Amazon Introduces Free Video Streaming For Prime Members2011-02-22 12:08 by DanielaTags: Amazon, Netflix, video
The Internet video market is heating up: Amazon has just announced that it will be offering a new Prime Instant Video service that will allow Amazon Prime members to stream movies for free. The commercial-free, instant streaming of over 5,000 movies and TV shows is available for all Amazon Prime members, at no additional cost beyond the Prime membership, which runs $79 a year. The offer does not apply to those who have access to Prime for free, as students, or in trial. It's also available only in the U.S. Amazon's announcement may put some pressure on Netflix, which recently announced a subscription plan that allowed users to subscribe only to their streaming video service, and which just lost the Criterion collection of movies to another streaming competitor, Hulu Plus. Currently, estimates put Netflix's instant video library at around 20,000. Amazon's streaming video will also be available through Roku and Tivo, as well as on other devices. Read more -here-
