Tried it and yes, seems to work. But not sure where the 1000s are. Selected Prime video, than foreign movies, it shows a mixed list of older and not so old movies, but only 308. Add to this Japanese movies and animations...and of course its all for Japanese, menu as well as my beloved Hong Kong made Ip Man movies: Chinese with Japanese subtitles!

So all videos on amaxzon prime would be free for existing members? It is great to see new , and convenient options for watching shows and movies on TV.
