Prime Video – A Great Benefit of Your Amazon Prime Membership

Daniel Wellington

When you think about subscribing to Amazon Prime, you likely just think about the free delivery you receive from Amazon. However, one of the top reasons for joining this service is to enjoy Prime Video as part of your membership. This is included free with your Amazon Prime subscription, and it’s something we encourage anyone to make the most of this summer. You’ll find endless hours of entertainment for you and your family, so it’s the perfect way to keep everyone entertained during the summer holidays.

What is Prime Video? 

Amazon Prime Video is a subscription streaming service that allows you to watch a huge collection of on-demand TV shows and movies. Similar to other popular services online today, you’ll find that Amazon Prime has a whole host of your favourite TV shows on offer. On top of that, you’ll also find it has its own shows that are only available on this service which you won’t want to miss out on. Popular shows currently include Solos, Criminal Minds, and Clarkson’s Farm, but there are hundreds of titles to choose from on the service. Prime Video comes as part of your Amazon Prime membership but can also be purchased as a standalone subscription if you prefer.

Prime Video allows you to enjoy amazing TV shows from around the world, and it primarily focuses on shows that are Prime Originals or produced by Amazon Studios. On top of that, you’ll find live sporting events, content from other providers, and you can also rent new movies for your viewing pleasure. With more of us choosing to spend our time at home today, you’ll find that you’ll have hours of entertainment to keep you busy after work and on the weekends. On top of that, you can also add on additional video subscription services, such as StarzPlay. During Amazon Prime Day, there’s a special offer on these services, allowing you to try them for just 99p a month for three months, which will offer you even more TV shows to choose from over the summer.

Prime Video Exclusive Shows

While Prime Video has been around since 2006, it has continued to expand year after year and offers viewers some amazing shows that they can’t watch elsewhere in the world. After kitting your living room out with a new Smart TV this Amazon Prime Day, you can sit back and relax and enjoy all of the shows the service has to offer this year. In 2015, Amazon announced The Grand Tour, a popular show starring the cast of Top Gear. Spending £4.5 million an episode on the show, you can tell Amazon is putting everything into creating top-quality content for Amazon Prime. In 2016, Prime Video expanded to another 200 countries, so it’s now a service that more viewers around the world can enjoy.

In 2017, Amazon began to start making acquisitions for sports content. They have the British television rights for the ATP World Tour and will enjoy showcasing 1000 events until 2021. On top of that, Amazon is the provider for the ATP Finals, Queens Club, and Eastbourne Tournaments. In 2018, they went on to secure the Premier League football match rights from 2019-20 for three years. This is the first time that a domestic live streaming service will show the games instead of just watching them on television. This deal has now been extended even further, and Amazon has secured the rights until 2024-25. As you can see, for sports fans, Amazon Prime Video is an amazing service that you’ll want to make sure your family has access to this year.

Other Benefits of Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime is a membership service that’s available for just £7.99 a month in the UK, and if you haven’t tried the service before, you’ll even enjoy a 30-day free trial. Right now, subscribers are excited about the upcoming Amazon Prime Day event. This annual event will take place on June 21st and 22nd, 2021, and offers shoppers the chance to enjoy up to 70% off their shopping during this time. On top of that, in the lead up to the event, there are many great deals on services that are part of Amazon Prime. You can keep your whole family entertained this month with additional Prime Video channels, Audible, and Amazon Kids+.

The main reason many individuals opt for an Amazon Prime membership is to enjoy free delivery. On many products, you can enjoy free one-day delivery from Amazon, meaning you can avoid the crowds and shop from the comfort of your own home this year. You’ll be able to use this service during Amazon Prime Day, so it’s a great time to consider purchasing a new Kindle e-reader or Amazon Echo for the summer months. There are many other great delivery perks, including selecting an Amazon Day, which makes it the ideal solution for anyone who enjoys shopping online.

Prime Video is one of our favourite features of Amazon Prime, and if you haven’t already started using it, make sure you take the time to check out their amazing selection of movies and TV shows. There’s enough content to keep your whole family entertained throughout the year, and new shows are regularly added to the line-up. As it’s included with your membership, it’s one of the best perks of this subscription, and you’ll be able to keep up to date with all of the great entertainment Amazon is providing for its subscribers.
