Amazon on Tuesday announced free movie streaming for Amazon Prime members, who currently pay $79 a year for unlimited free two-day shipping.
Starting today, Prime members can instantly stream for free around 5,000 of the 90,000 movies and TV shows already available for a fee on Amazon Instant Video.
The Prime-eligible selection is rather limited, however. The newest movie releases are "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" and "Feed the Fish," which normally cost $3.99 to rent for 48 hours on Amazon Instant Video. Eligible TV shows include MTV's "Skins," "Doctor Who," and "Top Gear," which normally cost $0.99 to buy. But you'll still pay non-membership prices for access to more popular shows like "Glee" and "Gossip Girl."
