2500 Hulu invites for Download Squad readers

Hulu
We've been talking about Hulu a lot over the last few months. The online video site is a partnership between NBC and News Corp, and contrary to our expectations, it actually doesn't suck. The videos are high quality, there's not too much advertising, and most importantly, there are a ton of shows, both current and older that you actually might want to watch. Hulu also manages to avoid one of our pet peeves with many online video sites. If you're watching a video in full-screen mode, the screen doesn't shrink every time a commercial comes on.
The biggest problem with Hulu? It's still in private beta, meaning many people haven't been able to try it out yet. We can't give out an invite to everybody who wants one... but Hulu has given us invites for the first 2500 Download Squad readers who sign up.
Just visit our Hulu landing page, enter your email address, and you should be all set. And before people start complaining to us, yes we know, Hulu is only available to US residents at the moment. But those of you who are clever enough to know what a proxy server is might be able to get around this limitation one way or another.

It was at about 900 invites left when I got in. Although I like surfthechannel.com more because it has a bigger selection, the quality at hulu seems decent and I really like the site; very 2.0, and hopefully this will pave the way to free streaming internet video with small commercials. I wouldn't mind that at all (really like the way some channels like nbc are doing eps online already).
