Interesting. In DE those services were just unlocked (and the price increased for renewals accordingly). So far it was JUST for fast shipping.

I subscribed for faster/cheaper shipping and canceled now, after a couple years. The streaming services are of no use to me. Most content in Germany is .. German (dubbed). I don't see a streaming client on Android or a way to stream from my XBMC. Inaccessible + expensive -> No prime for me anymore.

Content being dubbed is the most annoying thing. Here's a relevant discussion (a mixture of English and German replies): http://www.amazon.de/forum/high-definition?cdThread=Tx3PQMDU...

Apparently, there is some content which isn't dubbed but it's not enough to make it attractive.

Well, as I said: For me it is the combination of these things.

Even if the content would be awesome: I cannot access it. Unless I own a particular brand of TVs, a weird Amazon tablet, an iOS device (all negative and no interest in any of these things) - how am I supposed to get that stuff on my TV (which happens to BE a 'smart' TV with optional internet connectivity, but it's offline for a very good reason)?
