So, I did it. Opinions needed
August 14, 2016 at 9:41 pm
I signed up for Amazon Prime. Seems to work with my smart TV but the shows I like aren't included like I thought they would be.
I like the free two day shipping on my orders.
Anyone familiar with this? Can you tell me what you like and don't like about it?

I think it is an excellent service if you're planning on ordering from Amazon quite a lot. But like yourself, I was really disappointed with their selection of shows. It's nowhere near as good as Netflix.

I ordered some stuff for the furkids tonight. I'll get it in two days
Watching Vikings. We saw the first two seasons through Hulu Plus, but we haven't used them since we moved. We had Netflix for a while, but we were going way over our bandwidth usage each month with our ISP due to binge watching. So, maybe not having access to all our favorite shows is a good thing? I dunno. We'll keep the AP and probably pick Netflix back up after I graduate and get a job. Still, the two together are far less expensive than cable. Any savings is good savings, right?

I've got Amazon Prime but rarely use it. The free two day shipping is really handy. Don't they have a thirty day money back guarantee? I thought they did.

I'm currently enjoying a 30 day free trial, that I can cancel at any time.

Netflix is alright in my opinion, but our version isn't as good as yours. We have quite a limited choice of shows and movies. It's probably worth it for you but I mainly just torrent all my stuff.

I use Prime because just about everything I buy comes from Amazon. The movies/shows are a nice bonus, but that's not why I have it

I tried Prime and found they wanted me to pay a premium per episode for shows already included in my Netflix subscription. I don't order enough stuff from Amazon to justify the expense so fuck 'em. Unless they offer a comparable service to Netflix, they'll not get my money.

I've actually seen some stuff on Amazon that I'd like to buy for my pending career. Lots of professional gadgets and things I'd love to have.
