Hulu Plus Now Invite-Free On PS3, BRAVIA HDTV
There's hardly anything better than "free." But "free access for all"
might just sound even better, especially if you're a PlayStation 3 who
has been waiting for Hulu Plus access. Up until now, having access to
Hulu Plus on your PS3 required an invite, so you had to be a member of
PlayStation Plus. Members of the free PlayStation Network were left out
in the cold.
But no more. Hulu has announced that they are moving on a plan to extend content options and get Hulu Plus onto more devices. Starting next week, PSN users will no longer need an invite to download Hulu Plus, but to use the service, they will have to pay $9.99 per month just like everyone else. But they'll have access to more and more television content, and it'll be available to them sooner than everyone else.
Also, all 2010 BRAVIA HDTVs from Sony are also getting access to Hulu Plus today, free of charge for the app, but of course $9.99 per month for the service. Looks like a good weekend for television, you know?
