Amazon Prime Video Launches Globally For Xbox Owners

If you’re looking for your console to do more than just play video games, you’re not alone as it seems that this is the direction that many companies are taking their consoles towards these days. In fact you’ll be pleased to learn that Microsoft has recently announced (via TechCrunch) that Amazon Prime Video will now be globally available for Xbox One owners (and Xbox One X owners as well upon the console’s launch).

What this means is that if you’re an Amazon Prime member, you will be able to access Prime Video content on your Xbox One console. If you’re not a Prime member, then perhaps this could be another reason for you to sign up for it. It will allow users to watch all kinds of Prime Video content, including Amazon Originals.

There is also some good news for those living in Australia and New Zealand. According to Microsoft, to celebrate the launch of Prime Video on the Xbox One, residents of those two countries will be able to enjoy a discounted rate of $2.99 a month to subscribe to Prime Video for the first 6-months, after which it will jump to $5.99.

In the meantime the Apple TV is expected to get access to Amazon Prime Video as well, but last we heard the launch of the app has since been delayed.

Some Apple Watch Series 3 Devices Are Showing Stripes On Its Display

If you have recently bought or are planning to buy the Apple Watch Series 3, it seems that Apple has recently identified a problem with the display that appears to be affecting some units. In a report from 9to5Mac, it appears that some Apple Watch Series 3 owners are seeing weird stripes show up along the side of the watch’s display.

The report also claims that Apple has since notified its retail and authorized third-party repair staff about the problem that seems to affect the Apple Watch Series 3 GPS models. It also does not mention the cellular version, so it is possible that this could be a WiFi-only model problem due to the different configuration of the components within the watch itself, but we suppose we’ll have to wait and see if there are any reports that surface following this.

It is unclear as to what could have caused the issue, but Apple has suggested that customers attempt to rub their finger along the display of the watch to allowing smearing to appear to help the stripes be identified easily. Alternatively they can just breathe on the display edge to help achieve the same effect. If you’re wondering if your Apple Watch has been affected, these tests should help identify that problem.

Right now Apple isn’t performing repairs but is apparently offering complete replacements, so if you do have such a problem then replacing it should not be an issue.
