    Currently the only way to do it I think is to install "Play On" service on your computer which then streams the Amazon movie to your PS3.

    PlayOn is a streaming software that lets you stream Hulu, Netflix CNN, CBS, YouTube, ESPN and now Amazon VOD and Revision3 online content sources to your XBox 360, PS3, Popcorn Hour and many other players.
    Two week free trial (I tried it last year and it was very good)

    This just hit too:
    Rejoice, PS3 owners, your Netflix streaming experience just got vastly better than anything else on the market. Starting October 18 Netflix on the PS3 will no longer require a disc, and it'll stream some content with 1080i resolution and / or 5.1-channel surround audio, while everyone else will be stuck with a max of 720p stereo for the time being. Oh, and you'll get subtitles on some content as well. Netflix is partnering with Dolby on the audio side, and the surround format will be Dolby Digital Plus, which is the same codec used by the VUDU HDX streaming service -- we're guessing it'll require a tiny bit more bandwidth but the results should sound pretty great. Netflix says 5.1 will come to other platforms "over time," so we'll see how long that takes -- and given that the PS3 is now disc-free and the company's eschewed the SRS surround features baked into its Silverlight-based platform, we're guessing Microsoft's exclusivity period has now completely run its course. Video and PR after the break.
