My husband bought a fancy blu-ray player that also provides a direct stream from Amazon Prime, and he can't understand why I stick with my Blockbuster disks that come in the mail.
Well, let's see. His Amazon Prime stuff takes way too long to load (even with hi-speed internet and a line connection), he can't seem to pause/fast-forward easily, and as far as I can tell...
no streaming video service offers closed captions for the hard of hearing.
Grr.
So, hmm. What were we talking about? I can't remember, but I'd be careful not to claim that Netflix/Amazon/whatever is the be-all, end-all for all/most/many consumers. It's a nice setup for some, but that's a far cry from some of the hyperbole here. "these consumer experiences are quite enjoyable and very convenient," indeed.
