This is the moment we've all been waiting for, folks.

Amazon Prime launches in Australia today. Yep, proper Amazon Prime - the one that gets you fast, free delivery and a bunch of other benefits. Prime is already available for Amazon customers around the world, but the real question is - what will we get in Australia, and how much is it going to cost us? Well, Amazon says Prime members in Australia "will have access to the widest selection of Prime benefits at launch for any country ever".

Here's what they are.

It was the move we all dreaded was coming: Australian shoppers will no longer be able to shop on Amazon's US site as the company shifts focus to its local offering. You have one more month to make your final overseas purchases.

Here at Lifehacker HQ, we've been pretty hard on Amazon Australia during its first six months in business. We've slammed them and we've studied them. We've complained and we've applauded. Truly, they're coming good and prices are lining up with what many had expected pre-launch.

One category where they're really beginning to dominate is video games.

Could we finally be getting the huge Amazon Australia discounts that we hoped and dreamed about when the service launched in early December? It seems that on Boxing Day, that may be the case with Amazon offering up deals across fashion, books, movies, music, toys, video games, electronics, e-readers and more.

Amazon finally started selling on its Australian site this morning in what turned out to be a rather underwhelming launch. Australians expected a new world of online shopping at its fingertips, and all we got was the same old stuff often at the same price or even more expensive than existing Aussie stores. Here are some of the best reactions to Amazon Australia's launch.

The wait is over. After a bunch of false starts and rumoured technical hiccups, the Amazon Australia website is finally open for business. You can buy computers, gadgets, toys, video games and other goodies from Amazon Australia right now.

The impending launch of Amazon Australia was widely tipped to happen today. This would have seen it coincide with the Black Friday shopping frenzy to maximise hype and sales.

Despite a brief appearance in the early morning, there's still no sign of Amazon's revamped storefront. At this stage, it seems extremely unlikely that we'll see it reappear this week. Here's what you need to know.

We've speculated, analysed and wondered just when Amazon Australia was going to launch. Now we have a clear indication from the online shopping giant itself, courtesy of an email that went out to Amazon Marketplace sellers.
