I use Netflix for streaming only now since they raised prices. I will probably dump them soon because I also have free streaming as an Amazon Prime customer.

How's their library compared to Netflix?

It doesn't seem quite as good, it also is not very easy to figure out in comparison.

Admittedly, I have used netflix for a little over a year and Amazon Prime for one week.

It's possible I'm simply comfortable with Netlix format, but it sure seems a lot more difficult to categorize and get helpful hints.

I have noticed a lot of similarities on both. I haven't been streaming too much lately as I have been watching my 1,000+ DVD/Blu ray collection. If you like TV series, they are both good for that. I think Netflix has more offerings in total including Disney, but that will end in February. Netflix has a lot of old tv series like Wagon Train and those are fun to watch. They both have all of the Star Trek series too, but so do I except for Deep Space Nine which I didn't care for that much.

I only keep Netflix because it cost just $7.99 a month, but I don't know how much longer I will stay with them. I have been a member with them since 2000. Some things Amazon wants to charge $1.99 or more extra to watch (the newer movie releases) and some things you can only see on Netflix if you rent a DVD.

You can join Amazon Prime and get a free one month trial. Just quit before the term ends and you don't pay the $79.00 yearly fee. I believe Netflix has free 2 week deals too. That way you can try both.

Netflix does have a larger library, but I think Amazon is trying to catch them.

A key with Redbox, at least physical discs, is if they can’t license something they will buy up every copy they need in an area to supply sufficient rental copies. Can’t do that with online streaming.
