Amazon is offering a free 30 days of Prime membership. I would appreciate commentary from any who have used any combination of the three video services. I have Netflix currently but I am curious about the others.

Wherever whores go.....
Hulu- Newest Shows and good collection of anime
Not much else
Netflix- Biggest Selection but most shows are months or a year old.
Movies are never new
Amazon - Has some exclusives but nothing worth getting it over the other two

1.Netflix
2. Hulu
3. Amazon

thats as far as video services go although amazon just got a lot better since they have HBO series now so i would tie it with hulu , if you shop on amazon a lot though i put it over hulu

Is Amazon Prime streaming working on phones yet? I stopped checking on it.

I know they got an Amazon Instant Video APP for IOS devices (Iphone, Ipod Touch) not too sure about android though. Windows phone gets no love from them except their store app.

I use hulu, amazon, netflix, and HBO Go, and amazon is the worst as far as content, but with a student discount it is much cheaper than the others, also you get free two day shipping on a lot of stuff. It would be the last one I got rid of and the only one i actually pay for. I think it has tones of value for my needs, but it does have some stuff that the others dont, and they just recently added some hbo shows

Then it's a waste of time..I'm not about to be at one spot no time soon. It's 2014...how you can not have a mobile option? That's ridiculous.

prime video is just a bonus to having the 2 day shipping for me.

i'd take advantage of it more if it was easier to navigate. at least separate the kids shyt.. i hate trying to find something to watch and half the shows are nickeloden.. :shaq2:


and why do they insist on separating each season of a show as its own thing? :camby:

Amazon to me is a waste.. I dont like it. I only use it since they took Nick Jr shows off netflix..

and you gotta be careful on amazon the pay and free shows are mixed in and if you not paying attention you might end up paying for something

If we just talking about content, it seems like Amazon has more shyt than Netflix. I have both and pretty much everything that's on Netflix I find on Amazon Prime. But Amazon has mad exclusive shyt that's not on Netflix.

Netflix actual streaming service is better to me though.

I watch a few shows on it, and im using somebody else so i dont pay, but amazon does have a couple shows that the others dont have....to keep it real they all complement each other nice.
