Netflix streaming + 1 DVD at a time = 191.76 per year.
Amazon Prime (streaming + "rentable" DVDs + free 2-day shipping on all Amazon purchases) = 79.00 per year.
Anybody using Amazon Prime for movies? Is it worth the price?
The Mad American Wrote:I started looking very seriously at that when I got the Netflix email yesterday. I have no personal experience with the Amazon service but the one complaint from users that I kept running into was that they don't have a very good selection for streaming. How true that is I don't know, but I was the complaint enough that it makes me wonder.
webby Wrote:I have heard that too, now that you mention it. But maybe it will get better soon, as this is still a relatively new service for Amazon.
On the other hand, I find that Netflix doesn't have many new release movies for streaming either. That's the main reason I kept the 1 DVD at a time as part of my plan.

The Mad American Wrote:Exactly the same reason I did as well. The streaming selection at Netflix improved but they rarely had the new releases, so I kept the 1 DVD for that. There is no way I will continue the 1 DVD part though. And I am actively looking for other options.
