AMAZON PRIME LAUNCHES IN AUSTRALIA
The long-awaited Amazon Prime has landed in Australia which means fast, free shipping for Aussie Amazon customers, among other perks. What we're more excited about though is the bundled Prime Video platform.
Amazon's Prime Video platform brings with it exclusive access to award-winning Prime Original productions, along with a host of popular movies and TV shows.
Titles include The Grand Tour, Golden Globe winner The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, Emmy winner The Man in the High Castle, American Gods, and Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan.
Prime Video can be accessed from mobile phones, tablets, select Smart TVs, game consoles and the Amazone Fire TV stick.
Rocco Braeuniger, Country Manager of Amazon Australia said:
We are thrilled to bring Prime, our premium membership program and its many benefits, to Australia, little more than six months after the launch of our Marketplace and Retail offering.
A healthy but growing library of 4K HDR content is already available for those who have the bandwidth - Amazon suggests a minimum of 15 megabits-per-second to stream Ultra HD. HD-Report maintains an index of 4K content.
The real deal here though is the pricing. Aside from the 30-day free trial on offer at the moment, Amazon Prime membership will set you back just $6.99 a month, or $59 a year. If you sign up before 31st January 2019, it's only $4.99 a month.
Don't forget Prime membership also offers you perks such as free, two-day delivery on Amazon AU purchases, along with free international delivery for purchases over $49.
You'll also get access to over 1,000 ebooks, comics, guides, kid's books and much more, games via Twitch Prime, and exclusive shopping deals. It's almost too good to be true for the asking price.
Jamil Ghani, Vice President of Prime International at Amazon said:
We are really proud to bring Australians the most extensive set of Prime benefits at launch for any country – ever. This is just the beginning for Prime in Australia, as we will keep making Prime better, adding even more selection and benefits.
Like us, you probably won't be able to resist this offer; Annual membership, done.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
