I think Hollywood believes we should all be happy to pay $90 a month for something like Netflix with 99% of the money going to Hollywood. 
Amazon's price increase was probably less about the content and the fact that shipping has gone up since they first introduced it. The prices for TV/movies didn't help any however. |
Netflix vs Amazon Prime is ALL about the Math! Nothing else. Right now I get Amazon Prime Free cause I purchased a Phone. So since Netflix Now gives me their streaming for $7.99 till May I still paying that bill as well. Looks like in May I be Paying a year for Prime at $104 price! Instead of the Year of Netflix at $120 As I said its about the Math. So far FYI I Yet to order anything for the Free Shipping ...seems everything I order I have to pay shipping Inc my PW2 So that just BS to me.
BTW any more comments just take them to the Netflix thread that TM started.
