Currently, the Netflix stuff works better and has more content, but Amazon's definitely catching up. Amazon successfully extorted Warner Bros. and Disney into providing content by fucking with their DVD sales... they have all kinds of leverage. I lunch off a family member's Amazon Prime account for the aforementioned free shipping. They can't justify paying for Netflix since Amazon is good enough for them. Netflix will have a hard time getting away with >$9.99/month price point.
And the moment that Netflix raises their prices, Amazon comes up with a monthly streaming plan that's less.
