Amazon gives Prime customers free streaming video
Tech blog Engadget is reporting some good news: Amazon is giving Prime membership customers access to free streaming video.
Now I can get even less work done!
Prime membership, for $79 a year, gives customers “free” 2-day shipping AND access to 5,000 videos. That’s cheaper than Netflix, but the streaming video giant has more streaming titles, about 20,000.
Here’s the announcement Amazon posted.

So let me get this right, it’s cheaper than netflix and has fewer titles? I don’t buy a lot of things from Amazon, except for Christmas gifts, so I don’t see the draw for me to switch so I can have fewer titles to choose from than what I have now.

Does this deal extend to Amazon Student members, too? I’ve heard the answer is no. http://www.amazon.com/gp/student/signup/info

It does not apply to student members, unfortunately.
