Amazon.com has struck a deal with NBCUniversal to add part of Universal Pictures’ film library to its streaming video service, ratcheting up Amazon’s challenge to Netflix, reports The New York Times.
Amazon wants to build a library of video for a tablet computer that it’s developing, the story notes. With the deal, Amazon will gain nonexclusive access to movies such as "Babe" and "Billy Elliott.”
The deal comes after Amazon last week announced a similar deal with CBS, giving it older shows such as "Medium," the story says. The content is available through Amazon Prime, its $79-per-year membership that also provides free two-day shipping to members.
People around me are all talking about game of thrones these days. I am so happy because I am a huge fan of the show. I am a fan of George R. R. Martin, but could not expect HBO did it so great and turns it into such a wonderful show. I recommend this show to everybody. People will not be disappointed. Trust me.
