Recently I just got a free month of Amazon Prime. You get to stream movies from Amazon with a Prime account. $79.00 a year. I went through the movies that you can stream through Amazon and I have to say that their selection is a little better than Netflix.

How about movie quality?

I like how netflix has transformed itself over the years. Its very easy to find what you're looking for now, compared to a few years ago. How does amazon compare in this regard?

I have a newer TV with internet apps and "amazon on demand" is one of the apps I've never used. I wonder if an update would bring me to what you're talking about. I may check it out, but I already have netflix on 360, Wii and PS3 and on my TV. I can watch in almost any room in the house. I definitely won't be paying for 2 streaming services, but if its good enough and can be integrated, I may switch.

The quality on my computer has been good. But my wife and I are looking at ways to reduce the cable bill. So maybe having Netflix and Amazon Prime could be a good option.

Can you stream prime on something other than your computer? Until then, I'm sticking to Netflix.

I think you can stream it on a Roku box or any other type of streaming boxes. But my problem is I have an Xbox and a Wii and they don't have that type of streaming yet. But maybe they will down the line.

Also germaine to this discussion is the cost of the possible bandwidth usage, especially if you're looking to lower costs. AT&T DSL is set to institute monthly bandwidth caps in May, where you pay a fee based on GB overages.

Damn I'd be switching.

I have Road Runner. No bandwidth caps with them.

Mostly. I've been throttled a few times though. Had a buddy that did too. Mainly if you upload a ton they get kinda pissed.

How can you tell if you're being throttled? I don't upload too much stuff. But when I do I just assume that the upload speeds are what they are.

      2025 season

      I don't know that anyone is hating on Bryce.  I would think we all want him to put it together. I just have to ask though...did you watch our preseason games?  We have plenty of reasons to be concerned.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo.

      I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins.
