Maybe it's because I'm currently using the trial?

That's the problem. It says this for me: "Your Prime free trial doesnt include Prime Video. To upgrade to a paid membership, please contact Amazon Customer Service."
Oof, not much of a selection on there. Though I might just be spoiled by Netflix.
GUYS! We finally got our Amazon Prime Video! There's no extra cost on it if you are a Prime member!

For those who got a Prime, can you guys check the video content?

Yeah it appeared to be mostly old movies. I saw the mummy franchise, fast and the furious movies, american pie movies and some other older ones. Unless you really want to watch the Grand Tour and some other Amazon series it doesn't seem like there is much there.
All of those are specifically Universal movies. Maybe they're the only studio that signed worldwide deals so far, since it's across 200 countries.

I'm confused about how this works.

When I click on the link (or banner on .ca), it takes me to Amazon.com. There doesn't seem to be any way for me to filter the movies that are available in my region, and what's more, I have no way of logging into my Canadian account that has Prime.
Edit: Oh, I had to change my location settings for Prime Video. It works now! Hopefully they're working on picking up some of the licenses that Shomi dropped. I need AYAOTD on-demand.

Works for me on student!
Yeah just click on the signin and login with your email and password.
It will still be amazon.com but still works fine.

Tried the Grand tour on my LG TV, seems like the stream quality can only go up to 1080p, unless there is hidden option to enable 4k/hdr. Can anyone confirm this?
There's an Amazon prime video on webOs? I can't seem to find it.

So I'm shopping for a budget graphics card to replace my struggling GTX 560Ti and this one is piquing my interest.

That price seems too good to be true since all the newer budget Nvidia cards hover around $200 each. All I want is to run modern PC games adequately on a 1080p resolution.
I'm also holding out for crazy boxing day deals too but I'm not sure if these kinds of stores even have boxing day sales.

They added it to LG content store this morning.

iOS has it up now as well. Hope it will be on my Sony Android TV when I get home. Curious to see if 4k/hdr works on mine.
Oh, you're fast. I just had an email about it this morning. I'm glad they added it.

It would piss off a lot of people but it would move a lot more Switches.
If true, I will cancel Nintendo from my life.

Anybody knows where can I buy an 8Bitdo SFC30 in Canada? Amazon.ca only has the SNES30. (another guys is selling one on amazon for way to much + shipping)
Best buy only carries the SNES30.
Thanks
Best buy only carries the SNES30.

Nah, it's pretty bad. Hopefully it's just early days and not an afterthought.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Theres no way theyd do that after hyping it up for what, 3 years?

Someone needs to give Nintendo a nudge, I still can't re-download the app on Wii U. Is there an Amazon video app for PS3?
And it being legit playable at multiple shows.
Yes but Amazon doesn't seem to have made its apps available to the Canadian storefronts of any platform so far.
I assume that's coming soon...
That would be quite the dick move.
If I were Nintendo I'd put it on WiiU even if it made me lose money.

Like I said, it's available on iOS.
Just downloaded it and it let me log in just fine. I assume everything is getting rolled out.
It's probably going to end up being rare like the Gamecube version.
The RX460 is a bad buy, it's barely better than the 370 which is effectively a 7850 (4+ year old card). If you can afford it, absolutely jump up a tier and grab the 4GB RX470. The performance gain is well worth the increase in cost and maybe something will pop up for Boxing Day (and if it holds until then, you'll get Hitman free with the gpu too).

Something like this?

EDIT: That might be the best price I can get a RX 470 so I'm not sure if I should wait until boxing day.
Yeah, something like that. It's up to you if you want to wait. Looking at rfd around Black Friday week, a couple of RX470 models (Asus/XFX) went to around $200-210 after MIR. No guarantees that it will happen again but current prices aren't too special either.

Wow. I'll keep my eyes on this card next week.

It would look strange in retail stores if a single Wii U game took up space next to the Switch shelf. Maybe they'll do digital only.
It's more than I had a month ago haha. Anything that comes closer to justifying the price of Canadian Prime.

And Universal/Amazon didn't even bring over Frost/Nixon from Shomi
. The entire selection is really weird, maybe only 5-10 movies I'd say are great and worth watching and then a whole lot of mediocrity.Twilight Princess was the absolute last first party Gamecube game so I assume this has happened already.
Lost Odyssey / Blue Dragon are available digitally. Lost Odyssey is free until Dec 31

Once you download it, can you keep it and play it past Dec 31?
My understanding is that, yes, once you "purchase" it for free, it's yours, can play it for however long you want
