Must be one invite code to a customer so a code can't be used twice I guess. Plus it says refferal code not invite on that page. Must be a different page for invite input.
Worked for me...
I found the code with a Google search...

So did you get immediate access to the entire catalog by going to the invite page and using this code?
Nope...just got a confirmation that I was on the invite list and that I would be contacted soon.....
If you believe the Twitter page....I guess I will get a couple months free? A trial? Don't know...
Are you sure you really read it? The code is for signing up for a proxy site for people in Germany who want to use Hulu and Pandora.
I got a preview invite from Hulu yesterday and while the picture quality is impressive on the iPhone, iPad, and full screen in 720p on my television via PC, there are still bugs to be worked out (probably why it's a preview).
I've had videos stop playing once hit hits a commercial and I've had commercials play over and over in a continuous loop.
Not all hulu videos are considered hulu plus content. A great example is It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is not available on Hulu Plus.
The audio is not surround sound and the iPad interface could be better
But with all that said I don't know what compression tech Hulu is using but the video quality over 3G is excellent and this is about as close to video on demand from any device at any time that we have gotten from any product including Netflix.
Overall spending $9.99 isnt ideal and there is not enough content to make you dump your cable or satellite provider but Hulu Plus is the first step towards a true video on demand IPTV solution and for now will serve as a great supplement to your normal day to day media consumption.

Can you subscribe to it BEFORE you get the invite. I see no invite yet. 
Here is what a Hulu rep wrote me after a requested a code.

Hi,
Thanks for writing. I'm glad to hear you're excited about Hulu Plus! We're trying to accommodate as many users as possible, but still have to limit the number of subscribers to ensure the best experience as we ramp up capacity. We appreciate your patience during this time -- and remember, you can still enjoy lots of content for free on Hulu.com!
Please feel free to write back if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Anton

Sucks..some got theirs fast and I hope I get a code!

not looking to advertise or get hits so I wont name my site but I am a blogger and a podcaster and Hulu sent out preview invites to members of the media so I was able to get in early.
The thing that impresses me the most is the picture quality over 3G, I am watching an episode of Glee on my iPad via 3G and I have to keep reminding myself that this is on 3G, the pic quality is THAT good.
Thank god I kept my unlimited plan with AT&T!
I got my Hulu Plus Invite, here are my impressions.
I'm not sure where people are getting the "video looks great" impressions. It's very pixelated, stutters and sometimes after commercials the video lags while audio maintains. And this happens both on full bar 3G and my home wifi network...it's not "unwatchable" but it's no where near impressive in my opinion.
Also, if I'm paying $9.99 why can't I access all of hulu AND the hulu plus content on my iPhone?? I think that's ridiculous! Hulu needs to get on that stat.
I'm really not impressed also by how many shows are only offering one season. Why am I paying extra just to see the last season? I don't understand the networks only licensing one season. Do they not realize that offering all seasons opens it up to people who would watch the old content and then start watching the new content?

WOW, I have an invite and my experiecne has been flawless, I watched the entire season of The Office on it(US version), and never once had a quality or any issue with audio or video, maybe your connection is just one big turd??
I have nothing but praise for this app and the service. Literally all my fav shows are at my fingertips now.
If I could access Hulu in general that would make my life so much easier. I live in France and it's so annoying when I read about all these new shows on the web and can't watch them. France is always a season behind on all the shows and it drives me crazy.
I don't understand all the technical aspects but if I have full bars doesn't that by definition mean my connection is the best it can be??
My home wifi is Comcast, which I've heard isn't great. But I've noticed something curious and wondered if anyone else saw this too.
Curiously, the ADS consistently look like they are way higher quality video than the actual shows. Isn't that strange? Seems strange to me why I am getting a crappy video quality during viewing but as soon as the ad pops on it's like voila! I'm clear!

After much more time with Hulu Plus, I will say...it's actually turned out pretty awesome. I don't have any stutters or video issues anymore and at time I find myself watching Hulu Plus in bed rather than turning the mediocre tv in my bedroom on at night. Though paying another 9.99 a month is not ideal, I am definitely using it for all it's worth! I watched the entire firtst season of Modern Family and Glee before the new seasons started and caught up with some Bones, 30 Rock and The Office that I missed watching last spring. Highly recommended!

Hulu is awesome, I use it on both of my ps3's , my iPhone and my computer and for $8 a month (it's not $10 a month anymore) it's way cheeper then cable. I took my cable boxes back and I get to watch whatever I want when I want. The quality is great and it's only gonna get better.
