U.S. Xbox 360 owners, start your streaming TV engines. Hulu Plus lands on Xbox Live on Friday, April 29.
Hulu Plus made its Internet and iOS debut last summer and made its way to the PS3, Roku and TiVo last fall. Some Blu-ray players and TVs can also access the subscription streaming service, which gives users access to current and past programs with limited advertising for $7.99 a month.
Microsoft says it will be unlocking the service for all Xbox LIVE members for one week, ending May 6. After the week trial, users will need to be members of Xbox LIVE Gold in order to access Hulu Plus.
As with Netflix, the same Hulu Plus subscription can be activated on more than one device. This is nice for users who have an Xbox 360 in a family room or den and a Roku or Blu-ray player in the bedroom.
We’re not sure how Microsoft’s implementation of the Hulu interface differs from other Hulu Plus providers, but the company will allow users to control playback and content selection using Kinect gestures or voice commands. Voice-controlled Hulu sounds genuinely kick-ass to us.
