katilac Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I have both. Netflix has far more than Amazon Prime; I would not consider it a 'replacement' for Netflix. Netflix also has tons more in the educational category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I've streamed from Amazon, though I rented movies instead of using Amazon Prime, and we have Netflix. I can say that Amazon is much, much less glitchy for us. I've had nothing but problems with Netflix, probably because they exclusively use Silverlight. Never had a problem streaming from Amazon, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Weasley's Wand Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I have both. We don't have cable, and used a combination of Netflix and the internet to get our TV and movies instead. I only just heard of the free content available through Amazon Prime a couple months ago. We have an Amazon Prime membership, but we have the membership for the other benefits. I'd never consider the streaming service a good enough reason to justify the price of Prime alone. I prefer Netflix. There is more content and it is far easier to find the content available than Amazon. The interface on Amazon is simply miserable for me to use. Because we do not have any of the special devices that allow you to send the Amazon content to the TV, we can only view Amazon content on a the desktop or laptop computer. I truly hate watching movies this way. Netflix is viewable and works without trouble on all of our media devices in our household - two iPhones, two old iPhones that do not function as phones any longer, an iPad, the TV, and both computers. Naturally, where either source of media will play for you is dependent on how you are set up, but Netflix let us get onto many, many more devices without requiring the purchase of anything new. We can get the Amazon content onto our TV if we want to purchase one of several possible methods of doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Netflix has way more selection AND almost anything available on Amazon Prime viewing is already on Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
