Prime Video lets subscribers buy exclusive add-on bundles at a discounted price. This lets users watch content from other streaming services like AMC+, MGM+, STARZ, HBO Max, Paramount+, and more. However, now that streaming has become so expensive, some audiences may think twice about paying for so much content every month. But Prime Video has announced an exciting deal that will help users pay less for new content.
As of September 15, Prime Video has added more services to a massive new bundle, allowing U.S. subscribers to bundle five different streaming platforms for $30 per month. The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Prime Video will launch a bundle that includes AMC+, BritBox, MGM+, PBS Masterpiece, and STARZ. All Amazon customers can purchase this bundle, even if they don’t already subscribe to Prime. This is the first time Prime Video has offered all of these platforms in a bundle this big.
Though this new deal isn’t cheap, it offers a massive discount to subscribers looking for fresh content. Subscribing to all these platforms individually through Prime Video would’ve cost more than $40 per month. Prime Video said that the bundle is 39% off compared to paying for each add-on subscription. Ryan Pirozzi, head of Prime Video Channels, said the bundle marks new ground for the streaming giant and highlighted its benefits to customers.
“Today marks a milestone for our customers, the launch of the first-ever five-service streaming bundle on Prime Video. Our subscriptions and bundles business continues to see incredible growth because we stay focused on delivering unmatched selection, value, and convenience,” Pirozzi said. “With AMC+, MGM+, BritBox, PBS Masterpiece, and STARZ together, Prime Video customers get the premium entertainment they love, all in one place.”
What does each platform offer in this new bundle?
Access several beloved titles for a fraction of the cost
With the new Prime Video bundle, subscribers can stream several must-see titles across multiple genres that are only available on outside services. With STARZ, audiences can stream big shows like Outlander, Power, Ash vs Evil Dead, and Spartacus. Meanwhile, AMC+ offers hits including Interview with the Vampire, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Mad Men, Mayfair Witches, and the entire Walking Dead franchise. On top of that, MGM+ features acclaimed productions, including original programming like FROM, Godfather of Harlem, The Institute, and the newly released American Hostage.
Both BritBox and PBS Masterpiece also offer acclaimed content from the U.K., from dramas to documentaries. If you’re a fan of British shows like Doctor Who and Downton Abbey, then this bundle should be right for you. Also, if you’re a fan of British comedy like me, this bundle should give you access to hilarious programs like A Bit of Fry and Laurie, The IT Crowd, and Blackadder.
All in all, Prime Video’s new bundle should give audiences access to a wide variety of content, all while making it easier for them to stream their favorite programs from one place. In an age when people pay for several streaming services at a time, this bundle should help users pay less for entertainment and keep better track of the platforms they’re paying for.
How can I set up my Prime Video bundle?
Here’s how to subscribe to new services from Prime Video
You can now buy this new bundle by visiting the Amazon Prime Video Add-Ons Page. Once you’re there, go down to the “Subscriptions” row and select “Browse All.” Or, you can select the “Subscriptions” tab, then scroll down until you find the “See all subscriptions” button. Either way, this should direct you to where you can purchase streaming bundles on Prime. The new bundle in question is listed with the caption, “Bundle five and save 39%.”
You can access Prime Video through your web browser or through the Prime Video app. You can download the latter on iOS or Android through the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, respectively. You can also use the app on smart TVs made by Samsung, Sony, LG, VIZIO, and Hisense. As for streaming sticks, users can watch Prime Video on devices like Fire TV, Roku, Google Chromecast, Apple TV, and Nvidia Shield.
If you want to set up a Prime Video account and begin bundling, you can begin with an ad-supported subscription starting at $9 per month. Meanwhile, the ad-free Prime Video Ultra costs $14 per month. Ultimately, the new streaming bundle would cost $30, in addition to what you pay for Amazon Prime or Prime Video.
Overall, subscribers will still have to spend a lot of money each month to bundle all these streaming services on Prime Video. However, Amazon’s new five-in-one bundle still offers subscribers a cheaper alternative to paying for each platform separately. For those looking to stream prestige dramas, classic films, and British programming, this new bundle is worth considering.
