I think the main benefit of Amazon Prime (for me, at least) is the free next-day (or sometimes 2-day) shipping with all orders. I order most things on Amazon these days, other than groceries, which I like to inspect myself. Even then, it's irritating when I go to the grocery store and they're out of their most popular items, such as whole wheat sandwich buns or chive cream cheese, and sometimes I just order even my groceries on Amazon Prime, though one obviously can leave those outside for too long. There are a few shows I watch on Amazon Prime, such as Gen V (which stars a bunch of hunks such as Patrick Schwarzenegger), the Rainmaker (which stars hunky Milo Callaghan as a sexy lawyer), and Fallout (though the 2nd season took 1.5 years to come out--not until this December). I get easily more than the $11/month in free shipping, and the shows are extra as far as I'm concerned.
