I just did the math, and at 99 cents I would save money over having cable.<p>Unfortunately, only the older shows are 99c, never the current show. And only for some channels. New HD episodes are $3 each.<p>Most shows I will never watch again, and I generally know which ones they are by halfway through the first season. I generally buy the DVD or Bluray of these.<p>If Amazon was offering rentals for half the price of purchases, I'd probably go for it. It'd cost a little more than cable, but I wouldn't have to run a DVR or worry about whether I marked my favorite shows or deal with the times when the DVR fails to record for various reasons.<p>But paying 3x as much isn't in the cards for shows I'll never watch again. And for shows I will, how do I know they won't kill this service in a year... Right when I want to re-watch my purchases.
