PS3 - Hulu Plus available for all not just PSN+ (next week)

[DaveSimmons]

One more reason to ignore PSN+

As of next week, all PS3 owners can pay $10/month for Hulu Plus, not just PSN+ members.

I might say yes if they had CW shows (Supernatural, Smallville), but just House and Bones aren't enough to get me to bite.

I'm glad that the market apparently agrees with me (it isn't worth paying for psn+ and hulu+), though I'm not sure if hulu+ is worth it. Haven't really checked + out, as I do fine with regular hulu.

Not gonna pay $10 a month to get Hulu lol, i already pay for a TPI bundle.

I tried Hulu Plus for a few days and found it not to be worth it. A lot of the new shows that are free on Hulu are not available on Hulu Plus (meaning I couldn't watch them on my TV) and that was a huge deal-breaker for me.

...I must be misunderstanding something. When you subscribe to Hulu Plus, you lose access to the content of Hulu? If that's true, that's ridiculous. Also, what prevents you from not signing in to your Hulu account so you can watch the regular Hulu shows anyways?

Given then inanity of the above, I'm really thinking I'm missing something here.

Regular Hulu content is blocked on most devices like the PS3, iPad, etc. the networks only allow it to run on computers. Also, I think regular Hulu sometimes plays content by directing you to another site, like for CW.

Hulu Plus pays the networks extra money for the right to be seen on a TV, but the networks still won't agree to do that for all of their content.

I had Hulu Plus for a month. Spend the money on Netflix if you don't have it because Hulu Plus is in no way worth $10/month IMO.

One of the many reasons I have a full fledged HTPC, which just happens to have a 5.1 surround sound system and 46in LED LCD attached to it.

Ah, that explains it. I wasn't really aware as I only watch hulu on my computer.
