I'm used to Netflix, where there is an instant queue, and the service tracks which episode you're on in a series

I'm watching Justified Season 2 again and it's annoying that anytime i load up teh AP app (on a Panasonic Blu Ray player), i have no way to access justified quickly. i have to go back to search, search justified, and then remember which episode that i ended on

am i just missing something. is this a case of



or is the Amazon Prime app just a complete piece of shite?

It is worse that you can't get the app on older Samsung players. It fricking sucks.

The amazon app on play station 3 is the best interface of any movie apps.

I don't know about the wish list, but it keeps track of where you are in a series on the PS3.

It sucks on my Sony blu-ray as well. Netflix and Hulu are both great.

Find a player that implements the Amazon Watchlist. The latest from Sony does.

Really, I've never used the amazon app on my ps3. I do know that it is horrible on the 360 though.

I couldn't disagree more. Amazon's PS3 app interface is terrible compared to NetFlix. You have to load multiple screens to access what can be seen on one screen in NetFlix and then it is way too easy to accidentally shoot up a level higher than the movies you're browsing and change what section you're looking at.

man, there are so many games on PS3 that you can barely read the text for if its not hooked up to HDMI.

shite drives me nuts when I bring it to my GFs house to play.

This. I would get it but I am not going to buy a new Samsung player. They need to update the apps for the older ones.
