So, Netflix has hiked their price and made lots of happy subscribers unhappy.  I have primarily used Netflix for their streaming service for the kids, but there have been enough things they wanted to watch that were only on DVD that I thought it was worth the extra two bucks.  Not eight though.  We'll be cancelling that part just prior to the September 1 change.

Of course, there has been some commotion about the big increase and I came across the "Netflix alternatives" list today.  Most of the list was not very comparable, but I noticed that Amazon was listed.  I checked out Amazon Prime Streaming Video and am interested in learning more.  I have always been somewhat of an Amazon fan-boy so I am definitely interested.

It will take a Wii app and mobile device support before I'll switch, but I see the change coming.  Also, I'd like to be able to pay monthly instead of annually, but we'll see what happens.
