PCWORLD:
After months of speculation, Hulu has finally announced a for-pay version of its online streaming television service. Hulu Plus costs $9.99 per month and provides full access to entire seasons (current and past) of shows from ABC, NBC, FOX, and other TV networks.
What's more, Hulu Plus will be available on a multitude of devices, including the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and TVs and Blu-Ray players from Samsung, Sony, and Vizio.
While $9.99 per month isn't that steep compared to premium cable packages, Hulu Plus has some problems that may make you reconsider subscribing. Here are three reasons you shouldn't pay for Hulu Plus.
Hulu Plus is now officially supported on the PlayStation TV after the app updated to version 1.04.
Nice! Wish I was able to pick up one of these when they were going for cheap on Amazon
I picked up my second during that Amazon sale. I needed a new PS3 controller and for $10 more, I could also get the PSTV, Lego game, and memory card. It was kind of a no-brainer
Great deal , but hulu sux . Tried the sub some of the movies on their were like 30-years old , stuff 8 have never heard of . Again great for those that will enjoy both
The movies on Hulu are not as good as what you find on Netflix. Hulu is the service you use to catch up on the current season of shows. I don't use it as much as Netflix, but more than Amazon Prime. If you have them all, you've got all your bases covered.
Great, now get youtube & netflix and half the complaints about this device will go away!
Youtube ain't happening, but you can use it through the browser. Netflix is the one that everyone is waiting for.
Hulu is becoming ubiquitous among consoles and it has now made its way to Nintendo’s handheld device, the 3DS. Users can try out Hulu Plus by signing up for a free month trial.
VG247: ''Hulu Plus is free for all Xbox Live members this weekend until Sunday, August 4. Usually you would need a Gold membership to access the service, but not this weekend, so hit up Hulu Plus on your 360 and enjoy.''
Lol
Go to huluplus.com/ps3offer and you will get two months of huluplus FREE.
Microsoft is letting you ACCESS the huluplus app(like you would on any other device and PC) for free only for a weekend and this is big news? Iol
I haven't seen any "news" mentioning the much better offer on PS3 where you actually get 2 MOTHS OF SUBSCRIPTION FREE and you don't even need PS+ to access the app, not only now, never!
Thing is I just tried it and thought the XMB says two months, everything else is saying one week.
actually xbox has that same offer up,part of The Awesomes promotion...
Good try though bro.
That is true. But I think he's trying to say that u still need gold to access it on the xbox.
so what? this is still good news...
i dont see how people can spin "free hulu plus on xbl gold" in a bad way or why they would for that matter...
if u have xbl and u dont have a hulu subscription... go you :)
and tehres no news for that cuz thats old news and no1 has made that... why dont you start a blog and write then and then submit it to n4g?
jeez some people just never pleased unless its about sony... cant people just be happy for others?
Didn't know about this, just did it. Thanks a lot, 2 months free is amazing and they have the subbed version of One Piece. You are truly legendary.
2 days....come on, that's such a weak offer. H+ is $8 a month. Could of given a week at least.
two day free....AWSOME!.....oh wait, i dont have my gold subscription...I must pay for this free content now bummer.....I wonder if x1 will have this same "must have gold to play apps" BS.
most likely as thats the model there running now and there is nothing wrong with it...
if u buy a xbox to watch hulu thats ur choice and u must pay the extra fee... u dont want to pay the extra fee go on ur tablet or pc and watch it...
its not bs just cause u do not like it... for most people with an xb this isnt even an issue, the people making a fuss about it dont even play on the xbox or even own one which is the funny thing
lol xbot^^^
you like fees?
I dont. and ill use my ps3 or 4 for hulu and let it take over my living room.....I swear for a console who's sole purpose is to take over your living room sure isn't doing it the smart way just to line thier pockets.
its just funny how you'd like to have a pay wall to access something you paid for.
same with the ads...if I pay for gold I dont want ads.. period.
but hey ms has you and thats fine enjoy hulu and cable and whatever else your over paying for ms appreciates it.
over paying... no i dont over pay :) ms wants $5 a month sure ill pay that but i wont pay $6 and over pay as u suggest...
and ads? MS let me know whats on offer and whats avliable on their service? hell i wudnt have known about half of their stuff if it wasnt advertise... they advertise relevant stuff to gamers on their console which is fine by me so i dont have to dig the stuff up myself..
and calling me an xbot cuz I pay for services i deem worth it? why did u bring up ps3 or 4 when i can acess them both from a tablet phone or pc and link to my tv using cables? i mentioned other sources did you not see?
It still has ads, has reduced content to a degree, but now they want to pay.
and its for americans
Its free on PC.
One or the other
Because Netflix is cheaper and gives you discs in the mail plus a pretty good library of shows/movies. All 3 seasons of Arrested Development anyone?
And no ads. It's pretty obvious Hulu Plus sucks.
Oh and if you want to watch a show the day after it's out, free Hulu is still there.
