I am planning to get the subscription. Rs 499 for a year is highly good price. Comes to around Rs 41 a month.
But I have started the 30 day trial first. I hope the Rs 499 offer remains till one month, until free subscription ends. I always thought how a steam like model can be implemented for video industry, and how I would support it if the price is justified. Amazon's Prime video seems like a good direction to go into.
Yes, some content is censored, but I can easily check the length of the video on imdb, before deciding to add it to my watchlist. So far content wise its a bit dissapointing, still I shortlisted various good things on my watchlist. I certainly hope new content will be added, and also browsing of content would be a bit better in future.
I tried to analyze the content provided under Amazon's Prime Video. Here's some of my opinion. (Following write up is based on the fact that I am only aware of popular American/English shows like Arrow, Flash, Big Bang Theory, Sherlock, Quantico, Mr Robot and so on. So needless to say I was looking for these shows under Amazon's Prime service so that I can stop getting them from *unmentionable* sources. Also keep in mind the genre I like to watch, which will heavily influence my opinion on the content provided by Amazon: Sci Fi, Action, Thriller, Cyberpunk, Fantasy. I dislike Horror and (only) Drama shows in general.
Amazon Original Series:
This section contains few shows that I never heard. Some shows which I added under watchlist are following:

The Man in the High Castle (Drama, Sci-Fi, Thriller):
The review by [MENTION=6966]sam9s[/MENTION] here, have made me plunge for this one. Will watch this soon.
I didn't anymore from amazon original list for my taste. But worthy mentions in Amazon Original series include, The Grand Tour, Hand of God and Bosch.
TV Shows:
There are many TV shows on Amazon, thought I couldn't find popular shows like Flash, Arrow or Legends of Tomorrow. But I found these good ones:
Extant (Drama, Sci-Fi, Thriller): a mystery thriller about a female astronaut trying to reconnect with her family when she returns after a year in outer space. Her experiences lead to events that ultimately will change the course of human history.
The World's War (Documentary, History): British historian David Olusoga, along with other historians, narrates the story of millions of Indian, African and Asian troops who fought and died alongside French and British troops to help win the war against Germany, Austro-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire.

Cause, Cats!.
People of Earth (Comedy): In this half-hour comedy about a support group for alien abductees, a skeptical journalist investigates their supposed alien encounters.

Mr. Robot (Crime, Drama, Thriller): Follows Elliot, a young programmer working as a cyber-security engineer by day, and a vigilante hacker by night.
I guess Cyberpunk isn't a genre anymore, but I was pleasantly surprised to have this show on Amazon prime. Although I am sure there will be censorship in this.

Constantine (Drama, Fantasy, Horror): Seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine is armed with a ferocious knowledge of the dark arts and a wicked wit.

Ah, you already know, why I added this show.
Elementary (Crime, Drama, Mystery): A modern take on the cases of Sherlock Holmes, with the detective now living in New York City.
