If they satisfy different areas of instant play, what is the best?

Currently have Netflix and Amazon Prime.

all I know is I think its total bullshite that with Hulu you still have to deal with commercials regardless of if you are using the free or paid version.

For content alone, Netflix is the winner. Prime isn't far behind and they have the free shipping. At some point Prime will have an original content hit.

I would stay away from hulu plus. Not much content and most of the shows can be viewed for free from each network site.

Kinda like commercial free radio: Sirius/XM having a bunch of commercials now.

I was pissed that Netflix dropped the Stargate series, until I found out that AP has all of both SG1 and SA seasons on instant play.

Amazon and Netflix together pretty much satisfies all my viewing needs.

The best part about Hulu Plus used to be their massive Criterion Collection. So many incredible films. I haven't been a subscriber in awhile though so I'm not sure anymore.

what channels are you talking about?

i dont really recall any on the music stations I listen to other than the occasional Dj dropping in to talk about upcoming things like when bands come to play little live sets and such.

the talk radio channels do it sure but those are all simulcasts from terrestrial radio so it can't really be avoided.

That alone will make me never pay for that shite. so much crap. hey pay us but you still get adds.



Netflix wins content wise. Amazon is awesome for 2 day but is still behind Netflix in the tv movie content

If you are looking for value and you like online shopping, get Amazon Prime (it comes with Instant Video).

If you just want viewing content, Netflix is probably the best.

Then you should be able to answer this one yourself. Hulu is not really comparable to either as it's focus is on current network/cable TV shows. If you're cord cutting and can only have 2, one of them should probably be Hulu. If you already have cable then Hulu may be pretty worthless.
