Netflix is basically an American company that deals with on-demand video streaming over the internet as well as flat rate online video rental or the so-called rental by mail service that is available in the US and Canada. It has managed to succeed in the said field evident by its more than ten million subscribers. However, recent developments suggested that Netflix would be facing a rival as Amazon launches the Amazon Prime.
Basically, Amazon Prime is a type of membership program that gives you and your family unlimited and fast shipping such as a free two-day shipping as well as one-day shipping for only $ 3.99 per item for all eligible purchases for an annual fee of $ 79 only. In this program Amazon Prime members can enjoy free access tonet almost 5,000 movies and TV shows directly to their machines. This service will not require any additional fee aside from the $79 annual fee that it charges to its subscribers. Those eligible members can actually try out a membership by starting a trial.
This is definitely some good news especially for those Internet users who love to watch movies and TV shows over the internet for recreation. It is nice to hear that users now will have another option other than Netflix. The movies offered by Amazon include the Swedish-language The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy as well as classic films like Amadeus and Chariots of Fire as well as the TV series such as the “Fawlty Towers.” However, the selection seems to be more of a mere sliver of the 90,000 movies and TV shows that are featured in Amazon’s complete Instant Video catalog.
At present, Amazon offers five of the years’ 10 Best Picture Oscar nominees for instant streaming, but none of these films are included in the free Amazon Prime offer. Because of this move, it is expected that Amazon will be colliding with the Netflix and hit a milestone as it announced the Amazon Prime availability.
Well, it seems that the Amazon Prime has very interesting service that should be looked forward to. So try it now.

I love how the market is heading in a direction of streaming mobile media, and Netflix is not far behind. I am a DISH Network subscriber/employee, and I have been using the DISH Remote Access app to stream on demand content, all of my DVR recordings, and live TV to my Android. I have tried Netflix for years, but scanning 30 min for something to watch is not entertaining to me.
