Amazon Prime Instant Video loads ‘Justified’ into its six shooter

The internet is a mighty spacious frontier, but apparently it ain’t big enough for both Amazon and Netflix, as the two continue to favor the ten-paces-and-spin approach, over the Kumbaya-by-the-campfire method. Yesterday, Amazon fired off another round by announcing it had inked an exclusive deal to offer FX’s “Justified” on Prime Instant Video.

This news arrives on the heels of Amazon’s high profile lassoing of Downton Abbey, an equally popular but diametrically different show. The deal with Sony Pictures Television means that, after paying an annual $80 subscription fee, Prime Instant Video users will have unfettered access to seasons 1-3 of the new-age western, with season 4 (still in progress) arriving after it’s done airing. If your clicking finger is a bit itchy, however, you can purchase the more recent installments as soon as they’re done airing, at a cost of $2 a pop.

This deal is important not just because Amazon is aggressively pursuing content, but also because of the diversity of that content. The English countryside is a far cry from the coal-mining towns of eastern Kentucky, and as Amazon amasses a catalog of exclusives, that diversity should pay dividends, attracting customers from several different demographics.

For Prime Instant Video subscribers, Justified is available at the ideal price and at the perfect time: Free and now.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 headphones

While we aren't seeing too many electronics for this years Prime Day deals -- there's a much bigger emphasis on items people need like groceries, tools, supplies, and more -- that doesn't mean they're completely non-existent. In fact, there are still some pretty incredible deals going on, like Prime Day soundbar deals, Prime Day headphone deals, Prime Day AirPods deals, or even deals at rival retailers like Prime Day Walmart deals. Speaking of headphones and great deals, take this next offer on the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 wireless headphones. Normally $899, they're on sale during the Prime libations for $675, which saves you $225. Now, the lowest we've seen these headphones this year is around $588, which would be a total savings of $311 -- so the Amazon Prime day price isn't far off.

Why you should buy the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H96 wireless headphones for Prime Day
In Digital Trends' Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 wireless headphones preview, the brand describes them as "the most advanced active noise cancellation headphones" they've ever created. A few years on, that might have changed a little, but it doesn't change the fact that these headphones are awesome. They feature an over-ear design, with two 40mm titanium drivers built-in, complemented by neodymium magnets. That means they deliver crisp, precise, and punchy bass for an immersive listening experience, regardless of the music genre -- or podcast -- you're listening to.

The LG S75Q 3.1.2-channel soundbar with subwoofer with a TV.

If you're not impressed by the audio output of your TV, give it a boost by buying a soundbar from this year's Prime Day deals. If you don't want to go through all the offers, here's a recommendation -- the LG S75Q 3.1.2-channel soundbar, which is available for just $297. It's down to less than half its original price of $600 following a $303 discount from Amazon, but you're going to have to hurry with your purchase if you want to get the soundbar for this cheap. If you wait until the last minute of the shopping holiday, there's a good chance that you'll miss out.

Why you should buy the LG S75Q 3.1.2-channel soundbar
As the best TVs get thinner, they no longer have enough space for top-tier speakers. If you want the complete cinematic experience in your living room, you're going to have to invest in a soundbar like the LG S75Q 3.1.2-channel soundbar. Our guide on how to buy a soundbar explains what those numbers mean -- the "3" refers to the number of channels, namely left and right channels, plus a center channel that makes speech in movies and shows clearer, while the "1" means that the soundbar comes with a subwoofer that is dedicated for low-frequency audio like rumbling bass and explosion sounds. Lastly, the "2" means that there are two dedicated drivers that fire up to the ceiling to bounce sound down and create an enveloping effect to enable Dolby Atmos surround sound and DTS: X.
