Amazon launches Amazon Prime Video globally with Australians to pay $8 per month
Amazon has now launched its video streaming service, Amazon Prime Video, globally, just weeks after the streaming service opened access to some of its content to Australia.
The launch has seen the video platform – which boasts series such as The Grand Tour, Transparent, Bosch and Mozart in the Jungle – become available in more than 200 countries and territories around the world.
Customers in new Prime Video territories can sign up to the service at an introductory price of US$2.99 (AU$4.05) for the first six months, starting with a free seven-day trial, with the price then increasing to the full US$5.99 (AU$8.10).
This puts Prime Video at a slightly cheaper price-point than rival Netflix, which has plans starting from $8.99, and Fairfax Media and Nine Entertainment Co.,’s Stan which has a price-point of $10.
Finally. Now we don’t need Stan who white label Amazon Prime.
Why should I buy? I already have Netflix. You need to show me the light Amazon.
However, not available on many LG ‘smart’ TV’s… and Xbox 360 is still to have the app released in Australia (and Canada for that matter).
