And in the meantime, on Amazon Prime....
“Dear Customer,
I have big news for Amazon Prime members - we’ve just signed a deal with FOX to add a broad selection of movies and TV shows to our unlimited instant streaming service later this fall. The new additions from the FOX library include 24, Arrested Development, The X-Files, Ally McBeal, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and - available on digital video for the first time - The Wonder Years. We now have deals with CBS, NBCUniversal, Sony, and Warner Bros, and adding FOX will bring the total to more than 11,000 movies and TV shows available for unlimited instant streaming.
Since launching earlier this year, we have now doubled the number of titles available in Prime instant videos, and there’s still more to come. Prime membership remains $79 a year, and of course features our unlimited free two-day shipping on millions of products. Prime is one of the best values anywhere.
Prime instant videos can be played on more than 300 HDTVs, Blu-ray players, and set-top boxes.”
It’s a good time to be a customer.
Amazon has been nudging me to join with an offer of $39/year.
Meanwhile, Netflix jacked my price by sixty percent, and its CEO told me openly that I have to enjoy the price hike.
What do you think is going to happen here?
I’m waiting on Amazon’s tablet announcement. It is rumored the price will include Prime. I did, however, cancel my Netflix after the price hike and all the arrogant emails from Netflix that followed.
