Prime membership remains $79 a year, and of course features our unlimited free two-day shipping on millions of products.

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?

Hollywood downloads a post-DVD future

The movie studio business model is poised for its biggest shift in years as Hollywood turns to Internet delivery as the only way to boost home entertainment revenues.

I paid 39 last year. It’s a great service. Everytime you order something thru prime there is not shipping charges. Still no tax. Add to that streaming videos. If you order anything online thru Amazon it’s a must. Williams Sonoma has something similar.

How do you get the 39.00 offer?

I would do that in a heartbeat. Right now I’m paying for the streaming Netflix and GBTV. No cable.

For 39.00 I would drop the Netflix and go Amazon.
