I accidentally signed up for Amazon Prime, w/ student discount it's $39.99 for the year. Right now I'm checking it out, anything ya'll would recommend. I'll say this, it doesn't make me want to get rid of my Netflix, but as a nice one two punch, Prime has all my favorite Nick Toons..Ahh Real Monsters, Rocko's Modern Life...dare I say...Doug.

What do ya'll recommend?
 
I use Prime, but rarely for the videos.

Is this your first time signing up? I think you could've gotten the first six months free if you're a student.

I think they got rid of that. Used to be free for 1 year if you were a student. Now it's just half off if you're a student
 
Oh. My free trial ended last month :frown:

Still paying for it tho. That 2 day shipping :pimp: :pimp:
 
just buy alotta things and u receive it in two days

also sends me alerts when my package is deliveerd
 
Naw, it's still free for six months. I think what happened to OP is that he didn't opt out of the renewal ahead of time.
 
Yeah that free two day makes it worth it alone. At least for me who buys a lot of **** online.
 
Never used their streaming service :lol:

Don't use netflix either.. xbmc and icefilms :pimp:
 
I have prime but not for their streaming :lol:

I order everything i can off amazon :rofl: . Bought a macbook, an airconditioner, chocolate, books, antiperspirant :lol:

Cant wait for the drones :smokin
 
I barely use their streaming service. But the free two-day shipping is great. 
 
 
If you have Amazon Prime, you officially no longer need your roommate's mom's neighbor's HBO Go password to finish your "Sopranos" binge-fest.

"The Sopranos," "Six Feet Under," "Deadwood" and many other HBO classics will be made available to subscribers of Amazon Prime on May 21, the two companies announced Wednesday. HBO signed a deal with Amazon to make its archive of television programs available for streaming for Prime customers. This is the first time HBO content has been available on an online-only streaming service.

The main catch is that only shows that have been out for three or more years will show up on Amazon Prime. Older shows like "The Wire" and "Big Love" will be available in their entirety, while the newest seasons of "Girls" and "Veep" won't be available for three more years. The only way to stream seasons broadcast in the past three years is through HBO Go, which is only available to HBO subscribers saddled with an expensive cable package.

One twist: Certain tentpole franchises in the HBO universe, including "Game Of Thrones," "Sex and the City," "Entourage," and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" are not part of the Amazon deal, Re/code reports. These series are apparently just too popular for HBO to give up.

Right now, an Amazon Prime subscription costs $99 per year. In addition to streaming video, it also includes free two-day shipping on many goods sold by the online retail giant and access to Kindle's lending library. That price went up from $79 last March.

Don't have Prime or HBO Go and still want to watch classic HBO shows? A few, like "The Sopranos," are available through Netflix's DVD rental service and are generally available for purchase on DVD.

HBO Go is also coming to Amazon's new $99 streaming media player, Amazon Fire, by the end of the year.

This deal could be a blow to Netflix, which has been in competition with Amazon's streaming service since its inception. Last August, Netflix snatched up an exclusive streaming deal with The Weinstein Co. for its movies, including "The Artist" and "The King's Speech." Both Amazon and Netflix have also released their own original shows to entice new subscribers.
 
Oh ****, I didn't know The Americans is on Prime.

I've heard so much about this series, I need to give it a try.
Looks like I'm back to using Prime's streaming service. Haha.
 
Couldn't come at a better time. Sopranos and the wire on tap for this summer. Get to watch em after the hype.
