Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It's good news for American gamers, after Amazon announced that they'll be giving 20 per cent off all newly-released and preordered games to Amazon Prime subscribers.
It's obviously not catch-free, because gamers first need to pay $99 a year (it's £79 a year in the UK) for Prime, Amazon's one-day delivery and deals service.
However, since brand-new triple-A games typically cost around $60 (£41) in the US, you'd only need to buy eight new games over the course of the year for the subscription to pay for itself.
There are a few limitations - Amazon defines 'newly released' as games that are less than two weeks old, so you'll need to move fast. And it obviously only applies to physical copies of the game, so if you prefer to download everything and keep clutter to a minimum, the deal might not be for you.
Meanwhile, British gamers will continue having to pay way more than their friends across the pond for the latest titles.
