A rumor is circulating that Amazon will soon be launching a Netflix movie/tv streaming service. The rumor goes on to say that the service will launch free for Amazon's Prime subscribers. Currently, Prime subscribers pay $79/year for a few reduced/free shipping options. Adding a streaming service to their subscription will definitely help boost the value.
The selection will have "unlimited, commercial-free, instant streaming of 5,000 movies and TV shows" with selections that mirror the Watch Instantly catalog closely. Resolution is apparently limited to a "pretty solid" 480p SD, but there's no word on audio or subtitle options.
Also helping to fuel the rumor, the domain primeinstantvideos.com has been registered by Amazon's DPReview.
