Posted August 16, 2014 Depends, Hulu = More TV oriented. Netflix = More movie oriented. So basically do you watch movies more or TV more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 16, 2014 Netflix streaming options are quite horrible. Sometimes we spend up to 2 hours to find a movie to watch -.- But yeah, as said above, Hulu is TV oriented, and Netflix is better for movies. WOW the ad at the botom of the page was for Hulu Plus Are you new? Please read CoC Before posting!

Idk what it does or if you have to pay for it, but I assume its another movie streaming service. eGPU Setup: Macbook Pro 13" 16GB DDR3 RAM, 512GB SSD, i5 3210M, GTX 980 eGPU New PC: i7-4790k, Corsair H100iGTX, ASrock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer, 24GB Ram, 850 EVO 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, GTX 1080 Fractal Design R4, EVGA Supernova G2 650W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 16, 2014 What person above said ^^^^^ You would need prime membership and not every movie and tv show is available on prime. Hulu is more for TV Shows Netflix is more for Movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 16, 2014 Author Depends, Hulu = More TV oriented. Netflix = More movie oriented. So basically do you watch movies more or TV more. I definitely watch a lot more TV shows than movies. So Hulu would be the best choice? Btw I have 6 months of free Amazon Prime membership once I start college Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Posted August 16, 2014 Does Hulu have all/most TV shows? It has quite a few, though I have not spent much time looking through their collections.

Posted August 16, 2014 I like hulu more, like others have said, it is more for TV people. I do not like spending 10 minutes finding a good movie, waiting another 30 minutes for it to get good when half of the times I end up not watching the movie because I was browsing the web while I was waiting for it to get good. person below me is a scrub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 16, 2014 I definitely watch a lot more TV shows than movies. So Hulu would be the best choice? Btw I have 6 months of free Amazon Prime membership once I start college Keep in mind that Neflix has several Netflix Original TV series that are FUCKING EXCELLENT. Orange is the New Black, as an example, is a fantastic show. I know with College you're on a strict budget, but netflix is what, $9 a month? I'd honestly suggest trying to budget out so you have both Netflix and Hulu. They're honestly complementary services because you get a lot of stuff on one that isn't on the other.

Posted August 22, 2014 Hulu has more television, but a lot of it is asian game shows, and english reality shows. I use Hulu for stuff that is currently on tv, and watch it the next day. They have most popular shows, and with plus you usually get the majority of the episodes available to watch. Keep in mind even if you buy the plus subscription you still have to watch the commercials. Netflix has way more movies, although they do have a ton of tv shows, and new seasons seem to be added around the time they are available on dvd. Keep in mind that Neflix has several Netflix Original TV series that are FUCKING EXCELLENT. Orange is the New Black, as an example, is a fantastic show. I know with College you're on a strict budget, but netflix is what, $9 a month? I'd honestly suggest trying to budget out so you have both Netflix and Hulu. They're honestly complementary services because you get a lot of stuff on one that isn't on the other. Orange is the new black, house of cards, and arrested development are a few of my favorite shows, definitely worth a look. You can look around at what you watch most and see where it is available (amazon, netflix, hulu). Another thing to keep in mind is with a Prime account you also get the glorious benefit of 2 day shipping. They have a lot of shows, however I find their apps, and the interface on the site to be not the easiest to use. They all have their pro's and con's which is why it is hard to recommend just one service.
