When Hulu Plus launched a few weeks back, there was some initial device compatibility confusion – specifically, regarding the Sony PS3 implementation and compatible Samsung Blu-ray players.
Fortunately, at some point, the Hulu folks updated their supported devices webpage to bring some clarity to the situation. And they’ve confirmed that a PlayStation Plus subscription ($50/yr) is required during the Hulu Plus beta (invite only). Additionally, what was positioned as Hulu Plus integration into all current Internet-connected Samsung Blu-ray players has (thus far) turned out to be a single, higher-end model: the BD-C6900, ~$300.
While I’ve bought into Hulu Plus, I’m currently between PS3s and not quite committed enough to pony up for that particular Blu-ray player. So, until lower-end units are supported (or better yet, my Xbox 360 in 2011), I’ll be evaluating Hulu Plus via iPhone. (Thanks, Adam!)
