Rumor: Hulu coming to Xbox 360

----------------------------

----------------------------

According to "a very reliable source", gadget site Gear Live is reporting that Microsoft is set to unveil a nice little surprise during its E3 press conference: the addition of TV streaming service Hulu to Xbox Live.

Requiring a separate subscription fee - just like Netflix - Hulu would let Xbox 360 users watch (most of) their favourite TV shows whenever they wanted. Only, instead of watching it on a monitor, they could kick back and watch it on their actual TV sets.

It'll hardly end the console wars, but the combo of Netflix and Hulu might be more than enough to persuade a lot of people to buy the Xbox 360 just for its media capabilities, games be damned.

Lost interest at "separate subscription fee", plus it's United States only.

UK never gets anything like this and i wouldnt pay extra if they did. I pay TV license and also a Sky TV fee (which is extortionate). If i forget to record a show on Sky+ i just find other free methods of watching it, after all ive paid my fees already not my fault i work and dont get around to recording and watching things when they are aired. Free services like the iPlayer and ITV Player should be done by more companies.

Hulu sucks anyway.
