It appears the attraction is the fast, free shipping since you can get free shipping on orders over $35. It just takes longer. I am patient and don't mind waiting for 3-7 days to get what I have ordered.
I don't do Netflix or any other TV viewing like that. I am still in the stone age of just having cable TV.
Is there other benefits that might sway me to buy a Prime membership?
Prime Music is nice, there are a ton of albums you can stream online for free.
Prime Lending Library, you can borrow one free Kindle book a month.
Compared to the cost of Netflix you're actually getting a ton even paying the full amount. I started out at the half-price Prime student but it's definitely worth the $100 a year.
