Want to buy the new Chromecast or the upcoming Apple TV? You won’t be able to get them from Amazon.
As first reported by Bloomberg, Amazon is planning on dropping streaming devices that don’t work with its Prime Video streaming service as of Oct. 29.
According to Bloomberg, Amazon sent an email to its marketplace sellers letting them know that no new listings for Apple TV or Chromecast products would be allowed and that existing listings would be removed as of Oct. 29.
In a statement, an Amazon spokesperson told Mashable, “Over the last three years, Prime Video has become an important part of Prime. It’s important that the streaming media players we sell interact well with Prime Video in order to avoid customer confusion. Roku, XBOX, PlayStation and Fire TV are excellent choices.”
