| Amazon Prime Streaming Video Now On PS3 Posted by SW2SCLA Finally. Just a heads up everybody  on 4/9 at 6:46 am Reply • Back to Top |
| I watched the first few episodes of the BBC TV series of Robin Hood yesterday. They have some decent stuff on there. To me Prime Membership is a necessity and this streaming is basically free so it is a good deal. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: I agree. I had the Prime membership before I knew it came with free streaming content. It's just a bonus IMO. I've never even used it until I saw that it was added to the PS3 over the weekend Reply • Back to Top |
| Can anyone explain this BS to me? I wanted to see a particular old episode of Big Bang. So I downloaded the software. I activated my device etc. It tells me I am getting a free month, and then 79$/yr after that. Fine. Then, I go to watch the show and there is a damn PRICE on EVERYTHING! 3 bucks for a sitcom in HD (a necessity for me due to my large screen size)! Whole seasons of shows are like 20-40$ WTF am I paying the 79 for if I still have to pay piecemeal for every damn show? Friggin Time Warner Cable would be cheaper than this. Are they kidding?

| Some of the Prime stuff is not free. There is a lot of stuff there that is, though. I don't use services like this much at all, but I am a big Amazon buyer and I bought Prime for the shipping deals. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: $79 is for the whole Prime Membership, not just the streaming video content. If you order off of Amazon regularly it will pay for itself in the free 2-day shipping. Not all streaming content is free, but there is a lot of "Prime" content that is. The way I look at the non-free items is like this: It's good to catch an episode of a series you missed, but it's not cost-effective for viewing an entire series at $2 or $3 per episode. I doubt I'll ever watch the pay-for TV episodes. I may rent a movie from there occasionally, but I mainly get my movies in the mail from Netflix. This all still much cheaper than cable or satellite, so I'm not complaining. Reply • Back to Top |
| I did not detect this "free content" you speak of. Every single thing I clicked on had a price, but it was only a cursory look at the stuff on the front page. I will look more closely, but it seemed to me that everything I wanted to see was costing. Reply • Back to Top |
| All of the free content has the prime icon next to it. IIRC its all in a separate section than the pay content Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
