Hulu Plus For PlayStation 3, Invitation-Free

Today Hulu’s Plus subscription service is available to anyone in the US willing to pony up ten dollars per month, no invitation required. Next week, Sony’s Playstation 3 will be the first dedicated video gaming console offering the service to all its users.

“In the next week, all PS3 owners with a PlayStation Network account, which is free, will be able to download and subscribe to Hulu Plus,” writes Hulu’s Rob Wong. “This will also coincide with an updated PS3 application that incorporates some of the feedback we’ve received to date.”

Hulu Plus first became available as an app for the PS3 in July, but only for some PlayStation Plus subscribers. So you had to pay Sony, get an invitation to Hulu Plus, and then pay Hulu. Starting next week, two of those three barriers will be down.

Soon, Hulu Plus will also be rolling out to net-connected Sony Bravia TVs and Blu-ray players, TiVo Premiere and Roku boxes, and Vizio TVs. It’s already available for computers and iOS devices. The pay service streams in 720p HD and offers a wider selection of current-season and backlist TV titles than Hulu’s free site. On the Hulu device page, service for Microsoft Xbox 360 is listed as “coming soon.”
