Amazon Prime Video is finally available to Canadians.  Yes, I know that there have been work arounds, but for those who prefer to keep it legal you can now access Amazon’s original content plus additional shows and movies as part of your Amazon Prime membership.

While this isn’t enough to make most people pay for Prime if you don’t use it for the free shipping, it is a nice added bonus to help recoup some of the $79/year cost.  Plus one that US Prime members have enjoyed for some time .

The selection of shows is smaller than you will be used to if you previously accessed Amazon Prime Video on a US account.  Full details and accessto your Amazon Prime Video account can be found here.  You can sign up for a free trial of Amazon Prime through this link, which seems to be working even if you have previously used a prime trial.
