Streaming Sites Compared
In our latest Tech & Stuff podcast we were talking about Amazon Prime users getting instant watch videos and I was saying that if Netflix had any competition it would be Amazon and the guys argued that I was wrong. Well the good folks at Clicker put together the above chart detailing how many titles are available for streaming at these sites currently. It looks like Netflix is the king in all categories as far as numbers but Hulu is delivering a lot more current TV shows than Netflix does. Do you have a subscription to Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
UPDATED: Looks Like Two & A Half Men is Cancelled

Britney Spears Banked with Her New Video
Holy hell, so I just sat through the entire new Britney Spears music video to catch all the product placement. She made $500,000 FROM PRODUCT PLACEMENT! PlentyOfFish.com, a free dating site, forked over 6 figures to be in the video. POF said they saw an increase in traffic by 20%. You can totally see Britney is digging me since she’s all checking out my profile (if you don’t know, that’s me in the top pic) in the video and after the jump see the rest of the product placement, it’s obvious and bad.
Amazon Prime Competing with Netflix
Yesterday I posted that Redbox will be jumping into the online streaming game. Amazon has always offered online streaming but you had to rent the titles similar to iTunes. Starting today though any one that has a paid for Prime account (excluding students) and live in the US you have access to over 5,000 titles to stream from instantly for free. Amazon Prime is $79/year compare that to the new only streaming plan from Netflix at $95.88/year. This is just an added bonus to the awesome perks of Amazon Prime, free 2 day shipping and overnight shipping for $3.99. If anyone can create competition for Netflix it’ll be Amazon.

Redbox to Start Streaming, is Netflix Scared?
This is something I was talking with Nick about a few weeks ago. I have a Netflix subscription with the one DVD by mail. I don’t use the DVD by mail often, or ever, I still have a DVD out for the last few of months that I lost. But Redbox has a service that Netflix can’t deliver, giving me something right now when I am spontaneously craving a movie. With over a billion locations in my hometown (little bit of exaggeration) I just open the app and see what’s in stock at the locations near me. I click on the reserve button and go pick it up knowing that it’s waiting for me. Read the rest of this article…
