PS Vita getting Hulu Plus and Crackle video-streaming apps ‘soon’

Sony has just announced that Hulu Plus and Crackle apps will be available on the PS Vita “soon.” Both streaming video services are US-only, and have been available on the Playstation 3 for some time. Sony has been pushing apps on the Vita — Twitter, Facebook, and Foursquare all have a presence on the potent portable since launch or shortly thereafter. The two video streaming apps will join the recently-announced YouTube app for PS Vita, which will launch later this month. Hulu Plus and Crackle both appeared onscreen alongside mainstays like the MLB.TV, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu, Sony Music Unlimited, and a curious ESPN logo. We’re not going to assume quite yet that means that Watch ESPN or any of these other services are coming to the console, as Jack Tretton said “we’re bringing many of these services to Vita,” but we’ll be keeping an eye out.
