I purchased Amazon Prime today since I've been buying stuff online recently and was wondering what everyone's experience with it has been?

Free 2-Day shipping is pretty awesome. Haven't checked anything else out except the Kindle feature. Disappointed, only because it only works with Kindle devices. I figured it would be fine for my Kindle app. How's the streaming variety? I've got Netflix, so how does it stack up?
 
It's great for either free shipping or lower 2 day charge. The amazon prime tv is alright but it's just like netflix, it gets old real quick.
 
Better movies streaming on Prime than anywhere else. Hulu has more network TV shows. I don't see the point of Netflix given the previous two points.
 
it's great! I love it, been using for quite a while, I don't know if they still do but they provided a student discount

Heading back to Embassy Suites Riverwalk. You guys gotta get rid of all the drunk bums off the river. Kills my buzz.

Prime products have free 2-day shipping, right? I mean, I bought a few things today and all of them had free 2 day shipping.

I didn't know you got a discount on product though.

I've been thinking about ditching Netflix for a while, and this seems to be the cure.

Would be nice if I was a student, haha. Just bought the year straight up. I figure for 100 bucks, I'll save it all on shipping anyway. Everything else is just a perk.
 
I absolutely love it. They just added season 5 of Archer this past week fyi. Not to mention that you can get TONS of books for free.

Your first mistake is being at the riverwalk

but it use to be worse growing up, it's not too bad now, you should actually be thankful

anyways prime is good, I use it a lot so it has definitely benefited me

Ok. I'm kinda high right now and my memory is shot but i'll stand by my statements.

I independently confirm this by thinking about it.

The book thing is only for Kindle devices. It doesn't work for the app on my phone.
 
It is literally the only bill I pay that I don't feel like I'm getting ripped off.

Oh. Well that blows. Get the kindle. I'm typing this post out on mine. Best investment ever.
 
the things u can watch on amazon prime instant video do not compare to netflix what so ever, but there are some things on there that arent bad, typically older stuff.

Really, all you need to do is make a new email every month to get amazon prime for free though.

and if u have a .edu email u get 6 months free.

As far as I know, if you have .edu email address, you qualify for the first 6 months free, then at a discount afterwards ($49). However, I think that the streaming services are not included. Just the 2 day free shipping.
 
I have it and love it. Paid like 50 bucks for a year.
 
I love Amazon Prime. I'm a huge Amazon junkie. I have Prime, a Kindle, and even the Amazon phone (which despite it's failure to the company..is a fabulous phone)

I picked it up years ago due to it being free 6 months for students, then half price after that. So I paid $40 a year for 4 years and because I bought the Amazon Phone on Black Friday I got a free year of Prime with it. $160 over 5 years for a Netflix equivalent, free 2 shipping (which I use a lot) and free books is a GREAT deal.

Because I have all the Amazon products, for cost effectiveness it doesn't make sense to have Netflix with it. My parents do though, so when I want Netflix I just use their account anyway.

Pretty much the cats meow IMO. I just rewatched Oz from start to finish on my Xbone.

Nope, everything is included. I had it for 4 years. It's just a straight up half-off deal for students.
