Re: Amazon

said by eco:

Because Amazon's streaming service is pay per stream meaning you pay individually for each movie you stream, just like VOD from your cable company or rentals on the iTunes store.

Netflix gives you unlimited steaming for a flat fee with all but their most limited monthy price tier. I pay only $8.99 with my Netflix account and get unlimited streaming of movies and TV shows. I've never even once had a DVD or blu-ray mailed to me since I've been a member, all I use is the streaming. In fact, the Tv I just bought I got specifically because it has Netflix streaming built right into it.
Amazon has many more newer movies than Netflix. Anything that has been out on DVD for less than 6 months won't be on Netflix strteaming. Which make Netflix less than useless. Bad enough I have to wait an extra 30 days to watch it through Amazon. I'm not waiting another half a year to watch it on Netflix.

You seem to be missing the point of Netflix streaming vs. Amazon. Netflix is all you can eat so I can watch as many movies as I want for a flat fee whereas Amazon charges per movie just like you'd get your local blockbuster or redbox.

Sure and the all you can eat buffet is a better bargin as long as you like what they are serving.

If gave you a choice of 2 meals A) you're favorite dish( no 2nd's ) $12 B) a buffet for varius kind of animal feces for $1 and it's all yu can eat. Which are you going to take?

Amazon may be the same price as Blockbuster or redbox, but I don't have to get out and I don't have to return the movie. By the way every now and then Amzon has discounted rentals.

here's crapload for $2.99. I'm renting Star Trek TONIGHT. They even have a few for 99 cents.
