It is certainly not most of those shows.
I still don't understand why producers don't go along w/ distribution like this. The alternative for most is not more nelson families watching your shows or more iTunes downloads, it is more torrents. |

There are a few rare exceptions like The Simpsons (which is produced by FOX) and doesn't get Hulu Plus treatment. Here is a list of all the content that is on Hulu Plus http://www.hulu.com/plus/content And if you scroll through it, you will notice it's all NBC, ABC and FOX shows that are produced by their studios. |
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Yeah, but look at the season/episode counts. Most of what I wanted to watch from those networks and produced by those Networks was only partially there. It wasn't worth it at all for me.

There's a few shows that post it's entire run like The Office, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Parks & Recreation. |

These shows are not on Hulu+ and/or relegated to 1-2 episodes on Hulu Free(i.e. won't work with the xbox): Fringe C.S.I. Hawaii Five-0 Chuck Big Bang Theory Smallville Community Mr. Sunshine Human Target Happy Endings How I Met Your Mother Burn Notice White Collar The Walking Dead Men of a Certain Age Sanctuary Mythbusters Sports Show with Norm Macdonald Phineas & Ferb Fish Hooks Only 4 showed up on Hulu+, albeit with limitations: Modern Family - 5 current episodes (all s2 episodes on Hulu Free) Friday Night Lights - 4 current episodes (all of s.4, and episodes 11-15 of s.1 :lol:) *should be noted it's already on DVD and kinda pointless for this one. Glee - complete current season The Office - complete current season So out of 24 Primetime(more or less) shows there are a whopping two shows that have all the current episodes available on H+. What a joke. |
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Entire current season is a pretty big difference than "most shows" don't you think?
I got value out of it for about a month, mostly from Nova, Peep Show, and some other British stuff. But they have a long ways to go I think. |

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
I get that, but for a service advertising all the great TV for $8 a month, it's smoke and mirrors. Oh, it's produced by x, or it's on y network. You want it on your xbox? Oh you can't do that, Why? You just can't, because we said so. You want our free content on your media device and tv? uh-uh, think again. Why would you want to watch tv shows on your tv? Get real, loser.
Like I said above, the idea of a single hub to collect/offer streaming/on demand television is a great idea... a great idea that has yet to be realized in a practical and workable fashion. |

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
I just mean you didn't say most currently airing shows and their current season only. Most shows aired by those networks/prod companies implies a lot more content.

I'm just saying for the networks/studios that are choosing to participate and the people who watch the content on those networks, It's content is valuable for whatever reason you need it for like catching up on the current season etc. |

Believe it or not, I'm not begrudging the service though. If someone finds value in it, then great. Call me disappointed (especially after this discussion). It's a great idea on paper, but as it stands, it falls far below the line of what it could be based on all the limitations and restrictions. As it stands, I'll take my month and watch this season of the Office since I had scheduling conflicts this year and get caught up for next season. Oh, and is that Kiefer Sutherland show on Hulu+ or just the freebie service? |
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
So Hulu+ is like Game Room?
|
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
It's probably not fair, but I think hulu+ is really hurt by having a better free web version. It makes it hard to swallow, especially as they didn't drop adds either.

Why watch TV at all? To many good video games to play.

That's fair and would be great if it were 1970 and there were still only 3 networks. Nobody only watches 3 channels anymore. There are hundreds of channels with plenty of content worth watching. Paying $8 a month for an average amount of content from said 3 channels/companies doesn't seem worth it, IMO. The networks should be working together on this for an uber-service. I know they like money and there are people like me ready to give it to them, so why so much red tape and lack of participants? It's baffling.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
I agree with Corvin. I really like what Hulu+ tries to do. It's great in theory. Commercials are completely uncalled for, I would pay more than $8 to get rid of them, not sure how much.
And the content just isn't comprehensive enough. With Netflix gaining a lot of ground on catalog/archive show collections, Hulu+ seems redundant with NF and web-Hulu. |
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Hulu+ does have that Criterion Collection contract, though. That could be pretty tempting for a lot of people.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
I did download the software today on my Xbox and played around with the interface and it's very similar to Netflix. I also have a Sony BD Player that allows Hulu Plus streaming and the interface on XBox is alot smoother. Obviously I like being able to stream the ABC, NBC and FOX shows in HD, but it also allows you to pick up where you left off. If you can't finish an episode on my Sony BD Player, you will have to start over the next time you turn it on. I noticed on the Xbox, you can pick up where you left off.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
That's weird, but I guess my BD players tend to have the worst interfaces. I'm pretty sure the Roku could resume.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Looks like the 5% back for XBox Rewards members did not return this month. :(

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
That sucks. It would have been a nice constant and be surprised with bonus rebate months.
Related, it seems like the daily Gamer IQ challenge has officially run out of questions because every one today was a repeat. |
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
I swear, I don't know how they come up with some of the categories for these Avatar Collections. I went to the Vegas Show collection, thinking I might find something appropriate for a Vegas local like myself. Along with the :up: Elvis jumpsuit, I found this, which is not only completely unrelated to Vegas, but seems more appropriate for a pasty ginger from Oklahoma.
