The most interesting bit is the way they even go and tell you in bold exactly how much all of the competing options cost.
My reaction: "Wait, I can get free TV episodes and free shipping with Amazon Prime for $79 a year?"
Not that I'd give up Netflix, mind you. Though I have recently downscaled from three to two discs at a time since I figured out I was watching far more streaming stuff than disc-borne stuff.
- rsingel 15y agoI'm already a Prime customer -- and a Netflix subscriber. Amazon's "free" category for Prime movies is thin - very thin. And I'm afraid Netflix warped my brain with subscription fee -- it seems exorbitant now to pay $3.00 to watch a single streaming movie. So personally, I don't find the promise of a few free shows, designed to lure me into paying a la carte for the premium ones, very compelling.
- esrauch 15y agoAmazon primes selection seems so bad that its more of a nice bonus to people that want to subscribe to Prime anyway rather than a standalone Netflix/Hulu competitor.
- r00fus 15y agoNetflix asking their (dissatisfied) customer to try out Amazon Prime is actually a great idea for Netflix. Prime's selection is quite small compared to Netflix's and Netflix can likely easily stay ahead of Amazon.
