Jul 15 2010, 7:30am CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

Sony and Hulu, an online video service offering an expanded selection of television shows and movies, announced that the Hulu Plus preview is now available on the PS3 in the United States with the consumer release of Hulu Plus available to all PS3 owners set to occur in the coming months.
The Sony PS3 is the first and only console with dedicated gaming functionality that will offer Hulu Plus in 2010.
Hulu Plus will deliver a library of high-definition (HD) content including full seasons of popular TV shows and blockbuster movies from nearly 150 leading content companies.
Content on Hulu Plus is complementary to the more than 23,000 movies and TV episodes already available on the PlayStation Store.

"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, president and chief executive officer, Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC. "The combination of Hulu's premium video library and PlayStationNetwork'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."

A select group of PlayStation Plus subscribers will gain access to a preview version of Hulu Plus for an additional $9.99 per month. All PlayStation Plus subscribers may download the free Hulu Plus application and, within it, request an invitation to the exclusive preview.
