I decided Not to go with Prime. My Sony Blu-Ray crashed I cant find 1 new Blu-Ray that streams Amazon. As I stated before they want to Force people to buy the new Fire Streaming thing ...no thanks! We will just stick to Netflix. BTW I checked with friends that have new BR Players with streaming ... the ones that were to get the Amazon by March NOPE so far not happened.

Nastiness won't get you anywhere in life either.

There are a number of Blu-Ray players that will stream Amazon, including 2013 and 2014 models. Check this page, about 80% of the way down, past the monstrous list of TVs.

As I said earlier in this thread, I have a new Sony BDP-S5100 and it streams Amazon video.

Netflix liked Amazon's price hike so much they decided to emulate them:

http://www.cnet.com/news/what-we-kno...ix-price-hike/

$1-$2 extra for new subscribers sometime in the next month or two.
Current subscribers will be grandfathered for a while.

The executive said the company is still deciding how long current subscribers would be "grandfathered" in -- that is, how long current members would continue paying their current rate before the higher price applies to them.

He said the length of that period of time would be generous, likely between one and two years. When Netflix raised prices in Ireland, it gave current subscribers there a two-year lag before a price increase hit their monthly bills.

New members who sign up for the service, starting sometime before the end of June, will have to pay at a monthly rate that is $1 to $2 higher than the $7.99 level that allows for two simultaneous video streams and the $11.99 rate for four streams at the same time. The company suggested the increase would happen in the US as well as other countries, saying in a letter to shareholders that the amount of the increase could vary by country.

Damn. And I was soooo counting on the prices of stuff I like to remain the same forever.

[tubemonkey]

I can tolerate a $24 yearly increase from Netflix, but not a $20 yearly increase from Prime

I smell some overripe bananas.

But this is tech stuff. It's supposed to get CHEAPER. I was hoping to retire on the income from when the prices for all my tech services went down past zero into negative numbers.

Time for a different spin, right?

What is tech stuff? Ten years ago, you would have spent $2000-3000 to get a computer fast enough to decode the streaming video, $10,000 for the HDTV to watch it on, and your 1.5Mbps Internet connection would have run somewhere around $300/month and would only be available from the phone company.

Hardware is cheaper. Connection speeds are faster. If you look at what $10/month would buy you in content a decade ago, I don't think you have much right to complain about what it buys you now.
