Hulu Plus Launches on Xbox LIVE
Well, they promised it, and now Microsoft has delivered by launching Hulu Plus on Xbox LIVE. To celebrate the launch, Jack Link's Beef Jerky is unlocking Hulu Plus for all Xbox LIVE members (Free or Gold — but apparently North America only) from today, April 29, through Friday, May 6.
So there's an entire week to sample the content on Hulu Plus, after which you'll have to pay $7.99 a month. I always appreciate another option to stream content onto my TV instead of my computer monitor, but I seriously doubt if this free sample will sway me to shell out eight duckets a month to watch it... But hey — it's free now, and who doesn't like free stuff?!

Awesome!
Just tried it. After you download the program, they make you to sign up for a Hulu Plus account. So it's really no different than the free week computer users have been offered for a while.
I don't know if you have to give you credit card to get the free week, because when I found I I had to sign up, I quit out and deleted the Hulu data.
I wouldn't bother with this nonsense, especially if it's one of those deals you have to cancel after the trial, or risk being billed!
I'm watching Netflix, later.
The free week doesn't require a credit card, you just have to sign up for a free Hulu account. However if you do sign up for Plus with your card, the first month is free.

Good to know. I'm still not gonna bother, but thanks for the clarification.
