$9.99 for a limited time. (free for prime members)
Amazon Instant Video is now playing on the PlayStation 3 system. Register your PlayStation 3 today to start watching over 120,000 movies and TV shows, available to rent or purchase. Prime members can also watch thousands of these videos at no additional cost.
Will it be coming soon to Wii
I'm confused - the app is free on PS3, what is $9.99? The Prime video rental subscription?
@wynterwynd: I set it up on my ps3 free of cost and I don't have prime.
I think the 9.99 would be for unrestricted access to the "120,000+" videos (that comes free with Amazon Prime) ... otherwise isn't it an individual cost per rental / purchase?
Is this $9.99 per month, year or some other span of time?
I'm not sure what the $9.99 is, but Amazon Prime is $79 a year and the first month is free. If you're a student, you can get 6 months for free. It's worth it for the free two-day shipping if you order stuff online a lot. Their video library isn't the best, but there's some good TV series on there. Plus, if you have a Kindle their Kindle lenders library is excellent.
Also as a student after your initiall free time you can continue to recieve Prime at half the regular anual fee (39.99). Although while on your free time i do not believe that it includes this video service untill you're a paying member. When it first came out they did state the free video service was only available to paying prime members...
@stupidel: As one who's used student, That's all correct. The half-price renewal does give you all the features of prime (instant video, kindle lending library, etc), not just free shipping; although you have to stay a student to get it (I think there's even a limit as to how many years you can do that).
@dougtheneard: You are correct, you can renew up to three times at the reduced rate of $39.99 after you use up your free year of Amazon Prime Student. I have Netflix so I'm just waiting till my free prime ends. By the way, if you still have a valid .edu address you can register for Amazon Prime Student.
