IGN: Hulu Plus on the PS3 Preview

The invites for the Hulu Plus preview are going out, and IGN has one. Yes, just days after the Hulu Plus preview program went live on the PlayStation Network -- for PlayStation Plus members only -- an invite arrived in our email box this morning.

It's sexy looking.
Too bad Hulu isn't in my country.

I am a plus subscriber, but did not recieve an invite. Other then that I don't know about paying $9.99/month and still have to see advertisements. I would not want to pay for something, that still shows me advertisements, while PC users get to use it for free, it's like I am paying for them to see it for free. I know it's still early to tell, but I do hope they remove those advertisements for the people who pay, or else I see this failing.

i don't have plus i just gameshared it, but when i luanched Hulu i notice there is an option that tells you to put your email and they will send the invitation

Hmm, I can download Hulu Plus from the PSN+ section, but no email about the preview. The sample videos stream nicely and it looks nice in general. Eh, submitted a request for an invite while I wait.

i can't confirm it now, apparently gamesharing has its limits on this app. It its used on another PS3 you have to wait 24hr before you can use it on your PS3 again. That is weird i hope games aren't like that to

I knew all of those things. I'll add one that many dont know (if you are a hardware person you do). you CAN actually swap bluray drives between systems. The drives themselves are interchangeable but the board that interfaces is not. So anyone who has a dead optical drive can just get a replacement and swap the interface board and be back to reading discs in no time. I've had to do this myself on both a 20gb B01 as well as a 40gb L01 unit.

you can also replace the spinning hdd with an SSD for improved (not life changing) performance as well as quieter and cooler system reliability. The physical spinning drives draw more current and generate heat as a result. Using an SSD means no moving parts and thus will have less current draw and reduced fan noise from not having to spin as much as usual to offset any heat generated by the spinning hdd.

I never even thought of that. If I can ever track down a reasonable true backward compatibility one the first thing I'll do is ssd it up.

Took my PS3 out the other week and plugged it in, it has the Red Light of Death. RIP

Still one of my favorite Playstations next to the Playstations that came before it and after it.

You missed some great games then. Especially the variety. Ps3 lacked compared to before and after.

It had great games but it lacked compared to every other ps system. The variety went out the window. Game budgets got higher that's when developers stopped taking chances. Indies weren't quite going full speed like the ps4 generation. It's my least favorite of all the Playstation. Also jrpgs disappeared like a mf, there were some but sht compared to previous gens.
