Amazon Prime Instant Video Now Streaming Free To Prime Subscribers

The rumor mill got one right. Amazon just launched the instant streaming service for Prime subs. The service opens up "5,000 movies and TV show at no additional cost" to those who pay for the Amazon Prime membership. Yep, if you happen to have a free or even trial account, the content isn't available for you. Sorry, fellow freeloaders, it's time for us to pony up the $79.99 a year for access to the shows and 2-day shipping on your Amazon orders.The service rolled out this morning and seems to work as advertised. Click the button and it starts playing. However, I can't seem to dig up if the new Prime free streaming content is available on 3rd party boxes. It doesn't show up on my TiVo or Roku yet. Chances are though these devices haven't got the memo yet and an update will open the gate to the free garden.Update: Prime Instant Video is live on the Roku streamers.
