I have an issue with picture quality on Amazon Prime. Everything seems darker to me. Anyone else have that experience?

Same here & the user interface on our Vizio is just terrible. Looking forward to watching The Wire, finally. |

| Will it be part of prime or pay per episode? Amazon's pay per episode is quite high - and prime content is severely lacking (especially in comparison to netflix). |

| I had a movie I started watching with my kid because it was free and when went to finish it a few days later it was now $4. |

| I hate that I never know what I am going to have to pay extra for with Amazon, with the exception of the series like Mad Men that I order, of course. At least with Netflix if it's there you know you won't be paying extra. |

I agree on this as well. As I said, the UI on our Vizio (think it is different on different sets) is such a pain. You can't search for only free on prime and the image & text is so tiny on our huge TV. You also have to "search" to find the next episode if you get off Amazon, it doesn't have a recently viewed section. Maybe I just have a thing against Amazon, I don't even like their regular site for shopping. Don't show me items that aren't available for purchase, why do you think I'm searching for them if I don't want to purchase them!? |

Yes, I noticed little changes like that too! They shouldn't charge when you go to complete a movie you started watching for free. Silver Linings Playbook used to be free now they charge for it, it was on my free movie watch list. |

Totally agree ... assuming the cost is reasonable. I can't imagine this means all us Prime subscribers will suddenly start getting full access to HBO shows. But it allows us to bypass the cable/dish providers, so that's a good thing. |

It will be part of Prime and it starts May 21 according to press. |
