Huge Catalog Added To Amazon Prime Instant Video

If you’re an Amazon Prime member then it’s time to start celebrating.  No longer are you left in the instant video catalog news or shivering in the shadows of Netflix.  Welcome.

Now, along with your $79 annual Amazon Prime membership fee, you will be enjoying almost double the number of titles available through the free instant video connection.  Yayuh.  You heard that right.

Here’s the scoop directly from Amazon:

Dear Customer,

I have big news for Amazon Prime members – we’ve just signed a deal with FOX to add a broad selection of movies and TV shows to our unlimited instant streaming service later this fall. The new additions from the FOX library include 24, Arrested Development, The X-Files, Ally McBeal, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and – available on digital video for the first time – The Wonder Years. We now have deals with CBS, NBCUniversal, Sony, and Warner Bros, and adding FOX will bring the total to more than 11,000 movies and TV shows available for unlimited instant streaming.

Since launching earlier this year, we have now doubled the number of titles available in Prime instant videos, and there’s still more to come. Prime membership remains $79 a year, and of course features our unlimited free two-day shipping on millions of products. Prime is one of the best values anywhere.

Prime instant videos can be played on more than 300 HDTVs, Blu-ray players, and set-top boxes.

Well, if receiving 2-day shipping on almost all your worldly desires wasn’t enough, this pretty much tops us over the edge.  What an awesome gift idea.  I may give someone the gift of Amazon Prime and then use their account to help me out with my video fix!
