I have an Amazon Prime account and I can say that I have never streamed a show from Amazon. I also have Netflix and more recently I am receiving Hulu Plus. What Amazon needs to do is develop for different platforms. They need to be on Xbox, PS3, Wii, TVs, etc. Without that, I am stuck streaming sitting in front of my computer, which I just don't want to do.

It's on quite a few TVs already.

It works quite well on the Roku, but their interface for browsing is horrible. There's also no recommendations based on previous viewing/rating, as far as I can tell.

I use Amazon video far more to rent recent releases than I use it for the free Prime videos. Most, if not all, of them are already available on Netflix streaming.
