Although the announcement has been made today and you can sign-up for Amazon Prime now, the actual switch over will not take place for users until February 26th 2014. Once enabled users will have access to shows such as The Walking Dead, and Vikings Season 2 and movies such as The Hangover Part II, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and others.
