Joystiq: Video: Hulu Plus on PS3

Full, comprehensive video preview of Hulu+ on the PS3.

TheTeam065046d ago

Minimizing the ads is a great idea.

TheTeam065046d ago (Edited 5046d ago )

Cable is even better.

@talltony - Only Plus members get into the "preview". Everyone on PSN can get Hulu Plus eventually.

blackbeld5045d ago

^^
Everyone? Even for The Netherlands? I hope so. I want this!

Venatus-Deus5045d ago

@ blackbeld

I could be wrong, but I think this is US only just like netflix

ttigass5045d ago (Edited 5045d ago )

i'm from Europe...
this sucks and i'm a PSN+ member

what i see is the US's PSN+ gets new things every week and the EU's PSN+ doesnt

i still dont even have the video store here

i hope sony does something better for the other people from outside US, since US is getting everything(except vidzone)

Godmars2905045d ago

No offense, but I'm starting to get tired of hearing European PSN users complain about "not getting things" when they've got at least two free and VOD options through the PS3's browser, and Vidzone which are free music videos.

For now, PS+ is being used to control/limit the number of PS3s using Hulu so they can work out bugs. Its also a US-only service, just like the VOD services and Vidzone are in Europe.

PotNoodle5045d ago

ttigass,

US PSN+ and EU PSN+ are getting the EXACT same amount of content. The difference is SCEE put out all the months content in the first week.

SCEA broke up the same amount of content over 4 weeks.

Blaze9295045d ago

wait wait wait....we still get ads and commercials? Wtf is the point then? Ulgh, this is why Netflix pwns.

Redrum0595045d ago

for those who dont know, with hulu, u get the newest episodes of shows almost instantly, netflix has a countless movie list but doesnt get the newest of shows and movies instantly.

being honest here, since im making money and dont pay for cable, huluplus is looking very good to me. most ppl pay around 60$ a month for basic cable so why not get huluplus.

Godmars2905045d ago

My main issue is that Hulu first reduced content, blocked the PS3 just as the browser could play it decently, before they returned what were basic services under a subscription umbrella.

That said, now that I'm actually thinking about it, I should probably drop HBO and HD and save money with Hulu.

Ju5045d ago

I know my HD cable box alone costs me $9.90 a month. ... Hm, rather ditch TV all together, invest into a fast line and get this instead.

Redrum0595045d ago (Edited 5045d ago )

Come to think of it, It was usable on the ps3 browser at one point until it was blocked. For those who used sites like moviefather.com y'all should know eat I'm talkin about.
I see your point godmars.

WildArmed5045d ago

before you all start jumping..
Hulu Plus is only for people who were invited to preview Hulu Plus.
Even if u r a PSN+ member, u won't be able to do anything unless u were invited by Hulu Preview program.

So no need to get all pumped up about PS+ subscribers only getting it.

The PS+ is only a preview program.. once the Hulu PLus (beta/preview) is over, everyone will be able to get it (9.99$/month)..
Don't need to be a ps+ member..

talltony5046d ago

JustTheFactsMr5046d ago

When it's out of beta it will be available to anyone

Raoh5046d ago

cool preview, unlike that trash kotaku tried to pass off as a review..

kenjix5045d ago

I'm sure they have accepted that by now.

vickers5005045d ago

They didn't. They said it was a "tour".

Soldierone5045d ago

You have to pay 10 dollars a month to use the service, yet it still has commercials? Yep sticking with netflix.

Nice! Wish I was able to pick up one of these when they were going for cheap on Amazon

vongruetz3337d ago

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

TheColbertinator3337d ago

Good to hear. Hulu Plus is my favorite

ScorpiusX3337d ago

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

ruefrak3337d ago

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.

uth113337d ago

Great, now get youtube & netflix and half the complaints about this device will go away!

vongruetz3337d ago

Youtube ain't happening, but you can use it through the browser. Netflix is the one that everyone is waiting for.

Hulu Plus Is Free For Xbox Live Members This Weekend

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.''

Insomnia_843930d ago (Edited 3930d ago )

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!

Godmars2903930d ago

Thing is I just tried it and thought the XMB says two months, everything else is saying one week.

Insomnia_843930d ago (Edited 3930d ago )

I did it two days ago, two months free.

shoddy3930d ago

Would it be free next week?

AutoCad3930d ago

actually xbox has that same offer up,part of The Awesomes promotion...
Good try though bro.

kreate3930d ago

That is true. But I think he's trying to say that u still need gold to access it on the xbox.

Heartnet3930d ago

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?

cleft53930d ago

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.

Two days is bum.

NukaCola3930d ago

2 days....come on, that's such a weak offer. H+ is $8 a month. Could of given a week at least.

HammadTheBeast3930d ago

Lol. I found this funny, I don't know why.

Kingthrash3603930d ago

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.

Heartnet3930d ago

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

Kingthrash3603930d ago

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.

Heartnet3929d ago

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?
