The audio was in English but the visuals were in German, which given the style was very distracting. I could not change the video source. Piracy has always been a better experience, it was just more work for a short time. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) For us it comes for free from the prime account. I still refuse to watch anything on Prime video, but I believe I'm not pirating because I technically do have access to all these movies/shows.

What are you getting out of it? Have you done the math of what you could do with $140 per year instead? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yamanii@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Can't speak for them but in my part of the country shipping fees are pretty high, so prime was actually a great thing when they started doing it here, I do save more than I would if instead I shopped for a slightly cheaper version with crazy high shipping in another store. permalink fedilink source parent
