Hulu Plus goes invite-free, comes to PlayStation 3, Sony TVs and Blu-Ray players
Hulu has announced that it will start making its Hulu Plus subscription service available to anyone who wants to try it, removing the previously existing barrier of needing an invitation to subscribe. Hulu has also revealed that its service is now available on all 2010 Sony Bravia HDTVs, with more Sony connected devices -- including Blu-Ray players -- to get access soon.
Last, but definitely not least, starting next week, all PlayStation 3 owners in the US who have a PlayStation Network account will be able to download and subscribe to Hulu Plus. This availability will coincide with the release of an updated Hulu application for the PS3.
Hulu Plus costs $9.99 per month and, unlike the free, vanilla Hulu, Plus supports HD streaming, can be used on devices other than a computer (iPad and iPhone included), and has more episodes of each show available (whereas the free version is limited to the newest five). However, both Hulu and Hulu Plus serve ads.

odd comments so far. 10 bucks is alot cheaper than 65 bucks min. for cable. both have ads, they are called commercials.

Paid cable stations run promos for their other shows, not random third-party ads. If you're talking about basic cable channels, then, yes, they show ads even though you're paying the equivalent of a cellphone bill every month. But Hulu Plus should be benchmarked against the best (Netflix streaming) not the worst (cable), and Netflix costs a dollar less and has no ads.

Got a free 11 week trial of Hulu Plus when I bought my Sony Blu-Ray player. Totally unimpressed with it. They cram WAY too many commercials into each program. Generally 2-30 second ads every 10 min of play. Add another 30 seconds or so for loading ads and the program after each commercial break, and you get a very bad experience. And at the first of each program, it states it is brought to you with limited commercial interruptions. BS!!!
