ajzepp Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 A couple years ago, Fez told me about how awesome an Amazon Prime membership was. Since that time, I've done most of my shopping in this manner and I have been in love with this service. Today, they notified us that those with Prime memberships will now have access to over 5000 movies and tv shows for free, to stream either on your PC or through a tv/bd player/etc that has this capability. If you don't currently have a Prime membership, you may want to get one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't include those of us who get a free version of Amazon Prime: Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acantha Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 From what I can tell it doesn't work with PS3 or Xbox. Amazon's going to have to get more device support if they want a bigger piece of the market. I have Amazon Prime, but probably won't bother if I can't stream to my TV, and I wouldn't buy a new player just for that service. Maybe they'll catch up soon...

ajzepp Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 How's their movie library compared to netflix? I haven't checked out the titles yet, but 5k is only a fraction of what Netflix has. I definitely wouldn't give up my Netflix for it, but it's nice to have more free stuff lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acantha Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 If you have an Xbox or PS3 (and probably more...haven't looked up other option) and want more streaming, check out Playon. With what the program offers and the plugins that are available, it's more than worth it. They have deals on price plans all the time, I got in on a $20 a year plan. Even lets you stream ESPN3 and NFL Rewind to your TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 funny that you mention this. i had/have ntentions of watching this movie tonight. No kidding? Well I definitely trust your judgement, so please let us know what you think. I've been on a foreign film kick the last week or two, so this one really appeals to me. If you like poorly-acted but fun foreign "guy" films, check out "Vengeance". It was some of the worst acting I've ever seen but I loved every minute. Lana seems to give the books a thumbs up, so I'm excited to watch this film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, dude, wtf...I literally just started watching "Secret" the other day, but I got too tired to continue. I only got to the part where the retired cop guy was interviewing the husband of the woman who was killed. It seems this movie has some SICK reviews, so can't wait to watch the rest of it. You and I are like brothers from another mother or something...we have very similar taste in entertainment lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I am able to watch their videos on my Bluray player. I know some can, just noted the Xbox and PS3 can't. IMO, that's a pretty big deal business wise. I know a lot of people that stream that way. Also, I can watch movies that are rented or bought on my PS3, just not the streaming. You have to be able to add them to your library before you can get to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I have chick-fil-A all over down here, I love those BK chicken sandwiches. I can always go for a whopper too... I usually go for the Advil because my headaches are typically sinus-related. I took a discus to the head back in the 8th grade and it disrupted my right frontal sinus, so I'm a bit more prone to sinus pressure. The Advil seems to lessen the pressure a bit better than Tylenol for me. Tylenol is safer for when you take something relatively frequently. Advil can really mess up your stomach and kidneys...people need to take that seriously. I've treated several patients with acute renal failure secondary to Advil use over the ten years I've been an RN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
