So the guy who took a chainsaw to Netflix is calling another company a disorganized mess? -
that is the definition of chutzpah.

Let me guess…you are either an Amazon employee, know Hastings or own stock in Amazon…If none of these, then you are plain dumb. If you are getting a free service without paying extra for it….why would you have a problem with it?

Amazon Prime is awesome because I have the Prime plan so it is unlimited watching. It’d be great if all contents on Amazon is in the Prime package though. I’d pay $20 a month for that.

For those who don’t have Amazon Prime or Netflix in your country. You can use UnoDNS to get the the US version of Netflix or Amazon Prime with more movies.

I’ve watched a lot of stuff on Prime, especially free TV shows that come with it. Movie selection is better too compared to NetFlix streaming.

I think Mr. Hastings doth protest too much. Amazon can cross-subsidize Prime Instant Video with the revenue it generates from Prime, and ultimately this will prove very formidable and a serious threat to Netflix. Look at the simple economics from the perspective of a U.S. customer – $79 a year for Amazon Prime Instant Video or $107.88 a year for Netflix Instant. With Amazon, you get 2 day free shipping plus a few other goodies included. With Netflix you get nothing extra. In order to compete, Netflix will have to spend billions to have a deeper library to make it a more attractive option. Even if they do spend that money, it will mean they don’t make any profits. And Amazon isn’t going away. Bottom line: Netflix is in big trouble.

Really ? I subscribe to both but have been using Amazon more than Netflix because it has certain series I wanted to watch.

NFLX needs a new, younger CEO.. he is too old school, maybe still using Motorola Satellite phone… lol. Almost all our network of friends cancelled NFLX for AMZN.

He’s not completely wrong. I’m glad Amazon offers the bonus for Prime Members like me, but finding things to actually watch is painful. Amazon has good price, but the site is generally a mess and finding Prime Movie is just as bad.
