Title: Amazon Prime Student (first 6 months free and $39.99/yr for 4 years)
Post by: Wildcard on Thu, 16 January 2014, 15:50:15
For some reason a lot of people aren't aware that you can get Amazon Prime at half the cost for being a registered student. Even if you're only taking one class, as long as you have an email address associated with an educational institution you can get the discount.

There are a lot of good TV shows you can watch for free through Amazon Prime's instant video service. I've been it more since I found out someone made a plugin to add Amazon instant video to Windows Media Player 7. (http://sharepointsnapple.com/amazonmceaddin/)

I got a referral email from Amazon this morning so I thought I'd share it. AMAZON Prime for Students (http://www.amazon.com/gp/student/signup/info)

Mod edit:  Replaced referral link with generic sign-up link

Don't think you get the instant streaming during the 6 month 'FREE' period.
