<div dir="ltr">Also,<div><br></div><div>I know there has been a lot of focus on Netflix here, but they aren't the only massive player. I also subscribe to Amazon Prime / Amazon Instant Video (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Instant-Video/b?node=2858778011">http://www.amazon.com/Instant-Video/b?node=2858778011</a>) - which has a lot of awesome content on it, especially originals which not many people might have heard of in Australia (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1001155581">https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1001155581</a>). Amazon also just won the rights to the back catalogue of the TV series 24 which will do well since the new series is being made. Amazon also have their Amazon Fire TV media player/console in the US (<a href="http://techcrunch.com/video/hands-on-with-amazon-fire-tv/518181751/">http://techcrunch.com/video/hands-on-with-amazon-fire-tv/518181751/</a>)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Amazon Originals I like.:</div><div><br></div><div>Alpha House (Like Veep)</div><div>Betas (better than Silicon Valley)</div><div>The After</div><div>Bosch</div><div><br></div><div>are some I've enjoyed so far.... and they are creating a lot more - a lot more.</div>
<div><br>That said, Microsoft is creating content (<a href="http://news.xbox.com/2014/04/ent-xbox-originals-unveil">http://news.xbox.com/2014/04/ent-xbox-originals-unveil</a>) including a Halo TV show and movie. I think they will be a big content player soon. Be interesting to see how that gets to us.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Yahoo have also announced two original TV series. (<a href="http://www.theverge.com/2014/4/28/5662724/yahoo-announces-its-first-two-original-series-coming-in-2015">http://www.theverge.com/2014/4/28/5662724/yahoo-announces-its-first-two-original-series-coming-in-2015</a>) </div>
<div><br></div><div>I am sure others will also be getting into the content game... seems like a good time to be an actor or in production... I wonder when some Australian original online content will come out.</div><div>
<br>
</div><div>That all said... was mainly to remind people that Netflix is one, but Amazon could be here soon as well I guess - MMC? :)</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr">

<div><br></div><div>The article states that without even being in Australia and having active Geoblocking in place, Netflix is still number 2 in on demand... so what will happen to the other players when they officially launch... I think this is a juggernaut that is going to make a big explosion when it hits. Also expect to see a range of new media player/devices hitting the local market like the Roku 3.</div>
