Amazon is expanding its Prime Instant Video service to include MGM titles. The licensing agreement will see “hundreds of classic movies and TV shows added to its Prime Instant Video catalog throughout 2012,” reports The Next Web.
The Prime Instant Video service is available to customers who pay for Amazon’s Prime two-day shipping service. The service allows users to watch streaming content on the Kindle Fire, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and more.
“Amazon is really beginning to ramp up its media offering, having inked a deal with Paramount last month,” explains TNW. “Throw into the equation its Amazon Studios division, which seeks to develop fresh content based on user submissions (such as ‘Zombies vs. Gladiators’), the Internet giant is really beginning to cement itself in the VOD space and is a genuine rival to services such as Netflix.”
The post also notes that Google signed a deal with MGM earlier in the year, “which saw more than 600 titles added to YouTube and Google Play.”
