Not many info or discussion i found about this streaming platform here especially about the content, region, pricing, vpn, apps, video quality and etc.

At first I had doubt. Prime Video content thumbnail does not look interesting and not many people talk about the content on this platform. So i decided to give a shot by free trial several episode The Boys, Jack Ryan, Le Mans, 7500, and many more.

Now i continue with subscribing. Have you tried ? Any suggestion what should i watch next ?

Already tried many years back. Very little content at that time, so eventually unsubscribed coz not worth it at all unless want to watch Clarkson only.
Is the library size and quality comparable to Netflix now?

I sometimes subscribe back if got TV series I want to see. Once finished I unsubscribe.

Reason the title is way too little for local version.

I don't want paid extra for VPN to US. Waste money and troublesome.

For local version, it is still same tiny catalog. I think not even 10% of Netflix.

That's very disappointing. They have a huge library in the US but very little in Malaysia. They should go back to charging USD2.99 per month.

Those huge library including the option to rent movie / series if i'm not mistaken. Yeah i think it should be half the price when it comes to Malaysia or maybe not more than 5 usd.

I agree that prime's video quality is better compared to Netflix even last time.
The 4k HDR of the Grand Tour was simply amazing! I'm quite disappointed that their library is still so small in Malaysia. Netflix library in Malaysia is already so small compared to other markets, Amazon even much smaller sad.gif
Not worth it at all to pay USD6 for the same small content.

Ya, if they reduce back the price I may keep it, for now not worth to keep as too little choices to choose from.

I'm more to Amazon Original series. Cant comment much since I just stream Prime Video for 3 weeks but it looks promising for my taste. Different style and different pace from original Netflix in my opinion.

Last night I tried using Prime Video app on my mibox 3. However after login, I notice there is no Profile switching like in the phone app confused.gif .

When I looked for solution, many mibox s users also reported the same issue over the internet. If the account is shared with 3 users and all users watching on TV, they all end up watching in same profile.

At the moment, the only way to watch without disturbing other profile is to just chromecast it to the tv or watching it thru the phone.

My app only update thru play store. I just tried your method, go back until close notification pop up and reopen the app. Still straight to library, no profile menu showing.

On phone and windows 10 app both no problem switching profile. It's just on my mibox 3 cannot view / switch the profile. Hope they fix this bug in next version. Not a big issue on my side because still can watch.
