Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Yep exactly I've been using it for a year now and it's worth it if you order stuff on Amazon enough. 8)
You can even buy food on Amazon. You could shift some of your grocery shopping there. My parents frequently buy peanut butter from them.

Amazon prime is fantastic, and it just launched in Canada... I will probably be splitting a membership with my boss. I used to have it for the US, just got stuff shipped to a buddies place in Seattle. Was always there within a couple of days, super awesome. Really good for last minute gift shopping, too ;)

Amazon Prime is actually too good. Or so my bank account would indicate.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Thank you big time for this information. Made my day.

I'll take that as two pages of a thumbs up. :lol:

Had no idea they had a streaming service and I've been considering getting Netflix or something sometime soon anyways, so maybe I could try this out instead. Can you access it with consoles or anything?

PS3 for sure, not sure about 360 or WiiU.

The Wii U's Nintendo TVii supports Amazon Video. I think there's a downloadable Wii channel too.

I know they want to move Kindles, but I do wish that Amazon streaming videos/ebook lending/etc. was available on iOS as well as on the web/other devices....
