Netflix or Amazon Prime?

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.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
