Starting today, all PlayStation 3 owners in the United States, not just all of those Rockefellers out there with PlayStation Plus subscriptions, can enjoy the television and movie-streaming goodness of Hulu Plus.
Sony announced last week that it would be opening up Hulu Plus to non-PS Plus subscribers “soon,” and it seems they weren’t kidding. The service includes content from Hulu’s impressive library of movies and TV shows, as well as content from Sony’s own PlayStation Network.
To enjoy the streamy benefits of Hulu Plus, you’ll need to sign up for the $9.99/month subscription. If you do subscribe, you’ll be able to access Hulu Plus on other Sony devices like Bravia TVs and Blu-ray players.
What's the verdict on Hulu Plus? Hu? Lu? Bit of both?

I got Hulu Plus on my PS3 last night and it is terrible. For one, the PLUS part is more like a minus. The shows I would like to watch, like Chuck, AOTS, X-Play, etc., aren't available on Plus. Secondly, the HD content is amazing...but streaming is terrible. The videos will play but be choppy. While streaming, the content will skip ahead a few seconds. Worst of all, Hulu Plus constantly freezes my PS3, making me restart the console. It has nothing to do with my internet speed either. I have the highest broadband package available at 40 Mbps. The ads also suck. Why do I still see them on a subscription? Not a huge problem but its pretty dumb. There better be a patch coming out soon or I'm cancelling my subscription. If I'm going to pay for this, I expect it to work.

No - Even if you PS+ like I do, you have to pay $10 a month to watch shows. I don't watch enough for that to be anywhere near worth it.

It's kinda cool it's free if u have playstation plus. so y not use it and seriously if you get playstation plus u can download enough free mini games and really cheap stuff to pay it off in a day. I have it but usually don't use it ofter especially since black ops lol

The "content limiting" of Plus is what limits me from wanting Plus, and even thinking about using a device that can only access Hulu Plus (rather than the regular service). Barely any of the shows I watch are available on Plus devices, as they're only available on a PC with the standard Hulu service. I'll stick with my HTPC and lack of Plus subscription until/unless that's remedied.

I miss a couple years back when I could just use the Web Browser on my ps3 to watch everything on Hulu. No way I'm paying 10 bucks a month sorry. I think the most I'd go is 25 a year.

Good on Sony.
Though, how many people chose Hulu Plus in addition to or instead of Netflix? There are only so many subscription services one can keep up with, both in terms of money and time.

I wish I had a PS3 either that or have this for xbox. My only source of TV is the internet.

This will only matter when there's good shows to watch. Sadly it's like the movie industry, there hasn't been good material for maybe 10+ years. As it is there's only 3 shows during the whole week that I watch besides the Sun night cartoon block on Fox.
We don't need non-gaming crap on the PS3. It's a waste of time and space.

I know this sounds crazy...but how about they let us watch regular Hulu? lol

That's awesome. Question does Hulu Plus have xplay and AOTS ? I already have an account on Hulu but, if they have seasons of xplay and AOTS I'll sign up for the plus service. and also If I have playstation plus is there any need to sign up for HuluPlus ? gamers and moderators assistance please :)...

It's kind of dumb that even if you do have a Hulu plus sub, you still can't watch regular Hulu content on it.

As soon as I get home I'm hooking up my PS3 so I can watch Grey's Anatomy! Will she ever find love?!
