I was wondering if Amazon's poorly implemented interface on Roku was intentional. Now that you comment how much better it is on Fire TV, it seems that might be the case.
This strikes me as a poor decision, as Fire TV is akin to the "razor" with Amazon Prime memberships being the "blades" that should bring in the recurring revenue.
- bigtunacan 12y agoI haven't seen the Roku interface, but rather I use Netflix and Amazon both from my PS4. If a show/movie is available on Netflix I always go there first. Way better experience right now. I've been a long time subscriber to Netflix however, from back when it was DVDs only, and their service used to be pretty terrible. Amazon is behind right now, but they will iterate and improve. I really believe that Amazon in the long run will come out ahead of Netflix, but I'm not sure if that is a good thing. Amazon is becoming such a huge monopoly in so many ways that I don't see this as turning out well for consumers in the long run.
- thrownaway2424 12y agoWhat's bad about it on Roku? All I do is find what I want to watch (on IMDB usually), add it to my watchlist, and then navigate to the watchlist in the Roku Amazon app. Seems pretty damn easy. The only thing they could improve, in my opinion, would be to allow me to start playback on the Roku from their website.
