    To me Hulu Plus is kind of like Playstation Plus; that is, it's hard to see exactly the value as opposed to the free version.

    I'm not sure I'll be jumping on this one.

    About time, too. The only other things I use on Live are Lastfm and facebook, and that's not much. I also don't get tv reception in my room, so I'll be using this quite a bit.

    Well, I've got it. The trial is for a week, which you can extend to a month using your credit card. Some menus take a very long time to load, and some shows can still only be watched on your computer (the ones that say "web only"). I hope that gets ironed out soon. I got this so I can watch my cartoons on my TV instead of my laptop. *turns out I can! For the most part. And the longest I saw was 40 seconds. **It seems most of hulu's regular free content can't be watched on your xbox. wtf? Most of the movies are old, obscure, and (to me) stupid. But there's still plenty of TV shows, so that's good.
