Amazon Prime Instant Video's Getting Time Warner Shows, Some Exclusively

Netflix may still be the go-to service when it comes to streaming video, but Amazon's doing all it can to make its Prime Instant Video an attractive deal for $80 a year. Today, Amazon announced that it has signed a deal with Warner Brothers to bring its shows to Prime, including an exclusive deal for Fringe and The West Wing.

Netflix doesn't stream either of those shows, but Hulu lets its users watch the last five episodes of Fringe for free online. Seeing as how Amazon's Time Warner deal announcement touts that  Fringe is going to be a Prime and Kindle Fire exclusive, expect that Hulu availability to go the way of the Dodo sometime soon.

Dark Blue, Alcatraz and The Whole Truth are among the other Time Warner shows coming to Prime Instant Video, but since I've never watched or even heard of any of those shows, I can't talk too much about them. The Time Warner deal brings Prime Instant Video's total of on-demand titles to over 18,000, with many of them also being available on either Hulu or Netflix.
