Even though Amazon is not a wholesaler like Sam's or Costco, but I won't mind getting movies at $35 per year. $79 is too much an yearly renewal for what appears to be just a guaranteed free delivery.
- philwelch 16y ago$79/yr is $6.60/mo, which is less than Netflix's streaming-only plan and includes free 2-day shipping on Amazon products.
- w1ntermute 16y agoPrime is great if you're going to use the free 2-day shipping feature, but Amazon streaming is horrible IIRC. It uses Flash, and I'm guessing doesn't have the selection Netflix does.
- jonknee 16y agoIt's not all bad. If you use Linux for example, their use of Flash allows you to use the service.
- bricestacey 16y agoAmazon has recent movies, though. For example, I watched District 9 through Amazon On Demand in Jan/Feb 2010. That's 5-6 months after it was released. Most Netflix Streaming titles are something you'd find on VHS in your mom's basement.
- thematt 16y agoDistrict 9 is available on Netflix as well.
- officemonkey 16y agoSince they're partnered with "Starz Play", Netflix gets a quite a few new pretty quickly. BTW, most Amazon streaming titles are something you'd find on VHS in your mom's basement. I just checked and the first movie they tempted me with was "Contact" from _1997_.
- true_religion 16y agoYep, they're even streaming TV shows as they come out like Spartacus.
