Amazon is being challenged to make money, and they are doing that by slashing the expensive part of prime (shipping) and throwing in plums like streaming media and cloud storage.
I order online from Amazon 5-6 times a month. I've had more shipping delays and misses over the last three months than I've had in the last 3 years. IMO, Prime is dying -- they wouldn't be talking about entering capital intensive businesses like shipping if it were sustainable.

Me too -- I've had stuff from prime not even ship for a week more than once recently. Amazon is losing their focus, edge or whatever. I don't care about prime movies, prime music, or prime anything other than prime reliable fast shipping.
