parrot Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 badass...Prime is an awesome deal, I buy a lot of crap off the amazon and 80 bucks a year covers all shipping AND tons of free movies/tv shows in hd. Working through Sons of Anarchy with my wife atm, but I'll have to check some of the new stuff out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulsaGeoff Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Oh "Sons" as my GF and I refer to it is amazing. I'd like to see more streaming support for it. A PS3 app for example. EDIT: Just looked and it appears they now offer this. Time to link to my moms current prime account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
