Hulu + PS3 = No More? - Blu-ray Forum

Is it just me or does Hulu no longer work on the PS3?

Still works for me, kinda. It took a really long time for it to start playing though and I didn't see the 'loading' screen as normal. Still can't get the 480p version to work correctly. Plus you can't even login.

I really wish Sony would give us a decent browser. The limitations it has are really becoming annoying.

Hulu is awesome and I REALLY hope that Sony comes out with something to make things work better wit that. I would like to watch a TV show through the internet, through my gaming console, and on my TV... just living the concept of a full circle would make me happy

If you're a big fan of Hulu on the PS3, I'd strongly suggest trying PlayOn, since last I checked they fixed all of their Hulu issues (480p works, shows all episodes of a series, etc). With the 480p option and transcoding quality set to high, it looks as good if not better than it did in the browser window.

Yes, you need a halfway decent WIndows machine and I wish Sony would build PlayOn's functionality into the firmware, but... it works well enough now.

Oh, and it adds netflix streaming.

It stopped working?

What a joke.

I watched it yesterday, it took a long time to load the videos. Just let it sit for a minute or two.

=1 Playon rocks you only get 21 days for free I think and then its a one time $30 charge but it works perfectly unless something better comes along this is the best media server out there for the ps3.Tversity should have hulu soon too.

Nothing changed on the PS3 browser since it worked, therefore, more than likely, something at Hulu must have changed.
