The points you listed are about the highlights of Prime IMHO - there's a few other bits, but almost everything I fancy watching turns out to be an additional cost option.

Netflix - waaaaay more content & all included in the price

I have both, but I'm a heavy Amazon shopper & like the fast deliveries, so the video content is kind of a free benefit.

Does Netflix have just films or are they nature / science channels too? Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Zermatt Silver

I have both

Amazon is pretty much my default go to for shopping, they just make it easy. Video and music streaming are just an added bonus (although I am slowly becoming wedded to their offerings - I have Alexa speakers dotted about the house and 4 Fire TV sticks....)

Netflix has loads of great content and my kids love the cartoons

I dont find either option great for watching the latest Hollywood blockbusters (Sky Cinema is better), but for original mini series drama programs, there is plenty of great quality on both Thumbs Up 2007 Zermatt Silver TDV8 Vogue SE - now sold but was a great car!

/\ Agree with that - I've had both for years & probably 90% Netflix Thumbs Up

I watch mainly on my iPad whilst travelling, though sometimes on a TV at home

Netflix also has a family subscription, so my wife & kids have their own and we can all use concurrently if we want to

Netflix has some superb original content and by far the better catalogue but mainly series with a smaller selection of films. Amazon does a great job of merging a good catalogue of free content with a huge range of paid content, particularly films.

Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are worth the Netflix subscription of their own. Very Happy 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

I'm in a minority here.

I regard a certain company as deeply unethical & absolutely refuse to have anything to do with it - their contribution to the destruction of the high street as well as other reasons leaves it a lot to answer for.

All the poorly paid delivery drivers who have helped build up the size & strength of the company will find eventually find themselves with no income at all when said company replace them with drones.

My (foolish) daughter is typical of the sheep - buys absolutely everything on line & then complains when the local shops vanish.

The only times I use their website is to compare prices (& 95% of the time I see that oft quoted phrase "this item is out of stock, we don't know when or if will be in stock again"). They are rarely less than buying local & waiting a couple of days. 2003 Range Rover Vogue TD6

I’ve been with Amazon long before they started video with a prime membership. The other benefits make sense. And it’s the perfect retailer for the 21st century.

But I’ve also got Netflix which I generally watch more. But then there is also Apple TV+ and NowTV.

Combined it’s still so much cheaper than Sky Q ever was and better image and sound quality.

I use the Apps through my Apple TV 4K so I not only get it in 4K with Dolby Vision but also with Dolby Atmos.

I resisted all for a long time just using recorded tv stuff.

Visited my sister in the USA just before xmas and watched an excellent film. 2 popes on Netfllix

in view of the impending doom decided to sign up..

Ditto amazon & today found we had free Apple TV , sorry free if u buy one of their Censored Censored expensive phones.

Really didn’t like The Grand Tour , only watched 50 percent before I gave up, IMHO BBC do a better job

Netflix seemed to have more stuff.....u can cancel after one month... I’m sure amazon does a free trial Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits.

I have an Apple TV box that was a freebie a while back. We use it to rent films.
Do they do also do a subscription type thingy? Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

Yes Apple has a subscription Apple TV , download the app, it’s a fiver a month and some content is unique to them...
some is rental films . I don’t know what it’s like as only started it today, I had forgotten the free year.

Another one is rakuten tv. No subs and just pay as u go rental. Similar films as u can rent on Apple . I don’t think they generate their own content. That maybe a good standby if like I used to be prior corona virus, not wanting to pay! Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits.
