Long story short, I accidentally signed up for Amazon Prime before Christmas to take advantage of expedited shipping etc... and I forgot to unsubscribe during the 30 day trial. Now I’m getting into all that it offers and I kinda like it. Between the music, tv, and movies not to mention the shipping benefits I don’t see a downside to this for the cost.

How could have it take me so long to get on this band wagon. Next up Netflix streaming or something?

Don’t forget you can get on free monthly twitch subscription with Amazon Prime. The wife and I are watching yesterday’s Critical Role right now.

Amazon Prime is awesome. I just watched the first episode of a series called ‘The Racing Collection’ from 2011 and damn is it good. It’s graphic (the first episode goes over Formula 1 racing in the 60's and 70's and how many were lost while trying to improve safety standards) but informative.

Amazon Prime and Netflix are in some kind of battle to the death when it comes to streaming content. They both make numerous excellent shows, enough that you really shouldn’t need TV anymore...

Some other useful things I use:

Prime Photos: Free unlimited photo storage

Prime Reading: Free ebooks

Twitch Prime: I don’t use the streaming stuff, but they also have free games and dlc (this month you can get Superhot free, among others)

They aren’t battling with each other so much as they are battling with the studios. They know that the studios would love to cut them out and just have their own streaming platforms, and there’s not much they can do about it, so it’s worth it for them to just produce their own content to have stuff available.

Amazon Prime is beginning to surpass Netflix in quality shows and movies.

Absolutely. Hulu is holding its own, as well.

Plus the entire Seinfeld catalog, which keeps me busy.

Never heard of twitch before. But we’ve been getting our moneys worth of the prime shipping and the video/music offerings for years now.

Don’t forget subscriptions to things you use regularly. Think toilet paper, kitty litter, pet food, feminine products so you never have to be embarrassed and confused picking them up for your significant other, and the list goes on
