Title: Re: Amazon prime any good? Post by: fabiola! on November 29, 2014, 10:57:34 PM only buy it if you order stuff often and want the faster shipping I never order anything on Amazon. I wanted it for the netflix-esque services, is it worth it? Title: Re: Amazon prime any good?

They added some old HBO shows though a while ago Title: Re: Amazon prime any good? Post by: kimosan on December 03, 2014, 07:01:31 PM I have both, Netflix is better for movies and tv shows imo. It looks like Prime does have The Amazing Race, but sporadic seasons, some prime, some not. That's something about prime, the library is not user friendly, either I'm stupid and can't figure it out (highly likely) or there simply isn't a way to list a certain show by consecutive season like on netflix. PITA. Quick search I saw season 1, 15, 17 free prime streaming but some other seasons were not free and others simply missing.
I only have Prime for the free shipping. I order tons of crap from Amazon and prime pretty much pays for itself in the first few shipments. If you're only interested in movies and tv, stick with Netflix. (or hulu) Title: Re: Amazon prime any good? Post by: VistaSharpie on December 03, 2014, 07:04:17 PM The Netflix service is still the hands down best streaming solution for movies and television shows. Nothing beats Netflixes selection and wide array of movies

(or hulu) I'm obsessed with the amazing race and hate netflix for not having it. only 3 free seasons on Prime though? I know the latest one (season 25) is not free but I was under the impression I could watch at least the old ones for free :( Title: Re: Amazon prime any good?

( I want to watch the amazing race, I've heard it's available on there?) Fiddle with your DNS settings or invest in a VPN like Unblock US and you can access the American Netflix. There's a lot more content on there and you can use your existing Netflix account. Title: Re: Amazon prime any good?

Your DNS settings are what identifies your location and country. You can sometimes manually change the DNS settings or pay a few quid a month to something like Unblock US which fools Netflix into thinking you're in the US for you. Title: Re: Amazon prime any good?

They work by redirecting region restricted websites (eg. netflix) to their proxy server. That has an advantage compared to VPN because it only proxies the traffic that needs to be proxied.Your DNS settings are what identifies your location and country.
