Rumour – PlayStation Plus needed for Hulu Plus PS3

Technologizer’s discovered that PlayStation Plus might be required for the recently announced Hulu Plus for PS3.

The source code from the Hulu site reads: “The instructions below will help you install Hulu Plus on your PS3. Note: you must be a subscriber of the PlayStation Plus Network.”

The source code from the website also shows a “PlayStation 3 Activation Procedure”, where users are asked to redeem a code onto the PlayStation Store to use the service.

Not to mention that when you put a year-long sub of PS Plus and how much Hulu costs per month together, it would come to $170 a year, as mentioned by Kotaku.

SCEA hasn’t formally revealed anything on how the service would work on PS3, nor has Hulu, but it did tell VG247 last night that details were coming “shortly.”

Well, seems the “free” services of PS3 will come to an end :p but hey it is obvious that seeing how much MS wins with the Live Gold that they would want to win some too, and they need to put something in PS+ that will atract people.

Hulu Plus comes to PS3 next month, with a 2011 release for Xbox 360.

Rumor: Hulu also coming to PS3

A few weeks ago, the rumor mill was abuzz with word that popular streaming television service Hulu was gearing up to make the jump over to Microsoft’s Xbox 360. Now, it’s whirred to life again – this time suggesting Hulu’s in talks with Sony as well.

Perhaps Microsoft has a one-month exclusivity deal on rumors now?

Apparently, it’s only a few drops of cement away from being set in stone, too. Bloomberg reports the partnership could be announced as soon as next week.

From the sound of things, Hulu’s PS3 deal may end up resembling its rumored expansion into Xbox territory – subscription fee and all.

As is typical with these sorts of things, Sony and Hulu refused to comment. Which, in all likelihood, is exec speak for, “Oh yeah, it’s definitely happening, but we haven’t decided which type font to use on the press release yet.”

So yeah. Next week, then.
