May Day 10 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 100% Amazon Prime is the greatest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 There is. We did a good amount of research when we got Roku. We settled with Netflix. Amazon Prime was ok and we probably would have kept it if we bought a lot from them but we don't. So it came down to Hulu and Netflix. Content was very similar but the navigation for Netflix was better I dont' know what your shopping habits are like, but I get so much value from the Prime membership just in terms of items I buy from Amazon that the rental service is just like a bonus. I buy everything from deodorant and dog food, to CDs and underwear off Amazon...the member reviews on items are typically very helpful, so when I find what I need I just click a button and it shows up at my apartment two days later. Free 2-day shipping is incredibly valuable to me, and I place anywhere from 5-10 Amazon orders a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 same here. I buy many non-perishables, dog food, Christmas Shopping, electronics, you name it. It makes it very easy to read reviews and price shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like buying things online especially clothes. I've gotten some suits and ties online that when I got them I thought WTF?!?! And I like to get off youtube, put on pants and get out of the house every so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, if people were outing YOUR late night underwear trips to walmart, you'd try to divert it back on track, too! I still don't how that pic leaked...

/dev/null Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Totally worth it. Even if you go stretches without using it, one day you'll just be bored and decide to start watching something. Or somebody will mention an episode of Babylon 5 and next thing you know you're into the 2nd or 3rd season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I think it's $8/month and I think it's worth it if you're going to catch up on an entire series. I have it, but it's solely for my son's use. It's a good service and it can be used on multiple devices; just not simultaneously. What's your son watching? Not knowing his age I didn't want to guess anything inappropriate like SpongeBob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
