PS3 console owners might be pleased to learn that a new Amazon Instant Video app has now arrived on Sony’s PlayStation 3 consoles. The new Amazon Instant Video application has arrived as a clickable icon rather than as a service update, and is now available in the PlayStation 3’s cross-media bar under the video section.
The App is a 19mb download and once installed provides access to over 120,000 TV shows and films to either purchase or rent. With instant streaming of nearly 25,000 high-definition movies and TV shows available directly from your PS3 console. If you are an Amazon Prime member you will automatically receive full access due to your annual subscription.
Features and Benefits
The Amazon Instant Video app brings a plethora of entertainment options to PS3 users. One of the standout features is the extensive library of content available. Users can choose from over 120,000 TV shows and movies, making it one of the most comprehensive streaming services available. This includes a mix of the latest blockbusters, timeless classics, and popular TV series. The app also supports high-definition streaming, ensuring that viewers can enjoy their favorite content in the best possible quality.
For Amazon Prime members, the benefits are even greater. Prime members have access to over 17,000 TV shows and movies at no additional cost, thanks to their annual subscription. This includes popular TV shows like “Glee,” “Downton Abbey,” and “Sons of Anarchy,” as well as classic movies such as “Office Space,” “The Graduate,” and “Brokeback Mountain.” The annual subscription fee of $79 not only provides access to this vast library of content but also includes other perks like free two-day shipping on millions of items and access to thousands of books from the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library.
