Have any of you ever used this service? I just bought a new Blu-ray player with streaming capabilities and since I have an Amazon Prime account, I'm entitled to stream certain titles for free, while others are available for rental or purchase.
I plan to use this mainly for films I don't plan to watch more than once. I may rent titles occasionally, but I don't think I'll purchase any because they currently will only sell feature films in standard definition (rentals are available in HD) and because buying a feature film this way is as expensive -- more expensive in some cases -- than buying the DVD. I'm trying to understand the appeal of buying a film this way, aside from the instant gratification aspect. You're very limited as to where you can watch something once you purchase it, whereas a DVD can be watched practically anywhere. So what's the advantage? ???

We dont have that service here X Man, sorry :( We only just got Amazon Prime a short time ago.

I have Prime but I haven't used it for streaming as I don't have a device that supports it, and I hate watching moves on a laptop.
I wish they'd get enabled on the PS3.

Sounds good - my problem is that I don't have DSL (no line by my house) and cable internet (again, no line by my house; the line is for TV only). I've got wireless high-speed broadband Internet which can be effected by trees, weather, and constant relocation of the tower (it's a Mom and Pop operation). Often I time out on a YouTube clip. Dang, sounds like a great deal
