Hulu Plus Now Available for BRAVIA HDTVs, Coming to PS3 Next Week
Hulu Plus is the subscription service from Hulu that allows people to watch full episode lists of their favorite shows, whenever they want. The service was announced earlier in the year, and opened into a private Beta not too long ago, but it looks like Hulu is ready to pull the Beta tag off, and let access expand to anyone who wants to jump into the mix.

HTML5 May Just Have Won the Internet
Take a bit of notice and remember last spring when the talk of the town was the fact that Apple was pushing for HTML5 to be the standard for video on the web. Opposite what? Adobe's flash player. Where a year ago basically everything you saw as far as video was based in flash, now the standard has all but completely switched over to HTML5 - to a point.

Hulu Plus subscription slash imminent?
Hulu Plus was meant to put some cash back into the streaming video site's pockets, but it seems the $9.95 monthly subscription fee hasn't met with success. AllThingsD has heard that Hulu is planning to halve its fees - down to $4.95 per month - before the beta trial is even finished.

TiVo Premiere DVRs Adding Hulu Plus
Looks like the other rumors were true, too. After just hearing that the popular Hulu Plus service would be made available on the Roku boxes, TiVo just announced to the world that the Hulu service would be also made available on their TiVo Premiere DVRs, too. That means quite a bit of subscriptions to get your hands on Hulu Plus on your TV, but at least it's an option.

Roku Gains Content Partnership with Hulu
Today, Roku has officially announced that Hulu is coming to the Roku media streaming devices available in the market. It will be made available in the Hulu Plus variant, which means that if you want to get your hands on the media streaming service, you'll have to drop some money every month. But, the additional service to the media streaming set-top box does indeed put a new twist on the at-home media streaming services, and puts some question marks over the other set-top boxes available to consumers.

Netflix PS3 disc-free update coming; Hulu Plus is “a direct competitor”
Netflix are promising an update to their PS3 streaming client sometime within the next three months, complete with a new UI that's loaded onto the console rather than requiring a disc as with the current implementation. That's just one part of the company's attempt to take on the Hulu Plus challenge; according to NewTeeVee, Netflix are seeing slowing DVD subscriber growth as more users turn to streaming. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings puts that down, in part, to an increase in TV content.

Hulu Plus Could Bring Ad-Free Option to Customers, if You’re Willing to Pay for it
Considering most, if not all of the rumors about Hulu Plus came true, we're going to go ahead and point out that this one's probably going to come true, too. Especially considering the fact it's not so much of a rumor, but more of a "confirmation" from the Chief of Hulu himself, Jason Kilar. A confirmation that he's "comfortable" with the idea, that is. Not that it's coming.

Hulu Plus Requires PSN+ Only for Preview Period
Right on the heels of the official announcement from Hulu that Hulu Plus is real, came the down-right depressing news that PlayStation 3 owners would be forced with a decision: want that Season Ticket for all your favorite shows? Then sign up for PSN+ -- no ifs, ands, or buts about it. It may have not been a big deal to everyone, but there's always a few people out there that don't want to pay extra for something they're already going to have to pay for. Well, thanks to Hulu proper, we've got confirmation that everything isn't as it seems.

Hulu Plus on PS3 Could Mean Mandatory Subscription to PSN+
Yesterday, Hulu made waves with the announcement of the much-rumored Hulu Plus. A brand new subscription-based methodology to stream your favorite TV shows, whenever you want. For just $9.99 per month, you'll get your hands on the "Season Ticket," which will let you watch any episode of a particular season, with no expiration date (which is the general rule of thumb on Hulu right now). And, with that announcement, came the revelation that Sony's PlayStation 3 would be getting support as well in the near future. But, there could be some very important fine print not quite revealed.
