Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
Is anyone able to find Prime Original series in UHD anymore? They always had two versions, unlike Netflix, which just ups your quality based on subscription. But now I can't even find the UHD/HDR versions on my Roku or my TV apps. They used to be right on the home screen, now I can't find even by specifically searching. Have they crippled this unless you own a Fire 4k device or something? I can still find the occasional movie that trips the HDR flag, but none of the originals anymore.
There doesn't appear to be a dedicated UHD section on their app.

Did they add X-ray to shows recently? I haven't watched anything on Prime in few months until I started watching Jack Ryan. Whenever I pause it, x-ray comes on the screen with cast information. I didn't know if that was for Jack Ryan specifically or if they were doing that for all the shows on Prime.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
How do I get Amazon to stop sending emails every week about new episodes I bought from their streaming? Thanks.

Rumor has it that NBA League Pass might become an Amazon Prime Channel.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
The emails should come from different addresses, like store-news@amazon, [email protected], [email protected].
Check and see what address it’s from. It’s it’s unimportant, spam it. Or if there’s some common phrasing in the subject line (“new episodes” or whatever) block that phrase.

It looks like Oldboy got confused between this thread and the "kinda all streaming deals" thread that mentioned the Hearts Beat Loud pricing error back on 7/30:

Where the boys are (1984)
is now on Amazon Prime. I've been wanting to see this for 30+ years. I remember seeing the VHS as a kid on shelves at the video store, but it was Rated R, so that was a no go.
Now I'm watching it now on Prime. Sure it's cheesy as hell and tame by today's standards, but it's nice seeing a very young Lynn Holly Johnson and Lisa Hartman in their 80's hair and bikinis.
The only thing that makes this Rated R is a few minor boob shots. No sex or nudity.
Only drawback it's in 4:3 and SD. But, it's certainly watchable.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
so why does one service have the HD version and the other service have only SD when they are UV/MA compatible?
I just bought Papillon (73 version of course) on AP in HD. figured it wasn't MA and wouldn't transfer since Vudu was only SD. didn't bother checking the bottom. but, it is and transferred so i own the SD copy on Vudu and HD on AP.
how come they both don't have this in HD? i mean i'm glad i have both, but Vudu interface for me is just more user friendly and don't love the AP app. so while tempted to watch in Vudu, i don't see why i would do that when better quality on AP...

It's what they're given by the studios.
