for using a different device to watch it with.

That would be a shame. I for one would then downgrade my package.

As a Prime Subscriber for several years i'm happy with this news :-)

The comedy thing is all the amazon matches are in december. I'll spend 7 or 8 quid for that month to watch all the games, binge watch prime videos in bed over christmas and then cancel.

If amazon had been showing matches every month it would have been annoying but they're blowing it all in one month which is probably the best outcome for people without prime
