Amazon launches its 'low cost' video service in Spain

With less content than proposals such as Netflix or HBO, Jeff Bezos' platform opts for reduced prices: one month subscription costs 2.99 euros

  Without making hardly any noise. This is how Amazon Prime Video has landed in Spain. For two days users of our country can access the audiovisual content platform that has been launched by the company of Jeff Bezos to compete with similar services such as Netflix, Wuaki.tv or HBO.

Aware that the number of contents is significantly lower than that of its competitors, the electronic store has opted to lower subscription prices. The service, with HD content, costs 2.99 euros per month, compared to 7.99 for the cheapest subscription to Netflix and 9.99 that must be paid to enjoy the movies and series in high definition. In this sense, paying for a year has a price of 19.95 euros. In fact, the amount matches the cost of the fast delivery service and no shipping costs of the store, called Amazon Premium. And is that customers of this service can enjoy free streaming platform.

  At the moment, the contents that stand out most in the service are those that Amazon itself, as Netflix already does, has begun to produce. 'Mozart in the Jungle', 'Transparent', 'Bosch', 'Red Oaks', 'Hand of God' or 'The Grand Tour' are some of the titles that are already on the platform. Surely others will come as 'Crisis in six scenes', the series that Woody Allen has shot with Miley Cyrus and has already premiered in the service in the United States.
