I know this is just for the US but just to clarify. The Prime Video included in your Prime subscription is only available in a few countries (US, DE, GB,...) all other countries have primevideo.com which is a stand-alone video only subscription.
- codedinosaur 7y agoI'm in India and we use primevideo.com. It does come as part of the Amazon Prime subscription.
- mrweasel 7y agoThat may be because Amazon Prime doesn't make sense in some countries. Example: Free two day delivery doesn't make sense if you can expect free/cheap next-day delivery from local webshops. Other Amazon Prime benefits requires that Amazon have a local presence in your country or area, so it makes sense that it's limited to countries where Amazon at least have distribution centers.
- dewey 7y agoIt also makes sense because primevideo.com looks like it was built from scratch and isn’t integrated in the “normal” Amazon.tld that’s not available in a lot of countries. It was very buggy in the beginning and incrementally got improved, they probably couldn’t move that fast if it was integrated into the main site too.
- CamelCaseName 7y agoJust to add to your comment, Amazon Prime also doesn't make sense in countries with a fairly poor Amazon presence / high shipping costs. E.g. Canada.
- stanmancan 7y agoI'm in Canada (lower mainland) and have Prime. The free same/next day shipping makes it worth it for us. We don't order a ton, but probably 15-20 times per year is enough to justify it.
