    For Prime Account "Primary Members"
    Free Access to "Unlimited, Commercial-Free, Instant Streaming of over 5,000 Movies & TV Shows

    This may be a nice advantage to some that don't use Netflix/Hulu Plus, etc!

    LINK

    **This will not work for Prime Student accounts, Guest accounts, etc. You need to already have a $79 Paid Prime account (and be primary), or purchase a Prime Account for $79

    Very interesting....
    I bought Prime before I knew that student email would get it for me for free. I guess I'll at least get to put that $79 to use now....

    ^^Yeah, I am a add-on on a friends Prime account, so it won't work for me. It's ok, I have some credits I can use & Netflix works just fine for me. : )

    I have the "amazon mom" account, wonder if that qualifies.

    edit: nope, have to pay for the prime membership.

    Wow, that is a VERY good movie series! Definitely not family oriented though. I highly recommend the Millenium trilogy! (it's advertised as free for Prime members at Amazon's front page)
