Amazon Prime Video now available in South Africa – price, details

Nice promotional 6 months price that, think I'll give it a go @ roughly R40/pm
 
Prime Video can be watched through its app on Android and iOS, Fire Tablets, LG and Samsung Smart TVs, or online at PrimeVideo.com.

I see there's an XBox One app. I wonder if it's available for us South Africans.

Chromecast isn't officially supported but casting from the browser on your phone or laptop should work?

Definitely saw an Amazon app in the Roku directory the other day - will check it's the instant video one.

Edit: Confirmed by bwana.
 
I read that you need an Xbox Gold subscription if you want to watch it on the 360. Anyone tried this yet? Would like to know how their shows compare to Netflix SA.

I'll give the trial a go this weekend.
 
So this Amazon Prime Video is a Lite version like Netflix SA?
 
Hopefully MyBroadband will sign up today and post a list of shows and whether the XBox One app works in South Africa and so forth.

You will never be able to do this. No streaming service will give you that capability.
