Amazon Beefs Up Prime Streaming Catalog
It’s good to see Amazon sticking behind it’s streaming service, which you get for free with a Prime subscription for $79/year. More than affordable, but I would hope they will increase their HD offerings. Anyone here fully switch from Netflix to Amazon for streaming?
Unfortunately, many of the added TV shows were not in high definition (HD). When we last counted in April, there were about 27 TV seasons in HD. With today’s announcement, the number increased to 36 with some notable additions such as The Sarah Conner Chronicles. On the HD movie front, it’s more difficult to get exact numbers as there’s no easy way to search for them in Amazon’s catalog. Don’t worry though, we have our best people on it. Stay tuned.
Netflix still has me in their
Netflix still has me in their power. I like getting sent Blurays. If Netflix were to ever go away from physical media, I could be tempted by Amazon, but until then I won’t. Although as the list gets bigger, I am getting more interested in supplementing Netflix with Amazon.
