Over at www.Bloomberg.com there is an interesting little piece of information on the PlayStation 3 getting Hulu, and it might actually be happening soon. Here is a little of what Andy Fixmer said:
“Sony Corp. is close to an agreement to carry a paid TV service from Hulu LLC on its PlayStation 3 video-game console, two people with knowledge of the talks said.
The partnership could be announced as soon as next week, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the arrangement hasn’t been made public.
PlayStation 3 owners who register for the console’s free Web service, the PlayStation Network, will be able to subscribe to a planned Hulu pay service, giving them on-demand access to current prime-time television shows from NBC, Fox and ABC, the people said. Hulu is also in talks to put the service on Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox, Reuters reported previously.
Patrick Seybold, a spokesman for Sony’s PlayStation Network in Foster City, California, declined to comment, as did Christina Lee, a spokeswoman for closely held Hulu. The website plans a $9.95 a month subscription service, the Los Angeles Times reported previously.”
Netflix and Hulu on PlayStation 3…I am getting excited about this. Very excited.
PlayOn is officially dead to me if this happens.
TPointsAgreed, this would make playon practically useless. I would only need it for shows on cbs like “how I met your mother”.
TPointsCable and satellite keep seeming less and less relevant.
TPointsFrom the mouth’s of damned babes, but truer words were never spoken. I want to see what if anything I am getting for the extra cost. My fear is this is free hulu, for the low low price of pay hulu.
