Free streaming of over 5000 movies and TV shows. www.amazon.com/ref=gno_logoI just bought a Prime membership like 2 weeks ago, so this is a pretty nice bonus. They have Baseball: A Film by Ken Burns as one of the options, pretty sweet. |

That's a hell of a boost over free shipping.

That's a hell of a boost over free shipping. Well to be fair it is free 2 day shipping, plus getting stuff on its release date or even before. The free streaming thing is a very nice bonus though. I mean thats something they didn't have to do at all. |

I mean thats something they didn't have to do at all. I've always been just fine with the regular free shipping. My orders almost always meet the minimum order price and I've never ordered something that just absolutely needed to be there in 2 days. |

Someone informed me that you get free Amazon Prime membership as a student, so I excitedly rushed to sign up with my unused student email.
1. It only gives you the benefits free for one year
2. The free movies only come with the full, paid membership.
Oh well.

Amazon's really stepping up their game in general with stuff like this... I just wish they'd get to work on their search settings. |

too bad the majority of stuff is already on Netflix...
I was hoping that, when I saw the list of videos, newer movies (like Scott Pilgrim, etc.) would be on there.
I'm sticking with Netflix...

Its just a bonus, I'm pretty sure this isn't meant to compete with Netflix. By no means should anyone buy a Prime membership because of this. However if you're already a member then by all means enjoy it.
I already have Netflix too, but Netflix doesn't have the Ken Burns Baseball doc for streaming, so just that is really cool for me since I have never seen it.
