Playstation 3 Discussion

[UGA14]

I subscribed to PS Plus. Pretty cool.

Anyways is that all of the supposed "source code?" Anyone could write that...

[I OU a Beatn]

True, but they confirmed yesterday you would need PS+ in addition to the $10 monthly fee to access it.

Hulu Plus For PS3 Doesn't Require PlayStation Plus After All

Streaming video service Hulu is coming to the PlayStation 3 this month in subscription form as Hulu Plus. And despite previous reports, you won't need a second subscription to Sony's PlayStation Plus service to enjoy it.

According to Hulu's support staff, a PlayStation Plus subscription is "only a requirement during the preview period" and will not be needed when Hulu Plus launches for the general, PlayStation 3-owning public.

Hulu Plus is currently available for the iPad and certain iPhone models, with the PS3 version expected to launch this month. An Xbox 360 version is planned for 2011 and a wider global expansion for Hulu's streaming content is in the works.

I still don't plan on paying the $10 a month but at least it's more manageable for anyone that chooses to.

I won't pay either, but I heard Hulu Plus still has ads.

That's ridiculous if Hulu Plus has ads.

That's why it's going to be $9.99 and not $14.99 or something like that.

Mark my words, Netflix is going to go up eventually too. The only good thing about it though is when it does, you'll gain access to new movies via streaming. A lot of bigwigs are already upset that Netflix offers so much for so little money.

I actually canceled my NetFlix the other day. I was surprised it was so easy.

The streaming service hardly ever updates and has a pretty poor amount of movies... especially compared to my OnDemand from TWC and my local video store rents all Blu-Rays for a dollar..

Yeah - when it comes to Netflix vs OnDemand it's really a question of quality vs quantity. You won't get those new releases on Netflix but they don't take a chunk of your wallet either. I don't mind what you get on Netflix but it's not spectacular by any stretch. OnDemand would be awesome if there was some sort of monthly subscription option.

Netflix supposedly will be able to offer better Instant Streaming options in the future because they signed some deal with a company that negotiates when movies are available to HBO, Showtime & the like. Basically Netflix should be able to offer some movies on Instant Streaming the same time that HBO will show them on TV... at least that was my understanding. Here's a link to the article on engadget:

Beatn you're right....this trophy sync is taking FOREVER .... about 12 mins in, 33%

It does. That's already been confirmed.

I told ya. Mine took over 20 minutes and I only had around 800 at the time. Sony needs a better system when it comes to keeping track of trophies. Auto syncing them and storing them on a server somewhere for instant access would be very nice.

Mine took well over an hour.

Thats because you guys are trophy whores. We need some redistribution of trophy wealth around here.

No....redistribution would be against the whore code.

[I OU a Beatn]

No....redistribution would be against the whore code.

...in which the penalty for doing so is death.

I still wish Minis had trophies

The zombie game wasn't a bad time-waster.

Whores deserve to wait.

Whores deserve to wait.

I just watched the Rays game on MLB Network and worked on editing videos for tomorrow while it was processing.

What kind of headsets do you guys use? I have a $50 gift card from Dell and I was looking at some of the Bluetooth headsets they had. Do all Bluetooth headsets work with PS3?
