Hulu has announced that they will be bring their hit video service to XBL early next year.

Two little things though in order to use the service.
1. You must be a Gold member
2. The service will run you $9.99 a month.

Let's do some math.
1 year of Live = $49.99 x 1
Hulu Plus = $9.99 x 12
________________________
Grand total = 169.87

That's $ 170.00 dollars a year to watch Hulu on your Xbox.

Not like Hulu is available in Canada anyways (like every other service) so this has no bearing on us :D

Yeah tell me about it... That really pisses me off. I click on a video online and Hulu is all like, no way, you're Canadian... Piss off.

Exactly like in america trying to use Vidzone on the PS3, I could be on my european account, I can't even start the thing because it checks then slaps my IP because it's not a european IP.

I think I will just stick to watching Hulu on their website. You think M$ could just roll it all into one service.

I'll just keep my netflix and surf hulu.com for free, don't feel like paying for yet another service.

I have had the Xbox 360 for almost three years and have only bought 5 games new from the store.

Exactly! lol I bought a little more brand new, but I shop used most of the time, it's just cheaper, I've had mine since launch and I bought maybe ten or fifteen brand new games, most of my collection is used from gamestop lol.
