Gaming News - G4TV: Hulu Plus Coming To PS3 In July; May Require PlayStation Plus Sub

As announced yesterday, Hulu Plus is coming to your PC, iPod, game console and other devices. For $9.95 a month, you'll be able to watch Hulu's programming anywhere.

According to the Hulu launch trailer you see below, Hulu will be coming to the PlayStation 3 in July.

​

That's the good news... the bad news is below the cut.



It looks like Hulu Plus will require a subscription to Sony's new PlayStation Plus to work. The info comes from Technologizer, who located some source code on Hulu's site that reads:

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

It's not confirmed, but it looks like two different "Plus" subscriptions will be required to watch Hulu through your PS3. The grand total cost: $170 a year.

Before you get angry, consider this: Netflix requires a Gold membership on your 360, and when Hulu comes to Microsoft's system, it will require a Gold account as well. Speaking of Hulu on the 360, you're going to be waiting a bit to try it out: It's not scheduled to launch on the 360 until "Early 2011."

So, overall, is it worth it? If you're a two-system person, which subscription will you use?
