First thing drive sucks compared to top gear
second Prime is only $100 a year and I get way more out of it then my Netflix account which costs me $110 a year I know 10 bucks, but I'm also getting 2 day shipping, Unlimited Photo Storage, and music on top of my instant Video
Third look how many people started watching Netflix after they started making shows

So you mean I won't have to torrent TG anymore and will actually be able to watch it on my TV the moment it comes out? Well, talk about the tables being flipped on their UK/Euro viewers. Would they be *****ing if it was on Netflix? I think this is a huge win for Amazon as it will get a lot of people to take on a Prime account.

Yup!
But I think the cost of Prime is going to be a big hurdle, and I doubt Amazon, after spending big bucks to outdo Netflix and sign these guys, will really have a budget that rivals what Top Gear has on BBC.
We shall wait and see.
Oh, and I think there would be less *****ing for netflix because it seems that netflix subscriptions are far more the norm there.

Prime is probably less popular there because it has less features than it does here.
For example, in Canada, prime is only free shipping. They don't get all the digital stuff.

Prime is only available in 6 countries.
Top Gear was simulcast is 50 countries.

Either way, it's all conjecture at this point. Time will tell.

I don't think these guys would have signed on to any of the online services unless they had a budget with which they were comfortable. It's a huge coup for Amazon to get these guys and I have a feeling they're going to (1) get a lot of Prime subscriptions out of this, and (2) expand Prime services to a LOT more countries/locales.

I could be wrong, but, I just don't see it. Netflix would have been the better platform with far more reach. But I can see Netflix being in control of it all from start to finish, including creative concepts.

Yup, makes sense. But still don't expect them to be able to do it big. I could be wrong though. Amazon has no issues losing money on prime shipping huge ****, so what do I know about how profitable they want to be. LOL
