FOSTER CITY: Select PlayStation 3 owners can now access Hulu’s new subscription offering from their gaming consoles, with a wider rollout slated for the coming months.

Hulu Plus delivers a library of HD content from nearly 150 leading content companies for $9.99 per month. The series complements the more than 23,000 movies and TV episodes already available on the PlayStation Store. As of this week, a select group of PlayStation Plus subscribers will gain access to a preview version of Hulu Plus. All PlayStation Plus subscribers may download the free Hulu Plus application and then request an invitation to the exclusive preview.

"We are delighted to offer the Hulu Plus preview starting today on PlayStation 3 and that PlayStation 3 will be the only console to offer Hulu Plus in 2010," said Jack Tretton, the president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America. "The combination of Hulu’s premium video library and PlayStation Network’s expanding game and video catalogue further cements PlayStation 3 as the industry’s best entertainment device for all of your content experiences from games, TV shows and movies to live sports, original content and 3D."

Other PS3 users will be able to access Hulu Plus in the coming months.
