No, it won't. The $96 for Netflix streaming gets you a sizable library to watch, and 720p in many cases. Amazon has a tiny library, and is more interested in baiting you to buy VOD - the absolute opposite of Netflix. Why would I pay another $79 for a lesser service? This "service" will be gone within the year, unless Amazon substantially improves its library, resolution, and negotiates with the content industry to deliver ala-carte cable channels.
