I am thinking, just like TheBigDave, that there are just not enough really good rental sales anymore.. I likely will still post them.. or some of them... but they have been truly dissapointing of late..

The Outer Limits: Season 1 & 2 are $3.99 each. There are over 30 episodes in season 1 with each being around 52 minutes. Season 2 only has 17 episodes.

Sweet, thanks. I already own the DVDs most likely, but went ahead and bought these anyway.

The newer series is also on sale, but only the first three 'seasons', and they are incomplete.

Well, damn. I just spent $20 on all five "seasons" of The Outer Limits, new and old, and long, short, or incomplete. The price was too cheap to resist. Thanks for the posting the deals... I guess. ;)

Dont know if its the normal price or not, but just browsing through the Dr Who offerings and seasons are dirt cheap. As in 8.99 a pop for the current gen Dr Whos and 12.99-15.99 for the HD stuff.

This is pushing me towards investing in Prime again.

Can you not browse by category on the iPad app? I'm not figuring it out. Seems like a pretty big miss.

While it's truly awesome that they've created an iPad app, it just makes it all the more disappointing that they haven't created an Android app for devices that aren't called "Kindle Fire."

Looks like it's basically just a video player for stuff already in your Queue. I don't see any way to browse their catalog. There isn't even a Search function.

Yeah, it's a little silly I have to go to my computer to even look for things to watch that aren't featured. Especially since they have the ability to display things by category. Mine was showing Action and Adventure last night but I couldn't change it to another one.

Maybe they had to strike a deal that was play only and not shop/buy

I'm fine with that. Netflix doesn't let you add to your queue with their app either. But not being able to browse the streaming content by category is stupid. Especially since they have categories in there, they just pick which ones you get to see.

Or, they specifically wanted to avoid in-app purchases so they wouldn't have to pay Apple 30%. :)

The cancelled FOX series Alcatraz is now on Amazon Prime for free streaming.

Not that any of you plan to watch it.
