very interesting. i'm glad these media outlets are finally starting to support consoles.

took them long enough

they were on ps3, but then one day changed it to block ps3's browser.

^but there wasn't a specific app for the PS3..... I think that's what they meant..... actually support specifically made for the consoles....not just though the browser.

[frosty]

well, hulu is an nbc thing. nbc and microsoft are very closely tied (MSNBC), so i wasn't surprised when i saw hulu drop ps3's browser from it's list of compatible browsers. i knew then it was headed to 360, and this confirms it.

it's an awesome service though, a definite selling point and smart move on MS' part.

^I've never used it before, but I've heard great things.. I'll have to check it out sometime.

That is shopped. The netflix logo is covered up and the Hulu logo is placed there.

I really can't see why hulu would choose such a terrible color scheme for the 360 and one that doesn't even match their websites?

[OG_Monkey]

oh true - netflix's app does have a red background

then lol at the desc : "some movies and TV shows" lmao that just sounds retarded

i think this wouldfall in line with the tv service that was rumoured to bunder work from ms a while back. this would fit in with that plan. still no live tv. but i gues they're trying to keep you at a distance.

[OG_Monkey]

live TV would be epic. They can totally do that with MSNBC since they're partnered.

I'd love to get Hulu ANYWHERE... but... it is not available here in Germany... I never get, why those companies never even TRY to cater to Europeans. And comparable German sites usually have the worst content, cost a boatload of money AND only offer Germany only content (and mostly German made too... which mostly just SUCKS).

[OG_Monkey]

I don't really think it's them to blame. It's just all the funky copyright laws with the people who own the content. Like the same reason some YouTube videos are blocked in some countries. Not YouTube's fault but the owner's.

[Segitz]

Of course, I know that... but why do those companies at least TRY in the US, but don't bother with Europe at all?? That sucks. We are like 15 years behind in web development, after the Japanese.

smaller market? i really don't know what i'm talking about but my best educated guess.
