Amazon Prime - Is it worth it?


It's worth it because most people aren't buying Prime for Instant Video, they are buying Prime for the shipping savings and IV is almost a bonus.

For instance, I've lived away from my immediate family for 4 of the last 7 years, which means I break even on Prime during Christmas alone. So for me, Prime is worth it, and so is having the slightly different video options from Netflix.

If you're buying Prime just for video, probably not.

Pretty much this. I have it for the shipping. I will say that one advantage of Prime over Netflix that I use quite a bit is the ability to download free videos to an actual device. This allows me to fill my kids' tablets with free movies and shows prior to us going on a road trip where they won't be able to stream in the car without using tons of my data.

Edit: I see that TigerinATL already covered this.
