paying to get on the internet, then paying again to play on the internet, and then paying to watch shows and movies on a console that a pc can do for free.

Hulu is add a subcription they have this for the PC as well, you pay to watch older shows, new shows will stay free. btw this is not fail, netflix does it too. Xbox live is 100% worth the money

I was blowned away when I found out that HULU was taken off Ps3 cuz M$ paid for it. I mean I understand that you pay for services/games/content to favor your system but to take it away from another? thats just wrong. Wat if M$ paid for Facebook and Twitter and then block it for the PS3? that would have ended well

$50 a year for party chat alone is worth it. It's really not that much money either, unless you're a kid with no job or don't have parents to suck up to lol

be prepared for a nonsense response that goes on about the 'principle' of not paying for something that should be free.

I think its worth it. microsoft saw the future, Hulu, youtube, facebook, have seen it to, they need to charge for something, paying for live is just like paying for hulu, you are paying to watch shows older than 5 eposides I believe, which is insane, but thats what happens when you get a large number of people using ur services

Pay $30 one time fee for play on and you get hulu, CBS, netflix, amazon vod, comedy central, you tube and tons of others with plugins to play on your ps3 on the tv. That's what I do and it works great!!!

Being able to watch a tv show you miss, or whenever you feel like it is a benefit of Hulu.

It'd be more like why would you use Hulu if you had a DVR or Tivo, but if you just have standard Cable (as I do) Hulu is beneficial.

Yup, having to pay for xbox live in general is pretty lame. They can add all the services that I already get for free on my pc that they want, it's not going to change that.

I have to disagree with you TC. Considering my job keeps me out of my apartment for a good 10-12 hours a day I do not really watch TV all that much. I would love to drop the FIOS TV that I pay $50+ a month for Hulu on my X360 for let's say $50 a year (not saying that is the price just trying to prove a point). Again this would be an OPTIONAL service that would be available to you if you CHOSE to pay for it, don't think it's worth it? Don't pay for it! That simple. Would love to see what the reaction would be/would have been if Hulu is/was announced for the PS3 or as part of the PSN Premium Service.

uber fail since if 360 had a browser and Hulu didn't intentionally block devices (ps3) then it would already have had this. I think it would be crap for MS to announce this and then claim ownage over it after it was already available before it was blocked on ps3.

The rumor is that Hulu plans to charge everyone not just 360 users. They just plan to announce it at E3.

no. Hulu will remain free on PC. Free newer episodes, if one wants to see old ones, will have to pay up.

You can't play online for free you need an isp.Pwned.No specific sentences =/= stupid comebacks :)

You need an isp for anything to do with online, it is a moot point. You need an isp to play on live as well, but that isn't all you need. You pay twice to play on live, and it's still a crappy p2p network at that, which isn't worth paying for no matter how you spin it.

Then soon, nobody will use hulu anymore. The only reason people use it now is because it's entirely ad supported.

k because it includes the PC. so your opinion wont change even though you believe that hulu is only charging XBL users? it was rumored that Hulu was going to do a subscription service before it was announced for the 360 and ipad

Microsoft is milking you for basic online play while Sony will still allow you to play online for free with some extra features, and you can not spin it in MS's favor in any way.
