Hulu's Plus subscription service on Thursday got rid of its invite-only requirement, and became widely available nationwide. Hoping to further accelerate adoption, Sony's Playstation 3 is expected to being offering the premium video streaming service next week. "All PS3 owners with a PlayStation Network account, which is free, will be able to download and subscribe to Hulu Plus," Hulu's Rob Wong said in a statment. "This will also coincide with an updated PS3 application that incorporates some of the feedback we've received to date." As Wired.com notes, "Hulu Plus first became available as an app for the PS3 in July, but only for some PlayStation Plus subscribers."
