Given the absence of any other responses from The Hulu Plus Support, they have made it abundantly clear that they realistically don’t care about what their subscribers think or truly want. They are just going to do whatever they want no matter how much we complain. And then have the audacity to say we wanted it that way without showing any proof or data for it.

If what they say is true, about “taking [our] feedback to build the latest entertainment experience…,” then how about they show us their data! Otherwise, I’m calling BULL$HIT!

I have a complaint about the Favorites list on this new layout. Its only one row, and I cant brows it any other way than scrolling to the right. Once I choose a show, when I exit it, it goes all the way back to the beginning of the list making it virtually impossible to browse things in the middle to end of my list. It is very frustrating. I dont like that it is only 1 row, and I can only scroll to the right. Then it goes all the way back to the first show when I pick something, and I have to start all the way over again. So, if I want to look at 3 shows in the middle of my list, I have to scroll to 1 show, then go all the way back to the beginning, and scroll all the way again, then back to the beginning again. Sorry for my grammar. I’m writing this fast. I’m pretty frustrated in this. How could Hulu not notice this when they designed it. I should be able to access my favorites ealisy. This is terrible.

ok ill make this quick-
1. New update causes more issue than it fixes,
– Cluttered garbage trays eats away at bandwidth and can cause lag- the one before this is fine, why do u corporation idiots never hear if it aint broke dont fix it.
– Streaming Issues (and dont tell me it isnt happening its all over ur site) This one is huge, randomly it will buffer the show and then freeze the entire ps3 up, another thing it likes to do is the shows will stream fine and then the commercials will lag- this is freaking annoying, i swear no one bothers to test anything before releasing it anymore thanks to the invention of patches (looking at you bethesda) its like oh we screwed up, but dont worry we will release a patch soon thanks for ur money. You guys already proved ur stupidity before this releasing the xbox ver for kinect (stupid system btw RROD much?) and then one couldnt even show all ur content! Let me put out some constructive criticism, if it doesnt work – DO NO RELEASE IT TO THE PUBLIC!!

No, you A$$HOLES are absolutely right! Why would I want the old interface back when I can now scroll through your nonsensical “trays?!” I mean, having every and all subgenres in alphabetical order made WAY too much sense! I should thank you as well… instead of scrolling through what I want to scroll through, I get to scroll ENDLESSLY through random recommendations from all genres! I mean, it’s not like I can think for myself at all!

Also, you are correct to think that we consumers want three quarters of our Main page screen filled with the latest advertisements instead of actual content… I don’t know, like say our Queue and Favorites! I always wanted most of my screen filled with advertisements.

Pat yourselves on the back… and stick your heads further up your A$$ES if you don’t understand sarcasm.

Why is it that every time there is a major update for the PS3 version of Netflix that the remote ends up being broken? Hopefulyl it odesn’t take months before a fix is released like last time.

This update crashes my entire PS3 system every single time I try to resume a video. And I mean EVERY time. The whole system freezes and won’t respond to remotes at all.

Speaking of remotes, I’d also like to add that I, too, find the lack of support for the proper remote buttons really annoying, not just per se, but it’s also annoying that functionality was actually removed in an update. That’s not progress.

“PlayStation 3 is the first living room platform we are rolling out the new Hulu Plus experience on…”

Given the fact that the new interface looks awfully like the Xbox360 version, I highly doubt the above statement. If it is indeed an accurate statement, then it is lead to suggest that we’re your guinea pigs and will be left with the crappy prototype until you improve for other platforms. Gee, thanks.

Couldn’t just leave it alone, could you? Subscribers want more content, not more buttons to push and “trays” of thumbs to filter through to watch a video. And speaking of which…

“We’ve implemented a tray-style format that allows you to scroll through recommendations based on your viewing history, or check out popular shows and movies, the top 100 clips on Hulu Plus, movie trailers and more.”

I want to scroll through what I want to scroll through, not through a randomized mess of “recommendations!” Aside from the subgenres, there’s no coherency within your “trays.” Also, if I want to view clips, I’ll go to the clips section. I don’t need a useless “tray” of thumbs on the Main page that just clutters the screen. Simply what you have done!

Hmmm,

I never liked the Hulu interface on my brother’s Xbox360. Too cluttered and cumbersome. If that is how my PS3 will be, then there is a strong possibility I’ll be canceling my Hulu subscription in the near future. The interface is a make it or break it for me. And I’m not liking it now… :-/

Will the previous seasons of “House” be added sometime soon? What of “How I Met Your Mother?” Or “Beyond Scared Straight?” Will new shows like “North Woods Law” be added? New documentaries would be most welcomed as well.

Thank you. =)
