PS Plus NOT required for Hulu subs

July 6th, 2010, 23:47 Posted By: wraggster

Hulu has confirmed that PS3 user will NOT need to be PlayStation Plus subscribers in order to get Hulu Plus on their console.

Techie investigators digging through the source code of the Hulu Plus page found instructions on how to get the service up and running on Sony's console. Within that tutorial it apparently specifically said: "Note: you must be a subscriber of the Playstation Plus Network."

Hulu and Sony were staying hush at the time, but Hulu has now come out to confirm: "The Playstation Plus service is only a requirement during the preview period."

Hulu is currently in its beta-style preview period, although as Joystiq reports, the Hulu App is not available to every PS Plus subscriber.

Hulu says: "Once the preview period ends you should be able to download the Hulu Plus app but that will still require the Hulu Plus subscription. Right now we are limiting the number of users but Hulu Plus will be launching to the public very soon so stay tuned."

Hulu is a US-only TV streaming service. It's expected to go live to the PS3 public some time this month.
