Re:Comparing quality of films in the iTunes & Netflix libraries by Steko on Tuesday May 15, 2012 @10:54PM (#3980215)
Wife and I spend a few hundred dollars a year via itunes on shows and movies we love and want to own in high quality.

We also pay netflix under ten bucks a month and for that we save a few hundred dollars each month vs what it would cost to itunes all those shows.

Can anyone say how Amazon's streaming offering compares with netflix? Is it basically the same shows and movies (meaning we should go for one or the other?)

Amazon's catalog is smaller than Netflix'. I also find the discovery aspect is difficult. (i.e., you go to related recommendations and now you're out of the stuff that's available for free streaming to Prime members.) I signed up for Prime when I dropped Netflix streaming and I've found it to be mostly a disappointment in that respect--although the free second day shipping has been a bigger feature in practice than I expected it to be so I'm happy on net.
