Hulu Plus on Xbox 360 Review: Same Skin, New Frontier

On April 29th Hulu Plus was released for the Xbox 360 video gaming console. Hulu connects the Xbox 360’s gaming experience with network television. It also brings a plethora of movies downloadable in one set top box. Hulu offers classic movie and cable television viewing with unlimited access. It is offered at a cost of $7.99 a month along with an Xbox Live Gold membership of $60 per year. Hulu’s on screen display is similar to Netflix. A queue, television/movie browsing, and searching features are all located vertically on the side of the screen. Some of the setbacks that come with Hulu include long clips during previewing, and a slight freeze in between navigating between panels. Also unlike Netflix it is impossible to search for certain points with in movies. Due to licensing regulations movie streaming is scarce. But all negativity aside Hulu still brings cable television closer to extinction.
