Looking at some of the early release movies i.e. 12 years a slave, you will still have to pay to watch that movie. The American site is charging $14.99 to buy it. I do not know if you can stream the new movies for "free" if you are a member within the yearly charge. I am also not seeing any mention of the DVD rental service being included in the package. If they added (or already have) the DVD rental serve, then I would find this a fantastic offering. I still do not care for much HBO content, and whilst their movie offering may be better than Netflix, I do not like watching movies by streaming them through my laptop on my TV, it is not as reliable as Netflix on my TIVO.

I very, very rarely buy anything via Amazon so the prime delivery option does not bother me. I will say though, it does seem a good price and I may give it a go, purely for the Kindle lending library. However, I still prefer to expand my physical book collection but finances currently dictate how much I can buy.

Whilst it is a good price, I am not sure if it is for me though.
