Well, since it's highly unlikely the cashback will happen on this deal, due to currency conversions this is actually the cheapest way to pick it up. Not sure if Prime will launch in Australia with any considerable discount.
Use for Prime Video (ie The Grand Tour) etc
As of today, apparently yes you can :)

Now waiting for the XB1 app to be available to us…!
I use a Roku. FireTV used to have support (ported Samsung TV or similar app?), but sadly they fixed that. =(
Amazon.de have it for EUR 49.00. So…
| Country | Price | Price (AUD) | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| USA | $79USD | $105AUD | Amazon.com |
| UK | £59GBD | $98.28AUD | Amazon.co.uk |
| EU | €49EUR | $70.22AUD | Amazon.de |
I think you might be able to combine the EU option with the €10EUR offer as well, making it $55.89AUD
Not sure if there are any benefits or loses for using EU over the others though.
So I'll ask a question here…
If I get the EU Prime subscription, Do I get Prime benefits across all sites?
(EG. early access to the US sales? Free shipping of a US item to a US address? etc)
No, Prime is country specific
That kinda sucks.
The US has more/bigger sales, and free shipping could be useful for parcel forwarders to AU.
Is it worth paying double for that though?
Also, is the digital content the same across all regions? Will I have access to the same shows, movies and music on the international sites?
Supposedly Prime is to be launched here in December and another 200 odd countries at some point.
Can you even register for Amazon Prime and Stream from Aus without using a VPN?
