Because when hulu first started out they acquired licenses to allow streaming from your pc only. Now that they have expanded to other media extenders such as the xbox 360, they new need licenses to allow for it. While they expand, you can only view select shows from your xbox 360 even if you have hulu plus.lKoRuPT
True, that's what I read on their site, too. It's the same way for PS3 (and any other extender other than streaming it on PC).
I was really tempted to purchase a subscription until I found that a. the selection wasn't nearly as good as Netflix and b. most of the stuff was web onlyhillelslovak
That's what killed it for me, too. I thought about giving the trial a go b/c much of their anime selection was pretty freakin' tempting (plus they subbed ver., too)--that's was until I caught on to the whole 'most shows web-only' bit. Plus, their terribly slow w/ their broadcast of new animes as well. Why do I have to wait an entire freakin week to catch a delayed showing of the 'latest' episode of something like Bleach (to use an example) when my Crunchyroll Premium membership gives me access to same eps simulcasted in Japan in about less then 4 hrs after they've showed (though it's usually at about 4 in the morning east coast time...still that awesome quick)?
Pfft....nah, no thanks. I'll stick to my Netflix & CR (& a few other sites as well) for may anime fix. Netflix's anime selection, for streaming, is actually growing surprising fast, too. Maybe when Hulu gets their s*** together as far as having less restrictions then I might give them a try....until then, I'll pass.
I don't know about your first part. Yeah, I like Netflix, and that's why I have it, but Hulu has a little more shows, plus the ones Netflix has, but also the current seasons.Shock_T
Yeah true, but having the 'current' seasons to some shows don't mean much for s*** if you can't actually stream/view however you see fit (and thus only being relegated to watching it from your PC).
