"And Chromecast Ultra users get access to 4,000 titles included with Prime at no additional cost." I think they meant "Ultra users get access to 4K titles included with Prime at no additional cost". ;)

Funny when you can get this narrow window into the team members writing vs. the ones editing!

What is exactly extra for Ultra?

  Chromecast Ultra has 4K output and the regular Chromecast doesn't. I don't think the Ultra gets access to any more content but presumably it gets the 4K version instead of the HD version. Personally I am disappointed that almost nothing on Prime Video is 4K anyway.

    Seems like most of their 4K selection are titles from Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/s?k=uhd&i=instant-video https://smile.amazon.com/s?k=uhd&i=instant-video

Actually, I'm not sure that's the case. An article about the move states "On the Google side, both its own Chromecast devices, as well as partner TVs and hardware that support Chromecast built-in, or that run Android TV, will gain support broadly for Prime Video. Plus, any Chromecast Ultra owners will also get access to Prime Video’s 4,000-title library normally reserved for Prime members, at no additional cost, as part of the new tie-up between the two companies." It is possible that this is just propagating that though.

  Under "Prime Video : Movies : Prime Eligible" there are 60,000 results[1]. This article says Amazon Prime has 12,000 movies[2].

    Maybe they are both right, and it is 4,000 4K titles
