So basically a Fire TV stick for £9.99 (plus postage).

Prime member already myself so can't avail of.
Note that there's a new Fire TV Stick rumored shortly, going through FCC approval at the moment according to aftvnews.com

Just to be clear on this - You need to sign up for 12 months of Prime at £79, presumably up front, to get £25 off a Fire TV Stick

Can you set up a new account and take the trial out?

So, essentially it's "pay £90 to get Prime and a Fire Stick instead of £115".

Yup, in a nutshell - providing you're a new subscriber it seems. No love for existing Prime subscribers!

Looks like Amazon are expecting a bunch of new subs with 'The Grand Tour' and taking the opportunity to unload old Fire TV Stick stock, not that there's anything wrong with that. It's a good device for what it is though.

To be fair you can use some of the prime services in Ireland
- Kindle lending works
- Prime one-day works to parcel motel just fine
- Cloud drive is unlimited storage for photos so its better value then dropbox
- Prime Music works

Thats without trying to use anything to get around geo restrictions, its not actually bad if you even get good usage out of the cloud drive like I do (700GB odd backed up to it)

Prime Video works for me too without any work around on many titles, in fact there is now a big "when abroad" section shown to me when I log in.

Thats only a hand full of titles but yes that does work fine in Ireland (the When Abroad section),
You can watch the entire season of Man in the white castle for example

@Cabaal, How have you gotten Prime Music to work, I keep getting asked to enter my Credit Card Details and a billing address. My Prime account is set to the UK with a billing address in the UK. My Music is set to the UK but I keep being prompted to enter my details and then it tells me there is an issue with them!!!

Any assistance you can offer would be great.

Thanks

It'll work with Irish Netflix just fine, also All4 works on it too.
BBC iPlayer etc don't work however out of the box.
