Amazon HD Lower Price


Amazon has lowered it's price $5.00 for it's HD service to 7.99 for prime users. With Apple also now offering a HD service the competition is heating up. Will Tidal and Qobus follow and lower their prices?

The problem with Amazon HD is that streaming is throttled to a low resolution based on the traffic load (undefined by Amazon what does "heavy load" mean).

Furthermore, they seem ignorant of how Hi-Res streaming works.  According to their marketing, they will stream CD-quality up to 850 kbps?  As a matter of fact, 1411 kbps is the full CD-quality rate.
