Is there a Black Friday Prime Video deal?
Can you sign up for cheap?
With all the Black Friday streaming deals out there, you're probably having a hard time choosing which of the deals to sign up for. Hulu, Max, Paramount Plus, Peacock and more video sites have all cut their prices for the annual sales event, which leads to the question: is there a Black Friday Prime Video deal too?
Amazon's Prime Video has the second-biggest number of subscribers after Netflix, partly because of its large range of TV shows and movies, and partly because membership is technically a perk of Amazon Prime membership, so everyone who has that subscription is technically a Prime Video subscriber!
So can you get a discount on Prime Video for Black Friday. Well, Amazon is giving us the odd answer of both yes and no. Let's dive into what that actually means.
Is there currently a Black Friday Prime Video deal?
There's currently no deal on Amazon Prime or Prime Video membership, but you won't have to pay the usual monthly fees of $14.99 or £8.99 if you sign up now.
That's because there's a 30-day free trial to Prime, which includes Prime Video, so you can stream movies or TV shows for a month before the fees start.
Prime Video Black Friday deals
While Prime Video itself isn't cheaper during Black Friday, there is a fantastic Prime Video channel deal that can still help streaming fans save money.
Prime Video channels are optional add-ons to Prime Video, that unlock extra bundles of movies and TVs for an extra fee. Some share libraries with standalone streaming services, for example, there's a Paramount Plus channel and an MGM Plus one.
