[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 9072748, member: 6988941"] Here in the US I have had the ad supported version of Paramount+ through Amazon Prime since it was CBSAllAccess, so presumably the deal currently being made has to do with other markets. I got it because subscribing to and unsubscribing from an Amazon Prime channel is trivially easy if you have a Prime account. But unless you are a Prime subscriber who is pretty sure you just want to do Paramount+ for a month or two (or a trial period) and really appreciates that convenience or gets some sort of special deal I would NOT recommend this version of the service. Finding specific shows, including just released ones you would think they'd want to promote, is needlessly difficult; they are haphazard in where the ads drop (first season of [I]Picard[/I], Seven of Nine had a big entrance right before an intended ad break, but they dropped into ads a second and a half or so early, ruining a dramatic moment with an awkward cut); and for the last two months the subtitles have been wildly out of sync to the point where I have had to turn them off and watch at a higher volume than I would like. I can't vouch for these things not being the case on Paramount+ proper, but it seems unlikely that they are so careless. [/QUOTE]
