Amazon Launching a Netflix-like Unlimited Video Streaming Service

A leaked screenshot of a new Amazon Video product has been released. Amazon has recently acquired LoveFilm in the UK and it now seems as though they want to take on Netflix head on.

It seems as though Amazon plans to offer an unlimited video streaming service. Amazon is yet to confirm anything, it seems pretty clear what the company has in the works is making streamed content an add-on to its existing Amazon Prime service, which provides free two-day shipping on any products consumers buy from Amazon.

It could be a hugely compelling alternative to Netflix for a number of reasons. First, the $79 it costs to be a part of Amazon Prime is cheaper than $95 Netflix subscribers have to shell out. Amazon also has pockets deep enough to match Netflix on content spending, and may even be able to provide content Netflix doesn’t have.
