what the hell is Hulu, anyway? meh, not a loss for me, I never use the internet browser on my PS3, and, come to think of it, I don't do much online stuff on the PS3 period.
Hulu Snubs the PS3

O RLY? You like FF7 I would never have guessed...duchaked said:
I agree a lot of companies have been putting down the hurt on SONY. Which either means its a giant corporate conspiracy and Bill Gates actually owns Hulu or PS3 has pissed these companies off in some way. One of these is more likely than the other....
Seeing that Hulu is already snubbing 95% of the world's population with it's US-only viewing restrictions, cutting out PS3s is a tiny additional factor scarcely worth noting. At least in my opinion, anyway.
(Dammit, I do want to use Hulu... it looks to be an interesting service. Pity I'm 80km (50mi) on the wrong side of a border.)

You can play FF7 on a PSX, I would hope you have a better reason for owning a PS3.duchaked said:
I love conversations like these... because they are so adorable in the way they illustrate people's blind, unfathomable hatred for Sony.Ushario said:
But to clarify a few things:
1. I'm not a Sony Fanboy, I'm just an independent thinker. That, and well, I grew up in the kind of generation that didn't quite trust everything they read in a paper, much less in some blurb on the internet.
2. How exactly do you know WHAT those "unnamed parties" took a look at or for that matter how can you be sure they even EXIST? See, thats the big problem with 'independent investigations by anonymous sources"... the fact that the sources are "unnamed" should send up red flags. How do you know those sources aren't the "The Association for Sony Haters" or "Microsoft"? If it were, would that change anything?
3. No statement from Hulu means this is ALL conjecture. Until HULU says officially "we aint gonna let no PS3 show none of our videos no more", there my opinion is just as valid as yours.
4. How does me blaming Sony for potentially F*#&ing up their browser in an update being the possible cause for this classify me as a "asshurt fanboy?" exactly who am I a fanboy FOR? Thats like me saying that Xbox had RROD problems makes me a fanboy. Geez, did you even think about that before falling back on the time-old discredit tactic of labeling people?
5. On that same line of thought, how is positing a counter theory that is a.) reasonable and b.) possible constituted as "bitching"? Sony's recent firmware DID have bugs. That just fact. You do like facts don't you?
Oh wait, apparently not.
No, Hulu is only available in the US. Something about copywrite laws, I guess the "Commonwealth" and Europe have stricter laws or something.z121231211 said:
Specifically, it was Engadget changing browser strings to simulate a PS3. Happy now?HyenaThePirate said:
To "simulate" a PS3? Why didn't they just USE a PS3?nilcypher said:
Why were they simulating that anyway? Why didn't someone just pick up a phone and ASK someone at Hulu?
Again, I'll wait until we have more information before I jump on the "Hulu is teh Evuls! LOL!" bandwagon...
Your in luck, they are making a whole new film franchise!, staring Shia TheBeef as Hannibal, and Megan Fox as The Face. Isn't that exciting?Jumplion said:
On topic, maybe Sony will have their own purpose built delivery system, just like the firmware in that you can't do anything for 3 days while Family Guy loads up.
chances are they did phone Hulu up, but were met with bland non offensive stock marketing response, like "Hulu is dedicated to providing the best service to its customer vase"HyenaThePirate said:
edit, I meant base!, I'm not changing it because I like the sound of "marketing vase", now I need to decide what accent to say it out loud in. VARSE! VAISE?
I am Australian, therefore I can't use Hulu anyway. Vidzone on the other hand is a service I CAN use, so I watch that instead.
Moving on...
