Amazon Prime Video is a streaming service that offers access to a large collection of movies and TV series. It offers content in multiple languages, and some even offer support in the language of the user's choice. So, what should you know about it?

Of the many concerts, Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is arguably the most, if not, one of the most sought-after events this year. Unfortunately, the tour never came to Malaysia but at least the concert film was shown in our local cinemas.

In case you missed it, Disney+ is finally arriving in Malaysia and it will be launched as Disney+ Hotstar here.

Price is one thing, but the movie and actual TV show content also matters to many Malaysians nowadays especially during this pandemic period.

We've seen anime series being adapted to movies, but these days creators are starting to look into adapting games. In March, it was announced that The Last of US was getting a TV series for HBO. Now, Amazon Studios has teased a Fallout TV series that will be heading to Amazon Prime Video.

A while back Netflix launched Netflix Party, which is a way we could watch shows virtually. Now, Twitch has something similar in Twitch Watch Parties.

Those of you who have subscriptions for online video content platforms like Netflix would have heard of Amazon Prime Video. The service was never available here in Malaysia before and few ever expected it to be. But Digi has put up a website confirming that the premium video content platform has come to our shores.
