Amazon Prime : Updates

A quick update to the previous Amazon Prime article I wrote. Since then a few things have happened. The first and foremost is of course the price is now $99/yr.

Amazon added Prime Photos where you have unlimited storage for your photos. This is stored on Amazon's Cloud Drive and you can access them from any of your devices, be it your phone, tablets or PCs.

The other new addition is Unlimited Music Streaming. It works the same way as Prime Instant Video and Premium Spotify. You have access to a huge library and is able to download tracks offline (although you can only do this on the Amazon Music App). If you know Prime Instant Video, Netflix and Spotify, yeah, that's how it works.

Lastly, Amazon also includes Prime Early Access to Lightning Deals. Now, this is a killer feature. For the first time, if you're a Prime Member, you can get a 30-minute early access advantage to selected lightning deals! This will usually decide if you actually get that popular deal or not, especially for the perennial popular items like external disk and SSDs.

Besides these, you still get the usual 2-day shipping with no minimum, Prime instant Video and Kindle Owners' Lending Library. This is starting to look even more attractive. If you're not too sure about forking out $99/yr yet, you can actually try it for free here - Join Amazon Prime - Listen to Over a Million Songs - Start Free Trial Now. Just remember to cancel it after your 30 days is up.

Or if you already have it and love it so much you might want to consider gifting it to your family members or a good friend - Shop Amazon - Give the Gift of Amazon Prime

Happy shopping and enjoy all the current Black Friday deals going on.
