Amazon Instant Video on PS3


Recommended Posts

Just spent the last 15-20 minutes playing with Amazon Instant Video on the PS3. Truly, truly Kick Ass. (Y)

Especially since me and the wife especially let go of Netflix, really great to have this as an option on the PS3.

Looks and performs great as well. UI is nice and responsive (when I first launched the app, it took about 3 seconds to kick in, once it did, worked like butter.

Any time I can watch Arrested Development Season 1 for free on my PS3, nevermind a whole lot of other videos, it is a definite win.

Really sweet this is now an option.

I am just wondering if there is a limit to how many devices one can have registered under Amazon's Instant Video Service.

I currently have 3 devices, plan to register a 4th (my other PS3 upstairs), so hoping I do not push the limit or something, as one of the devices is my parents Roku I got them for XMas in 2010, and I know they use the hell out of it, so them keeping it is most important to me.

But really a kick ass app to have.

Great app. I've been ignoring Amazon's video services even though I have Prime because I didn't want to watch anything on my laptop. This solves that problem. I'm one step closer to just cancelling my cable subscription and sticking with this, Netflix and Hulu.

You like AD? Awesome :D

I'm working my way through season 2 right now, me and the other half love it!

Great to see this hitting the PS3, just a shame they don't do the same here in the UK. Sadly with their purchase of Lovefilm I think it's very unlikley that they will do so either. Given the poor quality of the streaming and pretty bad selection of stuff I cancelled my Lovefilm subscription a while ago.

Yes, what a shame if it doesn't come to the UK. I've cancelled my Netflix sub because the app just doesn't work properly (I often had to try at least three times before it would log in and then it was often flakey), and Lovefilm was simply very poor in every way, so looking for something to fill the hole...

I just checked it out myself....pretty nice! Especially considering how my ISP gave me a free speed-boost this afternoon out of the blue! (20 down, 2 up, was 10 down and 1 up) I'm loving it!

Does anyone know if two accounts on one PS3 can have two different amazon Instant Video accounts? My boyfriend wants to purchase something from amazon Instant Video and pay for it himself, but when he tries to log into AIV, it says his PIN is incorrect. We are wondering if this is because *I* am the only one who has the AIV account synced since *I* downloaded it and connected my PS3... Any advice on this?

I know the Netflix app only allows one account, so assuming the Amazon app is the same.

You could just unregister it on the one account, register the other account, and keep doing it that way.

How do I unregister my PlayStation 3 from Amazon Instant Video?

When you are signed in to your Amazon.com account your registered PlayStation is listed at the top of this page. Click the unregister link next to your PlayStation to start the unregistration process. You will not be able to access Your Video Library or purchase Amazon Instant Video content from your PlayStation 3 after you unregister your PlayStation 3.

The above was taken from here.

What I would try first though is seeing if you can just register the other account.

How do I register my PlayStation 3 with Amazon.com?

To register, you need to link your PlayStation 3 to your Amazon.com account. If you don't have an Amazon.com account, you can create one for free during the registration process.

1. On your PlayStation 3, go to TV/Video Services > Amazon Instant Video. Click on "Register Your Device". You will see a 5-character code on the screen that you will use to complete your registration from a computer or tablet.

2. Visit our Registration page from your computer or tablet and complete your registration.

3. You are all set. Return to your PlayStation and start watching your favorite TV shows and movies with Amazon Instant Video. Simply go to TV/Video Services > Amazon Instant Video.

The above was taken from the same link.

Good luck, my guess would be they cannot be on the same console so will have to keep unregistering the different accounts as you want to use them.

He could always just pay you back and order it on your account.

Also, in classic chick on the interwebs fashion, since you're a lady w/ a PS3, if you and your bf don't work out,... sup?

    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.
