We heard it was coming and now here it is.
Amazon has flipped the switch on its "free" video streaming for Prime members, the service we've been
hearing about for the past month or so. If you've already been taking advantage of subscription-based two-day shipping so that your impulse buys get to your door a little quicker you can now enjoy streaming of 5,000 pieces of "prime eligible" content, including some recent movies and a lot of TV shows, much of which will look awfully familiar if you're also a
Netflix subscriber. However, on some foreign films (like
The Girl who Kicked the Hornets' Nest above) you have the choice of subtitles or dubbed, and much of this content is still available to "rent" or "buy" if you want to be able to download it to a mobile device. We're just checking out the service now and will be back with some impressions a little later.
[Thanks, Chris]

I am super stoked to try this out! I have been a Prime member for two years now and find it's value alone to be worht while on just the shipping costs. Now, above and beyond as Amazon always does... We get free streaming content! w00t!
I will try it today! Also have a TiVo Premiere... Wonder if it works there?
