The Amazon Prime membership is worth the money if you ship a lot of stuff, but it is worthless for Prime video. Nearly every show that Amazon has available for streaming will cost you a small fortune to stream, especially if you stream it in HD quality. I have a Prime membership for the shipping, but I rarely use their rip off video streaming. The only things worth streaming are the freebies, and those are few and far between. Everything else is way over priced.

What are you talking about? Are you saying the article is wrong?
Prime video is ONLY the freebies. The paid stuff is just Amazon Instant Video and has nothing to do with Prime. Any one can order it, Prime membership or no.
The article (or at least the snippet in this thread) says the newly acquired old HBO shows will be available via Prime. That means free with subscription.
