Home Theater

Amazon Prime Video is a streaming service that's included with every Amazon Prime membership. It works just like Netflix and other streaming services that provide you with a variety of movies and television shows that you can watch, on-demand, whenever you want.

Prime Video isn't a real solution for cord-cutters looking for a television replacement, but it does offer the option to add a limited number of live premium channels. Supported channels include HBO, Starz, Showtime, and others.

The main purpose of Amazon Prime is to provide free shipping for purchases made on the Amazon website, but you automatically receive access to additional benefits like Prime Video when you sign up.

How Does Amazon Prime Video Work?

Prime Video works just like Netflix and other streaming services. It allows you to watch on-demand movies and TV shows via your web browser, a mobile app on your phone, or even on your television with a game console or television streaming device.

Amazon offers a lot of content that you'll also see on other services, but it also has movies and television shows that are exclusively available to stream through Prime Video.

The service also produces original movies and television shows. Their movies are typically released in theaters before they become available for streaming, but Amazon Originals are only available to stream through Prime Video.

How to Get Amazon Prime Video

The only way to get Prime Video is to sign up for Amazon Prime. If you subscribe to Prime for free shipping, then you already have access to Prime Video. If you don't subscribe to Amazon Prime yet, you can check it out through a free trial. There is no way to get Prime Video without Prime, though, so you'll also get free shipping, Twitch Prime, and other benefits as part of the deal.

If you don't already have Amazon Prime, here's how to check out a free Prime Video trial:

Navigate to amazon. com/gp/prime/signup/videos. Click Start your 30-day free trial. Enter your Amazon login information and click Sign in, or click Create your Amazon account if you don't already have one. Enter a payment method, and click Add your card. You will not be charged if you cancel within the trial period. Complete the signup, and you'll be ready to start streaming.

What's Included With Amazon Prime Video?

Prime Video includes access to hundreds of thousands of movies and television episodes that you can stream on-demand. Like Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming services, Prime Video offers a mixture of movies and television shows from big studios and networks and their own original content.

The vast majority of the content available through Prime Video is on-demand, which means you can stream it any time you want. There is no live television available, with the exception of a limited number of sports games, and live content from premium add-on channels like Starz.

If you navigate to amazon. com/Prime-Video, you can see all of the movies and TV shows that are available through Prime Video.

How to Use Amazon Prime Video

You can use Prime Video to stream movies and television shows on most computers with a web browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. All you need is a computer that's powerful enough to stream video, a broadband internet connection, and a compatible web browser.

Here's how to stream videos with Prime Video:

Navigate to amazon. com/primevideos. Click a movie or television show you want to watch. Click Watch Now.

Look for the blue and white Prime banner on the upper left corner of the thumbnails of shows and videos. If you don't see the banner, the video isn't available through Prime.

How to Watch Amazon Prime Video on Mobile Devices

You can also stream movies and television shows through Prime Video using the Prime Video app. Amazon has a lot of apps, including the Amazon Shopping app and the Amazon Alexa app, so it's important to get the right one if you want to stream videos.

Here's where you can get the Prime Video app:

Android: Prime Video on the Google Play Store iOS: Prime Video on the App Store Roku: Prime Video Roku Channel Xbox One: Prime Video on the Microsoft Store. PlayStation 4: Prime Video on the PlayStation Store. Fire: Prime Video is included by default on Kindle Fire and Fire TV devices.

What Are Amazon Originals?

Amazon Originals are exclusive videos that you can only stream from Prime Video. Amazon produces, and buys the rights to, a variety of feature films, television shows, and documentaries.

Amazon Originals are a lot like Netflix and Hulu originals, since you have to subscribe to a service to see them. The main difference is that Amazon typically releases their movies in theaters prior to making them available for streaming, which has allowed their movies to win Oscars and other awards.

If you want to watch dramas like The Man in the High Castle, action series like Jack Ryan, or comedy shows like the live-action revival of The Tick, Prime Video is the only place you can get them.

Is Amazon Prime Video a Cable Replacement for Cord Cutters?

Prime Video isn't really suitable as a true cable replacement for cord-cutters, because it doesn't have live television. True cable replacement services like Sling TV, YouTube TV, and Hulu With Live TV all include live feeds from the major networks and cable channels in addition to on-demand content.

You can watch a limited amount of live television on Prime Video, including select NFL Thursday Night Football games, but cord-cutters in search of a real replacement for cable need to look elsewhere.

Prime Video is a good option for cord-cutters to have available, and it does have enough content to offer a great alternate entertainment option for cord-cutters who aren't interested in watching live television.

What Are Prime Video Channels?

In addition to all of the content that Prime Video includes for free, the service also allows you to sign up for add-on channels. These are primarily premium cable channels like HBO, Showtime, and Starz, but you can also subscribe to CBS All Access and a number of other services through Amazon Channels.

Most Amazon Channels provide some type of free trial period, so you can check them out before you have to pay. After that, Amazon charges you a monthly fee for each channel you subscribe to.

Amazon Channels all include on-demand content, so signing up for HBO or Showtime gives you access to HBO or Showtime's original shows through Prime Video.

Some Amazon Channels also give you access to a live feed of the channel, which is the other way you can watch live television on Prime Video. You can access both on-demand and live content from Amazon Channels through the same website and apps that you use for Prime Video.

Can You Rent Movies From Amazon Prime Video?

In addition to the thousands of movies and television episodes included for free with Prime Video, Amazon also provides access to a massive library of paid content.

You can rent digital downloads of movies and television episodes from Amazon, and you can also buy them to keep forever. This doesn't require an Amazon Prime membership, but as a Prime member, you use the same exact interface, account, and billing information to rent and buy digital movies that you use for Prime Video.

If you don't see the blue and white Prime banner on the thumbnail of a movie or TV show on Amazon Video, then that means it isn't available through Prime Video, and you can either rent or buy it.

When did Amazon Prime launch in Australia?

Amazon launched its local retail services in late 2017, but there was initially no sign of Amazon Prime, with only the promise that it would be available in the near future, before finally making its local variant of Amazon Prime available here on 19 June 2018.

Don't confuse Amazon Prime video, available in Australia since 2016, with the full range of Amazon Prime features. That's just one of the benefits you can get with the full package.

Amazon Prime Day

Amazon Prime Day 2019: All the deals in one place

Here are the most important things you should know about Amazon Prime Day in Australia. Read more…

How much does Amazon Prime cost and what do you get?

Here in Australia, Amazon Prime will cost $6.99 per month, or $54 per year for a membership. As an introductory offer, up until 31 January 2019, Amazon Prime membership in Australia will only cost $4.99 per month.

The first trial month is available free, but it does act on the classic recurring costs model, so if you forget to cancel within that month, you'll be charged for the next month.

In Australia, we'll see a slightly different set of offers with Amazon Prime than the company offers in other markets, especially its core US market. Specifically, you get:

Free two-day domestic delivery Free Standard International Delivery on eligible orders over $49 Amazon Prime Video Prime Reading Twitch Prime

So how does that compare? Well, the US price for Amazon Prime is US$99 a year or $10.99 a month. We're getting Amazon Prime a little cheaper, but we're also getting a much smaller range of services.

For that price American Amazon Prime members get features including:

A huge range of online stores with lower prices than existing stores Free, fast and unlimited delivery when buying almost anything online Free same-day, or even two-hour, delivery on thousands of items from groceries to electronics Fast delivery from participating restaurants near you Free release date delivery on items pre-ordered before release Prime Video Prime Music, for unlimited access to millions of songs and playlists Kindle Unlimited Prime Photos, with unlimited digital cloud storage for your photos and a range of useful extra features Prime Early access to lightning deals, new releases and more Amazon Prime Twitch, for games discounts, pre-orders and more Exclusive Amazon Prime discounts and deals Membership sharing, where households can share an Amazon Prime subscription

What are the Amazon Prime features in Australia?

The key feature that Amazon sells Amazon Prime for here in Australia, and indeed every market is unlimited fast delivery. In the Australian context that's within a 2-business day window to what Amazon Australia claims will cover "nearly 90% of Australians". If you do order a lot of smaller items from Amazon Australia that don't bounce over the free shipping limit, that could quickly add up to some significant savings.

There will be some items that actually will get a virtual "same day" delivery window if you live within a qualifying metropolitan area in Australia. For new release movies, games and music, Amazon will offer what it calls "release date delivery" on selected items. For practical purposes, given you wouldn't be able to buy them anywhere else until that day, that would effectively be same-day as long as you pre-ordered them.

The caveat here is that Prime delivery only applies to goods actually shipped by Amazon Australia, or what it calls "Prime eligible" products. Amazon Australia now claims millions of items in its local catalog, but not all of them come out of its own warehouse. Those products won't be Prime eligible, so you'll need to check carefully when shopping to see if your shipping will actually be fast and free.

Amazon is also claiming free international shipping for Amazon US orders worth over $49 for Amazon Prime members. Amazon has already stated that in order to remain GST-compliant, it will cease shipping to Australian addresses from Amazon US from 1 July 2018.

What this means in effect is that from 19 June 2018 through to 30 June 2018, Amazon Prime subscribers will be able to shop and browse all of Amazon. com for expedited international shipping. After that date, Amazon will make a quantity of items, still yet to be clarified, available to ship from the US, but appearing in the Australian site for Prime customers to shop from. It will be a smaller selection of items, although we don't yet know precise numbers.

As it does in the US, you also get access to a number of extra content services. Amazon Prime Video is included with Amazon Prime for free, which gives you access to Amazon's own original content and a small range of classic movies and TV shows. Beyond flagship titles such as The Grand Tour there's not the same range as, say, Netflix, but it's a decent enough freebie.

You also get access to Prime Reading, a catalog of around 1,000 eBooks to read. Amazon already has a subscription eBook service, Kindle Unlimited, but this isn't that service. Kindle Unlimited promises over 1 million books to read, but Prime Reading is rather more constrained.

For gamers, Amazon Prime also includes access to Twitch Prime, Amazon's game streaming service. Amazon Prime members will get access to free games and in-game content, as well as ad-free viewing of Twitch content.

Is Amazon Prime worth it?

If you do a lot of shopping online, or want to, then there’s no doubt that Amazon Prime is well worth it. The exceptionally wide range of things for sale on Amazon means you can find almost everything you need online, while the unlimited free delivery means there’s nothing too small to buy.

That's undoubtedly where you'll see the biggest benefits from a Prime membership, especially if you're in a metro area of Australia already. If you buy large cost items you may well qualify for free shipping anyway, but having a Prime membership will mean that no item (as long as it's Prime eligible) will be too low cost to order. If you pass the free delivery threshold (currently for orders of $49 or above) delivery is said to be within 3-7 business days, which is somewhat slower than 2 business days, so if speed of your goods is a must then there could be some value there.

How much is Amazon Prime?

Amazon Prime will cost $6.99 per month in Australia, or $54 per year. Up until 31 January 2019, you'll only pay $4.99 per month, and the first month is free.

Is there a free trial for Amazon Prime?

You can get a Prime Video free trial, as well as cheap signup for only $4.99 a month until 31 January 2019.

Does Amazon Prime have 4k?

Yes. You can stream in 4k with Amazon Prime Video but right now only with compatible 4k televisions for a limited range of its content.

Does Amazon Prime work on Apple TV?

Yes. You can watch Amazon Prime Video on Apple TV, although it’s not quite as quick and easy as others.

To watch Prime Video on an Apple TV you need to stream a video to your tablet or another device and then select your Apple TV from that device instead.

What’s Amazon Prime Pantry?

Amazon Prime Pantry, currently only available in mainland USA, is how to order small amounts of groceries and everyday items for less. You get to fill a Prime Pantry Box, either all the way or as little as you want, to get flat delivery fees of $5.99 for a Prime Pantry Box.

This is how you order in everyday sizes instead of in bulk, while getting a range of discounts and deals on all kinds of items, including some free-shipping deals by adding select items to your cart.

At launch, there's no sign of Amazon Prime Pantry here in Australia.

Does Amazon Prime include audiobooks?

In the US, yes, but here in Australia, no.

US Amazon Prime customers gain access to an Audible Channels membership for free, which ordinarily costs up to $60 a year. This lets them get access to a full range of audiobooks, including all kinds of new releases, celebrity-narrated classics and bestsellers.

Here in Australia, Audible remains a charged extra for now, although 30-day free trials are available.

Does Amazon Prime deliver on Sunday?

Amazon rather specifically states that its shipping in Australia is within 2 business days, so sadly that's a no.

Does Amazon Prime include music?

Again, there's no sign of Amazon Music integration with Amazon Prime here in Australia, even though it's available here as a subscription product and it's included with Amazon Prime US membership.

How to get an Amazon Prime discount:

You can get Amazon Prime for less if you’re signing up for the first time, with a free 30 day trial that will then become a paid service if you don't cancel on time.

Up until 31 January 2019, Amazon Prime in Australia will also be available at a discount price of just $4.99 per month, down from its standard $6.99 per month. Once 2019 rolls around, the lowest per-month way to get Amazon Prime will be the annual membership at $54 per month, or an effective $4.50 per month.

Is Amazon Prime better than Netflix?

The Amazon Prime video library in Australia is considerably smaller than what Netflix offers, although membership is cheaper.

Both Netflix and Prime have exclusive series, so the best is whichever one has what you want.

Check out our regularly updated list of Amazon Prime movies and Amazon Prime TV shows, then compare them to the list of Netflix movies and TV shows.

Remember that these are both being updated all the time. If they both have something you want, then it might be worth getting both, or you might get Prime for the lower price.
