Netflix on Playstation 3: Instant Watch Program Won’t Load

In the last few months, I've really enjoyed watching movies via my Netflix Instant Watch disc on my Playstation 3. However, in the last week, the program doesn't seem to want to load. It sounds as if the PS3 is constantly trying to load the program, but can't seem to get it done. The rest of my discs seem to load with no problems.

Anyone else have this problem? I have requested a new streaming disc from Netflix. I will post an update when the disc shows up in my mailbox.

Free 3-Month Trial of Amazon Prime

I just wanted to make a quick post about how you can get a free 3-month trial of Amazon Prime (courtesy of slickdeals.net and my friend Doug).

What is Amazon Prime?

According to Amazon.com's FAQ, Amazon Prime members get "all-you-can-eat" free two-day shipping on their orders. Typically, a yearly membership costs $79. Depending on how much you order from Amazon, two-day shipping costs can add up quickly. For example, if you purchase an Amazon Kindle, normal two-day shipping can add up to $12 to the cost of the item. After a few orders, Amazon Prime pays for itself.
