I’ve waited a very long time for this day: Amazon Instant Video is now available on the PS3.
That means if you have a PS3 and are an Amazon Prime Member, you now have access to thousands and thousands of TV shows and movies for free, right from your television. If you’re not a Prime member, you can still buy or rent movies and TV episodes for a fee.
Here’s how to get started. On your PS3, go to the TV/Video Services menu and select the new Amazon Instant Video icon; this will install the required software. Once installed, the new application will run. Select Register Device from the main screen. This will display an alphanumeric code unique to your PS3.
Now, head over to Amazon.com and click the Begin Registration button. Enter the code. After a few moments, you’ll be asked to update your One Click payment settings (for rentals and purchases). Next, you’ll choose a purchase PIN so that you can prevent unauthorized purchases from guests, children, etc.
That’s it! You’re done and ready go roll. Enjoy!
Don’t have a PS3? Want Amazon Instant Video on your TV? Either nab a PS3 or a Roku box to get started.
