I enjoy streaming movies and TV shows with Amazon Prime. I just wish the Fire TV wasn't such a horrible streaming device. Hopefully they will improve these in the neat future so that their performance is on par with Roku, Apple TV, etc.
It was my understanding that with #Netflix's global expansion, the majority of their offerings were not available outside the US. I wonder if that's the same with #Amazon or not.
Interesting that it seems to be a stand alone service from #Amazon in countries where they don't offer #AmazonPrime. But how much will they charge after the introductory offer expires? I wonder... Either way, it could be some unwanted competition for #NEtflix which has invested heavily in this area. $AMZN $NFLX
#Amazon is definitely going to give #Netflix a run for its money with this expansion!! $NFLX $AMZN
