Amazon Prime video streaming expected to launch in Canada Dec. 1: Bell Media exec | Financial Post (http://business.financialpost.com/fp-tech-desk/amazon-prime-video-streaming-expected-to-launch-in-canada-dec-1-bell-media-exec?__lsa=5466-6a41)

As early as the end of this week apparently.

I'm a prime member but i don't know too much about Amazon's prime video service. I know prime membership in the US is infinitely better than Canada's.

Any users of this service?

Kind of related, but I have Amazon Prime in Canada and I am able to watch The Grand Tour and a couple more series by signing into the Amazon.com site with my Amazon.ca Prime account. For most shows and movies though, it just says they are not available in my area. I wonder if I VPN to the states if those will start working for me as well.

Kinda dumb it doesn't have chromecast support yet...hopefully it's coming soon

Anyone know if there is an app for it in PS4/PS3?

Note: The Prime free trial of 6 months for students does not include Prime Video.

Probably not a problem for most people, but the DRM restricts HD viewing if any of your components in the line are not HDCP compliant. In my case, my HTPC connected to the VGA port of my 720p TV is why I can't get HD. This is the first time I've encountered such a thing.
