Amazon Discounts Prime Membership Ahead of Black Friday

Heads up: Online retailer Amazon has reduced the price of its Prime membership by £20, offering it for £59 instead of £79. The discount comes ahead of the Black Friday sale season, when it will heavily discount a range of products, including video games.

In addition to expedited delivery of orders, a Prime membership also gives subscribers access to Prime Video--a TV and movie streaming service. Prime Music is also included, along with cloud storage space for photos.

For the Black Friday sales, Prime members will also get a 30-minute lead on Lightning Deals. The offer ends on November 18.

In the lead-up to the event, Amazon has offered discounts on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and Dragon Age: Inquisition as part of a Countdown to Black Friday event. Amazon has said it will offer "tens of thousands" more deals through its Black Friday hub. This promotion will run from November 27 until December 22.

Head to the video game hub of Amazon's Black Friday page to see all the video game currently offers.
