  3. I saw that… and mostly ruled it out due to the missing wireless capabilities and that it doesn’t look to be a new product.

  6. I see Amazon just announced an increase to $99 for Prime. I got an email today saying that I will be charged $79 next week, and in 2015 it will go up to $99. So unless they unbundle streaming this might be my last year with Prime membership

  7. My renewal is up in October and I’m on the hook for $99 in 2014. But my wife and mom wouldn’t let me quit even if I wanted to…

  8. Is Prime really worth it? In a lot of states, you have to pay sales tax now and if you comparison shop Amazon their pricing has gotten a lot less competitive over time. I’d just as well go to Costco and get their awesome return policy.

  9. I pay for both Costco and Amazon… there’s some overlap for me, but not a whole lot. Amazon Prime is more about convenience, in conjunction with a much larger inventory than Costco, I’d say. Also, I just finished four seasons of The Good Wife on Amazon Instant/Prime – that has some value. The Kindle lending club hasn’t been as interesting or useful.

  10. I was googling for Harman Kardon gear at CES 2014 and the below link came back:

    If CES 2013 was the death of 3D TV, then CES 2014 is the death of Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV, and other digital media streamers/players. With the continued push towards smart TVs with built-in streaming apps, 4K displays that have an embedded Android media player, UHDTVs breaking below $1000, and news that Roku will release a line of TVs that come pre-loaded with the company’s streaming software, the standalone media streamer is fast approaching the end of its life.

  11. Dave you could always do the trick others are doing to lock in the $79.99 for one more year. Turn off auto-renewal and buy a Prime Gift Membership. I believe you can even pick the date it is delivered so you get the code the day before your Prime expires.

    Slickdeals has a thread on it.
