This is interesting. Hulu is going to be launching a premium subscription service targetted at devices (i.e. not browser/flash-based). Two of the devices that will be supported are the Xbox 360 and PS3. Hulu Plus will offer full seasons (not just limited episodes like the web-based Hulu) of shows, and will cost $10. Unfortunately for owners of either console, it looks like that $10 will stack on top of your premium online console subscription (XBL Gold or PSN Plus).

As a nice bonus for PS3 users, it looks like Hulu will use a proper installed software solution rather than the idiotic "streaming disc" solution Netflix offers. So you'll just launch the Hulu program from the XMB and get to the streaming. No optical drive noise to bother you.

yeah, that's totally tempting as I seldom watch tv in the alloted time slots.

what I'm wondering is if they'll also have the stuff on there like Jack of Trades and a few of the shows that no longer air that they currently have.
