I dont mind Hulu getting paid, but Sony should pay them. We're already paying for PS+. (well, I'm not, but some people are).

"With the launch of Hulu Plus there have been many rumors started and we are trying our best to remedy the situation. Specifically to your question, the Playstation Plus service is only a requirement during the preview period.

Once the preview period ends you should be able to download the Hulu Plus app but that will still require the Hulu Plus subscription.

Right now we are limiting the number of users but Hulu Plus will be launching to the public very soon so stay tuned!"

Whether or not you have PS+ you have to pay $10 to Hulu every month]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/

hahahaha $60 for hulu's old episodes on a ps3?

ill stick to my 360 and $8 for netflix]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/Jul 14th 2010 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/No, you do not have to have PS+ to have Hulu+ on the PS3. So actually its $10 for old hulu episodes.

Personally I will just stick to Netflix. But still, the hulu deal is not that bad if you do not have cable. It gets more recent TV shows than Netflix and they stay on for longer. The biggest downside for me though, is that even if you pay $10 for Hulu+, you STILL have to watch the ads! I think that is a bit of a stretch....]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/
You can get Netflix on PS3 and you DON'T have to have PS+ to get it. Just pay $9 a month and stick the netflix disk in (its not $8)

But here is my message to Hulu: What about regular ol' free Hulu? Can't I watch that on my game consoles?

And here is my message to both Microsoft and Sony:
1) Why are you forcing people to get Xbox Live Gold just so they can pay $9 a month to watch Netflix?
2) Why are you forcing people to get PlayStation Plus just so they can pay $10 a month to watch Hulu Plus?

It's completely asinine. Either make it INCLUDED with your $50 a year plan or have it available for everyone.]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/Oh and, its not really $8 is it now. Remember that your Xbox Live subscription is required...]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/"2) Why are you forcing people to get PlayStation Plus just so they can pay $10 a month to watch Hulu Plus?"

Once again, they are not. You can have Hulu+ separate and only pay $10 per month.]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/Jul 14th 2010 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/Jul 14th 2010 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/Jul 14th 2010 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/Jul 14th 2010 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/Jul 14th 2010 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/
Well people pay for cable and you still have ads. But $10 a month sounds a lot better than what most people are paying for even basic in some places. If figure in the cost of not having to rent/buy a DVR for time shifting, you can start to see the benefits.

I for one, am ditching my cable when I can get Netflix and Hulu+ running in my living room. It will literally save me hundreds of dollars a year.]]>Jul 14th 2010 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/

Is a website run by a 360 fanboy. We've known that for YEARS

And what gives? You don't mock fans of other systems that much.]]>Jul 14th 2010 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/
Except Netflix was free with no additional fee for the 360. Hulu Plus is a new service that requires a fee where as before Hulu was FREE.

Highly doubt this service will be as popular or as widespread as Netflix is.]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/Jul 14th 2010 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/
I do agree, though, that Netflix has just about cornered the market and I for one have no interest in Hulu's paid offering...Netflix suits me just fine.]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/As usual, I have no idea what you're talking about. Not only does Netflix on the Xbox 360 require you to subscribe to Netflix, you must also be a subscriber to Xbox Live Gold in addition. Could you explain how that is "free with no additional fee?" BTW, Hulu Plus will also require an Xbox Live Gold subscription on the Xbox 360 in addition to what you would pay for Hulu Plus.]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/
You have to have XBL Gold to use Netflix on a 360?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sorry.

It works fine on my PS3 without any stupid 'plus' services. Oh, and it works wirelessly without any expensive adaptors. And it works without self destruction even though I bought a launch model of the console.

I guess the Sony Defense Force joke was meant to get the console war going. I think MS would be smart to let XBL silver members use Netflix too, but they don't seem to need my help making money.]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/
What does HD DVD have to do with this? I didn't even own one of those. I like most people was waiting for the dumb format war to be over. Would I have liked sony to lose. You betcha but it really doesn't bother me. Movies are movies. Not here to argue about that.

However Netflix has always been a service that you paid for and as long as you had a Gold Membership you could access your Netflix shit with no issues and no addditional fee.

That's the fundamental difference. Hulu was free before. Now it isn't. So why exactly should 360 owners be jealous or even care that sony fanboys are first in line for a pay for service?

Oh wait that's right we don't care. ]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/
HULU Plus is now charging you for something you were already getting where Netflix is expanding the ways you get video from them and have not increased the price.

HULU Plus will most likely still subsidize their coffers with advertising during video where Netflix has not done that (so far).

For $15 a month I get 2 DVD's out at a time with a 2 day turnaround and streaming to just about every device I have connected to my TV's. Besides, I have been watching HULU on my PS3 for over a year with PlayOn.]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/Netflix = $9/mo (XBL Gold required / PS+ NOT required)
HuluPlus = $10/mo (XBL Gold required / PS+ NOT required).

So with Xbox 360, an extra $35-$50 is required just to access these paid services. PS+ is only required during the short preview period. After that, normal PSN users can get the app for free (stills require the $10/mo regardless).]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/But... the Xbox Live Gold is an additional fee. It's $50 a year MSRP. That is an additional fee. Just because you yourself already pay for it does not negate it.

Netflix on PlayStation 3 (and the Wii) does not require you to subscribe to anything other than Netflix to use it. Hulu Plus will apparently be the same way once it opens up for everybody. ]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/
And netflix on 360 vs netflix on PS3 (I have both consoles by the way I use PS3 for playing almost all games except for Halo and Gears of War and use the Xbox for Netflix, Halo, and Gears of War) wwaaaaayyyy better on the 360. ]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/
Hulu (free) will be removing full season access to all of their content, and only the most recent few episodes will be available for free.

They also have removed (by request) certain TV Shows because studios could not maintain the licensing. With this new service (Hulu+) these and other networks should be back on board.

And Netflix DID increase their prices, requiring you to pay an extra $2 for BD access. As they get more people, they need more money to cover services. As they get more people using Watch Instantly (which is still fairly limited) they will require more money to cover overhead. If that can be taken out of the softening need to cover DVD/BD deliveries, then great. If not (and the demand is still high for both) they will need to raise prices again.]]>Jul 14th 2010 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/hulu-plus-launches-on-ps3-exclusive-to-sonys-console-through-2/
