Do you find that Hulu Plus provides content that you don’t get on Netflix and AP?

I currently have the latter two and there is a lot of overlap. What distinguishes what Hulu Prime offers? I’ve been thinking of adding it but it seems like I wouldn’t get significantly more content than NF+AP.

Hulu Plus has more TV shows; Netflix has the movies.

Hulu Plus still has commercials, so I would lean towards Netflix.

Actually, after re-reading your post, I would get Hulu Plus and Netflix, and ditch AP, because you still have to buy movies on Amazon. AP does have a great movie selection though, far superior than Netflix.

HuluPlus is good for carrying currently running content and acts like a DVR. They carry a good deal of content from Fox (broadcast), ABC, NBC and some other networks I like including Comedy Central and a few others. CBS is not represented at all really.

Netflix and Amazon Prime have a good deal of the same content but sometimes Netflix has a TV series free whereas you have to pay for it on Amazon.

Redbox Instant, Target Instant also seem to carry the same movie content as Netflix and Amazon.

Netflix's main advantage is simply that they carry more content however the quality of the excess stuff is surely questionable.
