Surprised no one has brought this up yet:
Personally, I get enough use out of the shipping component on a regular basis that the video streaming is just a bonus and it's something I'm still going to keep when it renews at $20 more.
EDIT:
Some additional items of note:
Here's one way to lock in one additional year at $79:
Time to let the complaining commence.Dear Shrike4242,
We are writing to provide you advance notice that the price of your Prime membership will be increasing. The annual rate will be $99 when your membership renews on December 14th, 2014.
Even as fuel and transportation costs have increased, the price of Prime has remained the same for nine years. Since 2005, the number of items eligible for unlimited free Two-Day Shipping has grown from one million to over 20 million. We also added unlimited access to over 40,000 movies and TV episodes with Prime Instant Video and a selection of over 500,000 books to borrow from the Kindle Owners' Lending Library.
For more information about your Prime membership, visit our Prime membership page.
Sincerely,
The Amazon Prime Team

HOW TO CANCEL AMAZON PRIME AUTO RENEW:If your current Prime membership is scheduled to expire on or after April 17th, and therefore would auto-renew at the $99 price, you can effectively lock in the $79 price by taking the following steps:
(1) Look up your Prime expiration date. (Let's say yours is May 15th.)
(2) Purchase a Prime Gift Membership here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/prime/pipeline/prime_gifting_landing
Set the delivery date as the date after your membership expires (in this case, May 16, 2014).
Enter your own e-mail address as the gift recipient. It is okay if this is the exact e-mail address already associated with your Amazon Prime account.
Place order (total will be $79).
(3) Turn off your Prime auto-renew. (End membership - at expiration)
(4) On the day after your membership expires, you will receive an e-mail from Amazon with the gift membership. Follow the instructions to apply it to your account.
This is a pretty straightforward way to save $20.
Go to Manage Prime Membership [amazon.com].
Review the renewal date listed on the left-hand side of the page.
If you currently have an Amazon Prime free trial, click Do Not Continue .
If you currently have a paid Amazon Prime membership, click End Membership .
Turn off your renewal using the link below the renewal date.
Note: Your membership will expire at the end of the current period. It will NOT end before your current paid subscription is over, nor can you cancel it early for a refund.
