I would not replace netflix with it. If you don't have a prime account, you have to pay for every rental. Even with a Prime account, the amount of shows and movies available as a prime member seem kinda shitty, as most of what is offered is already on Netflix instant. The interface is kinda lame too.
I haven't tried it on PS3 yet but I've been using it on my Roku for for quite some time now. As previously stated above, the free selection for Prime members isn't all that great, but otherwise it's a decent way to pay for shows and movies.
It's okay. I feel like the UI is pretty terrible and most of what's on there is on Netflix at the moment. Hopefully it gets better.
If you already have amazon prime for free shipping theres no reason not to like the Instant Prime Vids, You basically get a huge selection of free movies and tv shows to watch. Granted most of them you'd probably rather watch a tree grow than watch but there are a few gems in the mix. Best Tv shows for prime right now is Arrested Development and The X-Files for me. Plus they have several Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes :). If you dont have prime it may not be worth it.
But i totally agree with interface it definitley needs some work.
Amazon Instant is better for renting movies than the Prime Library. They typically have a daily deal (usually $.99) and weekend deals ($1.99) that are not terrible.
