We are all here as we love games so that is a domination and when my eyes or wife needs a rest Netflix's is a killer - spot on. So spot on that Hulu looks like a skinny poor cousin that I don't wish to give my pocket money to.
1) The software, at least on PS3, is buggy as fuck. I'll OFTEN get locked up during a commercial and never be able to get back to the show.
2) There are way too many commercials for a paid service. Free service OR ads, not both.
3) They are so concerned with people grabbing the video stream that the software doesn't buffer to hard drive, only to RAM. So if you get a connection blip for more than 2 or 3 seconds, video scrambles and pauses.
No, I think I'll just stick with Netflix.
