Sony said to be wrapping up deal for PS3 Hulu photo

The word is that Sony and Hulu are in talks, and that an announcement could come as early as next week on a paid TV service for the PS3.

Those with knowledge of the talks tell Bloomberg that PSN members will be able to subscribe to a Hulu pay service, giving them access to the same stuff that the Xbox 360 fans were bragging about last week.

Sony has declined comment, as has Hulu, says Bloomberg.

Think about it: Why wouldn't Hulu want their pay service on everything possible? I hope this does go down for all consoles -- Hulu is awesome.

... probably won't be available in Canada (though I guess we're finally getting PSN video service starting next month).

wasn't this the same rumor that Microsoft had like a month or so ago? When I see a Sony/Hulu rep say something conclusive I'll listen.

*in 50's voice* Gee whiz! If Hulu becomes free for PS+ subscribers, this would surely be swell!!
Btw, Elsa, you're Canadian?? I thought Canadians say "Eh" after every sentence.

Or since you are setting at your PC right this very moment you could watch shows on Hulu for FREE.

Shitty. I remember being extremely impressed with the ps3's ability to watch Hulu from the browser, and then they had to go and mess that up.

If it's included with PS+ I will love it, if it's an extra fee, I'll ignore it.

I usued to be able to watch hulu on the PS3 for free last year. It was nice. Now it comes back as a paid service? WTF? Most people who own ps3s got a PC, where they can watch it for free

Sony needs to drop the deal and instead change the default browser to say Firefox or Chrome or any other one where HULU could not instantly block it. Then you can watch it for free.

Who the hell is going to pay to watch a free service, anyone that does is a fucking super moron.

I've heard about none of this, just ESPN.

Hulu apps should work like Netflix - one subscription should allow you access to upgraded services on PC.

If that isn't how it works, then I'd like my Hulu app on the ONE chosen outlet I get had better have every option under the fucking sun available to me right from the get-go.

Considering I have both consoles, I am not paying more for a free online service. Screw that.

I think it's VERy unlikely that this will be coming to Europe, so if it's part of the American PSN+ deal, and not the UK one i will be disappoint.

However if it's part of the Euro PSN+ Or even just available in Europe I will be happy bunny.

I would not pay for this. It's preposterous to ask us to pay for Hulu on the PS3 when it was free less than a year ago and very usable then. I'll stick with paying for Netflix. At least it carries over between consoles easily enough and the content is plentiful enough to make up for the less than new title selection.

I'd hope this also goes down a la the Netflix model and we get this on all consoles with a subscription that covers all three. That, plus a better idea of the scope of the paid content, would make this much more appealing to me.
