Imagine my surprise when I logged into my Amazon account this morning and discovered that as an Amazon Prime member I can now watch movies and TV shows on my computer at no additional cost!
Here’s just a bit of what I found that was available as unlimited instant video for Amazon Prime subscribers. I think all of these are also on Netflix.
- Primeval
- Doctor Who
- Torchwood
- Farscape
- NOVA
- The Planets
- Survivors
- Tin Man
- Red Dwarf
- Highlander
There are other instant streaming science fiction and fantasy TV shows at Amazon if you want to see it all: prime eligible sci-fi and fantasty TV at Amazon.
I’m a Netflix member and I have it set up through my WII, but I hadn’t imagined having even more television viewing options through my Amazon Prime membership. It’s a little overwhelming.
{Seriously. I might now have too many TV options to allow me to get any work done around the house or to spend time with my family. I am being bombarded by TV from places I would have never imagined.}
Of course–I like it! I’m getting more value for my money. Although, I will have to look around to see if there are actually any benefits to having TV shows available through Amazon.
I don’t know if any of the freely available TV shows on Amazon are shows that I can’t also get on Netflix. And of course, with Netflix hooked up to my television, I prefer to watch TV shows on Netflix instead of on the computer when I can.
Amazon didn’t send me any kind of notification of this change, though. It would’ve been nice if they’d sent me an email.
