Report: Sony closing in on Hulu deal for the PS3

Sources close to Bloomberg have revealed that Hulu will soon be making its way to the Playstation Network in the form of a paid subscription. Sources requested not to be identified as the announcement is yet to be made public.

According to the source, users subscribed to PSN would be able to subscribe to a Hulu service that provides on-demand access to current and past seasons of prime-time TV shows from NBC, Fox and ABC. The subscription fee is expected to be around $9.95 a month and an announcement is expected as soon as next week.

Hulu also is in talks with CBS Corp., Viacom Inc. and Time Warner Inc. to add their TV shows to the website’s subscription service to provide even more content.

As expected, both Sony and Hulu LLC declined to comment on the matter when contacted. Hulu has long been rumored for the Xbox 360, and an announcement was due at this year’s E3.
