An unlimited video streaming service may soon launch for Amazon Prime members. Last night, Amazon mistakenly slipped the following message on their site:
“Your Amazon Prime membership now includes unlimited, commerical-free instant streaming of 5,000 movies and TV shows at no additional cost“.
Pretty cool addition to Amazon's already amazing services. But, this won't be able to compete with Netflix. Netflix is just too much of an established brand that many people use. But, who says 2 competitors can't co-exist?
I already get it for free since im a student, but if this is true (which i think it is) then ill become a paying member in a heart beat.
It depends on what this service offers that would get me interested or not. I assume they won't do DVD-by-mail like Netflix so they need to make sure to have an extensive streaming library that also includes movies being available for streaming from the day of release on DVD. If they don't do that then there's really no need for me to switch from Netflix to this.
