A long standing complaint I have about Amazon Video is one must manually start play of the next episode in a series along with the total absence of a playlist/queue that can be set to automatically play the next item in your list. |

I don't understand. Isn't the membership price what we were talking about?
My point was: why gripe about the tax making the increase from $79 seem even greater when it was never really $79 to begin with (because of tax). Unless the tax in CA on prime is a brand spanking new thing. Which is why I asked my question. |

Which would make the change to $99 (+ tax) basically a, what?.... twenty-one-and-a-half dollar increase as compared to a non-sales-tax-collecting state resident's twenty dollar increase? Gotta compare apples to apples. The difference between a $79 to $99 (taxed) price hike and a $79 to $99 (untaxed) price hike is fairly negligible. I understand perfectly if twenty dollars puts something out of someone's price range. Gotta do what you gotta do. But it certainly wasn't the buck-and-a-half more in sales tax that was the deal-breaker in that case. Last edited by DiapDealer; 04-04-2014 at 07:53 PM. |

We pay about 10% sales tax here in California. So for us its almost a $30 dollar increase including the tax.
So if we break it down by monthly payments it comes out to slightly over $9/month. Last edited by TheMatrix; 04-05-2014 at 11:36 AM. |

79 + 7.9 = 86.9 99 + 9.9 = 108.9 108.9 - 86.9 = a $22 dollar increase (as opposed to a $20 increase for non-taxed members). So I was off by 50 cents when I guessed a buck-and-a-half. Your monthly rate went up a whopping $1.81 compared to the $1.67 that non-taxed members monthly rate went up. The presence of sales tax simply isn't the drastic factor on this increase that you want it to be. Last edited by DiapDealer; 04-05-2014 at 11:56 AM. |

Where do you get your figure of $30 from? A $20 increase, plus 10% tax, is $22.
