Hulu or Netflix?
i'm thinking of only going with one of these after my 1 week Hulu free trial is over.
Which is the better service for digital content in terms of quality and quantity?

Original movies, shows, definitely get Netflix if you're only getting one. They have the Marvel shows, House of Cards, Orange is the new Black among the most notable. They're spending $6B on new content this year.
Hulu is mainly known for watching current TV on NBC, ABC, The CW and FOX.

Just get both, they compliment one another very well.

Up until a few months ago, I would have said Netflix. But I've been in love with Hulu ever since the commercial-free option.

You don't have Netflix?

They're gift cards that are sold in stores and included in boxed deals (ie: new TVs / media players), there are some shady fuckers selling them too.
I haven't had an issue.

Quality - Netflix. Hulu only does 720p and 2.0 sound. While Netflix is DD+ 5.1 and 1080p.
Content - they really are not even the same thing. Hulu is mainly current TV seasons. While Netflix is older content plus an increasingly buzz worthy slate of original shows. Most of which are up to par with what you find on HBO.
So for 20 bucks do both if you can. There is very little overlap.

I think it happened to me because I bought too many and they noticed me. In any case, I think I'm done with those assholes.

Re: Hulu or Netflix?
I think it depends on who you buy the cards from and if you try to abuse it and stack them. Just look at the feedback on the seller. Stacking the cards looks very suspicious meaning buying 2-3 of those cards and trying to pad your account for 2-3 years.

I've done the cheap gift card once and have had no issues. I paid $20-something for it. I noticed a seller a few months ago had them for $12 or so. I steered clear because I didn't want to "stack"a code on to my current subscription and that price seemed so low that I figured it would cause problems.

Yeah, stacking them was a big mistake. Now I figure if I ever try it again they'll flag my account.
I did get a refund from eBay, but since it was purchased in CAN, I ate about 30% of my purchase in exchange rate and looked like a bad buyer in the process.

I noticed a $16.50 seller who couldn't accept payments and a $16.99 seller with a bad feedback that the buyer's account was blocked. I bought a second one from the same one I bought the first one from, $22.99. Mine expires in about 5 months (I have it frozen until Grey's restarts) but the second worked great also.
These are "$100 giftcards." Wonder when I restart it if I could get Showtime added. That means that for $46 a year I'd have Hulu and showtime.

Personally for me I just add Netflix 2-3 months then put it on hold/cancel for the rest of the year because aside from OITNB,Bojack Horseman and their Marvel shows the only original series aren't really that good(Hemlock Grove/House Of Cards are basically Showtime quality fake highbrow trash)and their movie selection has a lot of stuff I think most people have seen years ago already.
Either way though if your someone who likes to sample a lot of new things both services have a shitload of content

Re: Hulu or Netflix?
I bought four cards and stacked them two weeks ago. I wasn't aware this was something Hulu would deactivate the account over. How long ago did this happen to you, Decker?
