It looks like it's exclusively through the Amazon App Store, although it works for all types of Android devices, not just Fire.

The Amazon App on the Google Play store mentions the separate Instant Video app from the Amazon App Store:

However, this page indicates that you can download the Instant Video app from within the Amazon App, perhaps without downloading the Amazon App Store app as well:

Amazon is currently selling X-Men: Days of Future Past for $9.99 in HD.

X-Men: DOFP Amazon Instant Video

I'm doing the 30-day trial now.
What exclusive movies/shows does Prime have right now? Not necessarily Amazon-owned titles like Transparent. Just stuff that isn't on Netflix or Hulu+ at this point in time.

DJariya

Hannibal
24
Grimm
Suits
Covert Affairs
The Americans
Under the Dome
Extant

are some of the TV shows I can think of that are Amazon exclusive.

Prime Member Exclusives: Not on Netflix

Thanks guys!

Mr. Cinema

The biggest exclusive to me is the old HBO stuff. I've been using Amazon's streaming since they launched and it's gotten much better over the years, in terms of selection, interface, and video quality. And it runs great on their Fire TV box. I find myself using AIV much more lately vs Netflix.

Netflix is the streaming king right now, but I can easily see Amazon eventually surpassing them due to their much larger pockets. As streaming gets more popular, licensing for exclusives will only go up.

The problem is they've neglected the interface on everything but the Amazon Fire.

Mr. Cinema

I thought I read that all the 2014 Sony BD players got an updated AIV interface. Not sure about the X1 or PS4.

Does Amazon have any plans to offer an HTML5 option like Netflix? I'd think that they'd want to ditch Silverlight.

Jay G.

They already offer Flash as an alternative:

anyone watching Transparent? wondering what you think...

i think it is good, very well done, but not blow me away outstanding. good performances, quirky characters. on ep. 7 or so and enjoying it.

rduncan

I've completed the series and agree.

So I am on a shared ATT plan for my monthly data...internet use.

We have 30 GB and I am curious to how much data is used on a per hour or minute basis. I want to stream and watch 1-2 Star Trek TNG eps a week but worried it is a data hog. Anyone have statistics on this HD and SD?

Rexxriot

I liked it as well. I'm glad they released the whole season at once instead of one episode a week like they did with the first two Amazon Originals. It seems like they realize the benefit of binge watching since season two of Alpha House will be released the same way. http://www.cnet.com/news/amazon-flag...-binge-oct-24/

Transparent was renewed for a second season.

And yeah, the thing Amazon forgets about TV shows, is while they're on for up to 26 weeks they are also advertised constantly, and have lead-in shows.

TheBigDave

Whatever happened to that Amazon pilot about a group of random survivors and the world was falling apart? I thought that was picked up for a full season. Did it get dumped? I can't even find the pilot on their site.

Jay G.

The After. It got picked up, but won't premiere until "early 2015."

Amazon is just releasing the shows as they become available. I'm guessing Transparent, being a half hour show with limited SFX, was able to complete their season before an hour long show that's likely FX heavy.

I watched Transparent a few weeks back when it was first released. I enjoyed it and was surprised a bit. It isn't extremely great but I liked it. The creator was a writer on Six Feet Under and it has that kind of vibe. Jeffrey Tambor gives Emmy worth performances in several episodes.

24 Live Another Day now on the service.

My favorite movie of the year, Coherence, was added to Amazon Prime Instant... As was Night Moves and Palo Alto.

davidh777

They've added the autoplay-next-episode feature. Deadly timesuck.

EDIT: This was on PS3. It wasn't happening on Xbox One when I watched something.

Vipper II

I think I need to watch Coherence again.

RichC2

It isn't for everybody, I'm a mega nerd and really like Triangle too.
