I see they reduced Student membership to just 6 months now. When I first signed up for the student account Prime was only the shipping so there was no reason to upgrade early. When I registered again with my second .edu address, their streaming service didn't have PS3 or Xbox support yet so it was no loss.

I just recently upgraded to the full account and I will continue to do so as long as it is offered. The latest ePIX deal really added additional worth to the streaming service. Netflix stock just took a tumble (I dropped Netflix about 6 months ago due to lack of recent content when their contract with Stars ended).
