Huh. This is sudden. I never heard of any plans in regards to this. Really cool bonus since I'm a Prime member.

I just downloaded the Amazon Video app. Time to test it out!
For those who have never had Amazon Prime, you get a free 1 month trial.Last edited by Lethal_NFS; 04-03-2012 at 23:54.

I think it is worth it. There are some pretty good free movies like Mission Impossible 3, Dumb and Dumber, Shooter, etc. TV shows and news channels. The picture quality is good and streams pretty quickly.

If you shop online a lot like I do then Prime is worth it for the free 2-day shipping for the year alone. Originally Posted by Yuuichi

I like the Amazon app and I also like the interface. First impression so far is that it does not seem better than Netflix for me because on my connection Netflix streams wonderfully and Amazon Instant video has been pausing...
I am thinking it's only temporary.....but definitely a nice surprise! I had been waiting for it.
EDIT
....yeah I think that was only temporary. Some things I would like amazon to add is an indication after watching an episode of a tv show, that you've seen it already...like Netflix does......but I am sure that will be added in time..Last edited by sainraja; 04-04-2012 at 03:33.

BOOOOO!!!!
Daywalker is not pleased.

I am stunned that some people appear to love their Playstation(1,2,3) or Xbox(360) more than I love the Denver Broncos.
Trust me, it's sad

Being a prime member this is nice. I browsed some of the sections earlier and I like the interface. For an added bonus of having prime, it's a great app. Definitely tomorrow going to have to check some stuff out to see how it runs.

Also keep in mind you can share the prime benefits with 4 other household members, give a roomate or two an invite for $20 and everybody wins. The free kindle books aren't bad either. Originally Posted by FonFahbre

I would take the Amazon app over just the HBO app.....you're not restricted to content by one vendor.... Originally Posted by DayWalker

So basically just the Lovefilm for America..that's good I guess, though I prefer Netflix.
Trophy-licious!

The problem is after Netflix split off their DVD by mail service they became stagnant on adding new movies. I get email every few months that Amazon has added 3,000 more movies and shows, while Netflix adds not much. Plus the free 2 day shipping and subscribe and save on groceries from Amazon adds a ton of value. I will still keep Netflix for now, I just don't see it being for more than a few months.

I've been on Prime for ages (I figure I use enough shipping in a year to pay for Prime a couple times over so it makes sense for me to get free 2nd day shipping), and never had a viewer to watch all the video on a TV, I'd been considering one of the new Roku boxes, now I don't have to. I don't much care about the HBO service, since I'd have to pay a subscription to use it and they really only have one show I'm interested in.

I'm an Amazon Prime member and wished this was available here, how annoying!

Not only is the free two day delivery worth it if you often purchase things but almost always you get release day shipping on most items. Also, I have bought many blu-rays from amazon and almost always if I get a new release Amazon will give me a free amazon video rental. For the prices it is a nice deal. Definately worth it to those that utilize the service. If you buy stuff every week off there like I do then a great service. Amazon Prime is basically 9.99 a month. I wouldn't sign up just for the video service but if you shop there it is worth it.
