After an agonizingly long few days of waiting, Hulu has let me into the preview for Hulu Plus. Cue the trumpets! Is it all I dreamed it would be and more? Frankly, no.
Here’s the basics of what you need to know. First off, the preview period is more of a 30 day free trail. You have to provide a credit card in order to qualify and are warned that you’ll be charged if you don’t cancel before your 30 days are up.
Spoiler alert! (more…)
Yes, you have to be invited (for now), but holy crap, the long rumored subscription based Hulu Plus is real.
$9.99 a month gets you access to full seasons of TV shows on all sorts of devices, support currently includes the iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, some Samsung TVs / Blu-ray players, and various game consoles and set top boxes will be supported later this year. Did I mention it’s all in HD? And If Hulu can just get some current movies added in there Netflix might have some competition. And remember kids, competition is good.
Also, the only device I care about being supported is the iPad, I’ve been using Hulu on my TV for years.
Now what are you waiting for! Hit up this link to apply for access and let us know if you get in!
Hulu is set to go public tomorrow, during the course of the private beta they’ve added quite a bit of content from various networks and content partners… here’s the full list their content partners.
If you haven’t heard of Hulu, chances are you are either on a dial-up connection or living under a rock, in which case, kudos for reading this blog under your rock.
Anyhow, I have 9 invites to the private beta of Hulu, so leave me a comment with your email if you want an invite.
