I had student free prime and decided to pay the $79 or so for prime instant video thinking it would be netflix plus 2-day shipping.
Boy I was wrong.
Let's be honest here, Netflix has some series and NO movies. yeah, it has a few, but mostly crap or things i've already seen.
amazon instant prime is 10x worse. and netflix was bad enough already.
And besides no content, the Wii client i use, i take roughly 5min to start to watch something in my playlist! the loading times are Horrible! and the constant interruptions in streaming convinced me to not even look into their cloud services.
If you think Netflix has mostly crap or movies you've already seen then either 1) you've seen a ridiculous amount of movies, 2) you're really not putting much effort into discovering good content or 3) your real problem is with Netflix's content discovery. Probably a combination of #2 and #3.
I tried searching for good movies there. All were dvd only, which defeats the purpose of paying for streaming (i.e. Being more convenient than torrents)
I will agree its mostly crap though. I cancelled my subscription a while back, but I think I'd pay $15/month or so easily if they could increase their catalog.
