I know nothing about the streaming - haven't used it. But Prime itself is the most amazing of all amazing things. I buy almost everything through it. I recently got a lawnmower. It was on my front porch less than 24 hours after I clicked "Buy", since I paid the $3.99 for one day shipping.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Just checked, and I have free shipping, but would have to pay $40/year for the other stuff.

Completely. I recommend getting three friends and splitting the cost. I've been on a stranger's account for years. $75 a year is a little steep, but $20? Totally worth it.

Prime is $75 now? I remember when it was $49.

Actually, it's $79.
Blarg. Ctrl-click/middle-click has stopped working in my Firefox for no apparent reason. Like, it was working last night, and not this morning. I cleared my cache and disabled Greasemonkey and scanned for malware, to no avail.

I'll be sad if and when the day comes when I have to pay for Prime, but I will if necessary because I have become completely spoiled by it.

I have had it for years and they will need to pry it out of my cold, dead hands.

Ayup. That free 2-day shipping is addictive.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That Prime membership is one of the best marketing ideas ever. I've bought a lot more things from Amazon than I would have if I'd had to pay shipping. And overnight shipping is awesome for when you've forgotten someone's birthday.
