Sony announced it has made Amazon Instant Video and Prime Instant Video available via its PlayStation 3 console.
The new addition offers Amazon’s nearly 100,000 movies and TV shows on the PS3 as well as about 17,000 streaming items available with a $79 Amazon Prime subscription.
The PS3 app is downloadable from the console’s XMB menu, but users won’t be able to buy content using their PlayStation digital wallet. Instead, they’ll have to connect Amazon’s service to the console over the Web.
“One benefit of that is cloud sync, however,” reports The Verge. “You can start a movie on your PS3 and resume on a Kindle Fire, or vice versa, for instance.”
“The announcement may not be as exciting as a live TV service, but it’s a major video service that the Xbox 360 doesn’t have… unless you count the grueling process of downloading shows in advance on a Windows computer and streaming to your Xbox using Windows Media Center,” The Verge points out.
