Amazon announced Wednesday it is expanding its on-demand video streaming service Prime Video to nearly every country and territory except China.

In other new regions, Prime Video customers will have to pay $2.99 or 2.99 euros per month for the first six months, after which the price will be doubled to $5.99 or 5.99 euros.
