Am told there is a software update but can't verify for sure. I get my prime video content frome my blu-ray.

Once you connect to the network, go into the smart menu and choose amazon prime, then follow the directions to either log into an existing account or start the free trial.

Not working on my set, so I must have the funky firmware version. But I can still get the Amazon content on this set via my old Roku. The box shows Amazon icon, the TV remote has an Amazon button, the Smart TV Menu at the bottom of the screen has an Amazon selection, but the button sends you to a black screen and selecting the icon from the on-screen menu results in a message that Amazon content is not currently available but that they are working on it. I'm sure I could take it back to Costco, but it is a great TV otherwise, and I have the Roku workaround.

hot did you get that deal from US-Appliances? I am also tired of waiting for amazon to get this TV in stock. Oh well, I would rather get from Amazon. I will wait few more days and see what shall happen

Well, I haven't been able to get it to work. I purchased it from Amazon for the particular reason to watch Prime movies and when I wrote to them about it, the answer was...Oh well! I still haven't been able to get it to work because it is not listed in their streaming device list.

The TV by itself is not compatible with Prime. I searched a lot blogs when I originally purchased the TV to find out the answer because I got different responses from different sites. I believe one run of the TV early on had the capability of getting Prime but subsequent models did not. My Bluray has that capability so I wasn't too concerned.

I am in this same boat. I am a HUGE amazon fan, and would Love to buy this TV... however, I don't want the BUZZ.... If I buy from Crutchfield or BestBuy, I know I can have them check it out before I have them ship it.

Yes, it's working. Just bought one yesterday, and it didn't work. TV updated itself overnight, and Amazon Prime works!! Hope this helps.

I haven't tried Amazon, but suddenly my ability to get Netflix, Youtube, Facebook, etc. has disappeared. I have talked with Netflix & with my internet provider...they concluded it's the tv. I've seen the problem in online forums. They say to reset the tv back to factory settings. But I'm going to call Vizio & see if they can walk me through it.

This a great question. Why doesn't this blu ray player have an Amazon Prime App?

August 21, 2011 and Panasonic still hasn't added Hulu Plus. I've tried several of the free months with Netfix and Amazon and I have to say, I think I'm going with Amazon. Amazon seems to have more HD selections and I they will pass-up Netfix with selection in the next year. Besides, how can you go wrong with Amazon Prime free shipping? Your thoughts?

Hello Kathryn. I have never had any difficulty using Amazon Prime with this television? I use it frequently in fact. What issues arise for you?

HI Dan, I own the JVC tv that you do, and love it!! Never any problems! Unfortunately, amazon prime movies are not compatible with this tv. However, you can circumvent that problem with a compatible dvd player, blu ray player, roku, etc, that is compatible with amazon prime movies. Check out this link, provided by Amazon, and see if you have any of the other items that are compatible with amazon prime movies.

Mine died after TWO days! I have Prime so as soon as UPS logged that they had received it Amazon emailed that my account was being refunded. Best reason to become Prime eligible.

Sign in to your Amazon Prime account and find Amazon Instant Video settings. Then paste in this url: http://tinyurl.com/kk5hwfp for a list of compatible tvs. If yours isn't here, I don't think you'll be able to watch Amazon on your TV. I can't get it on mine. Maybe someone else knows something I don't know.

Amazon doesn't appear to have this TV anymore. $429 was when Amazon was selling it, now the price keeps fluctuating because other stores are selling it through Amazon. I am in the same boat as you and I am waiting to see if Amazon gets it back in stock so the price might be $429 again. Lets keep our fingers crossed...

Matt, the price creep is really annoying! I was about to buy this thing last week for $2199, but wanted to wait till I got home because I had $75 worth of Amazon credits that I wanted to apply. By the time I got home, the price has risen by $85!!! So unfuriating! Then it dropped another $15. I felt like I was watching the stock market! Feeling like a sucker, I finally bit the bullet yesterday and purchased the TV for $2269. I'm glad I didn't wait until today because the price increased another $50! I don't know why they do this, but it makes me very uncomfortable as a customer. Will the price drop again by tonight? I feel like I'm a rat in a market-testing experiment. I wonder whether all of Amazon's customers see the same price or do some customers get higher prices depending on how often they express interest in a product by re-visiting the same page? I remember a few years ago Amazon gave slightly different pricing info to people who had an item saved to their wish lists.

Yeah, I'm stuck using Netflix + Vudu despite being an Amazon junkie. Would love to watch Amazon movies on one of my devices (xbox 360, boxee, apple tv), but none of them support it. Come on Amazon. Kindle rules because it works on every device, why isn't Amazon video the same?
