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

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.

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.

Oh, yes.

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!?

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

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

Bye Bye Netflix! This is good news.
