Kane99 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) If you guys aren't aware, Amazon has their own game streaming service similar to Google Stadia and others. Right now they're accepting invites to their beta. I got into it, and so did a few friends of mine, and we each got in there pretty fast. You can sign up here - https://www.amazon.com/luna/landing-page I haven't accepted access just yet. I hear they charge you $6 after you sign up. Because they put you on their trial period. You also don't need to buy their controller, as any bluetooth controller or Xbox controller will do. But I am tempted to buy that controller, it's sexy! 🙂 Edited February 17, 2021 by Kane99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 What games do they have available? Also, how is their service any better than the Google Stadia and I use the Stadia as the barely passable standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Shows me pending notice. I guess I have to wait. Maybe some lucky ones have got in. Think of Luna as alternative to the stadia only difference is amazon is generous compared to google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're also more realistic in their approach because they know that Xbox and Sony game pass streaming services will have more fanfare so they're being a bit more relaxed in their approach. I always knew the Google Stadia was going to be a massive flop and we all knew Google could never deliver most of what they promised. As a matter of fact, they hardly delivered anything of note.

Not much at the moment, but once you sign up, you're given access to all the games they have to play. But, I believe it reverts to a monthly fee once you are officially signed up. As for if it's better, I can't say, I haven't tried either yet. I still need accept my early access request yet. Don't feel like doing it in case my ISP caps me if I play too much, so I've been paranoid about that. On 2/27/2021 at 1:59 PM, skyfire said: Shows me pending notice. I guess I have to wait.

I think if you have a history on Amazon, they will accept you a lot faster, but I could be wrong on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Yes that seems to be the case. plus their database must be accepting the influencers and streamers first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll stick to the Xbox gamepass for now but I'll keep an eye out to see how this turns out. I just hope they don't go down the same road as Google and promise many things but hardly delivering on any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Seems that it's not ready for my location as of yet and on the plus side that I seen games from amazon on the steam store. I mean there is not games they I want anyway to play LOL - amazon making money hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I have not got the invite. I can't change the location using VPN because for that account I do the shopping. I think that is one reason I have to wait genuinely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same issue here but I didn't quite care as I still have so many other stores to get my games so I'm not really bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I think the amazon Luna if acquires better titles and the streamers then they are going to take off real soon and that would be something interesting to see in comparison wtih the stadia.

As long as they don't make any outlandish promises and deliver on most of what they promise, they'll easily do better than the Google Stadia. To top it all off, if their prices are a bit more reasonable, that'll sink the Stadia platform even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 So far the YouTube videos are praising this new platform and as it comes I think there are some really good plans for the gamers. Lets look at where things go in 2022 as we move ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
