Amazon roll`g out Netflix-like video stream`g 4 Prime subscribers?
Rumors of Amazon either purchas`g Netflix or launch`g the compet`g option`ve`en circl`g & now 1 of our readers says he’s see`g an unlimited video stream`g section to complement the current Amazon VOD options. That’s the nice bonus 4 the $79 / year package Z currently adds the few free shipp`g bonuses & it`ld B cheaper on the yearly basis than Netflix’s Watch Instantly ($95.88.) As seen above & in the gallery, it consists of “unlimited, commercial-free, instant stream`g of 5,000 movies & TV shows” w/ selections Z mirror the Watch Instantly catalog closely. Resolution`s apparently limited to the “pretty solid” 480p SD, although (unless) there’s no word on audio or subtitle options. We’ll wait to hear if anyone else`s see`g the similar page before assum`g the wide rollout, although (unless) it certainly appears Z there could finally B the viable competitor to the Netflix juggernaut .
