Is there a list of exclusive titles? I want to know what to watch first before it's gone.

If Crunchyroll handles free trials the same way Funimation does (in that I used their free trial multiple times during the time I had problems with their site failing to charge my card for the subscription fee for months and I was too lazy to contact customer support), I can foresee many people just spamming them rather than paying. Failing that, they'll just watch Crunchroll's older anime off of some sketchy fansub site instead. Seriously, I don't think this is going to get many users that don't already have paid premium to go for it.

I don't think there is a list, since a massive amount of their catalog is over a year old. Just look up how old the anime you want to watch are.

...and a year later...

But in all seriousness, I'm glad to finally have this. Hopefully it'll be like their past console apps and not have the same playback issues as on the PC.

Now if Crunchyroll would just fix my xbox 360 versionIwoud be happy. For 2 weekks now Crunchyroll wil not load on my Xbox 360. It just says authenticatingand never loads up. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I havecaled both xboxlive and Crunchyroll and nether can fix it so far. Crunchyroll works on my pc but my pc speakers are busted. Crunchyroll also works on my PS3 but I hate the the way Crunchyroll is laid out on the PS3 and it aso stalls alot on my ps3. What isthe most annoying thig about it is that I bought a 1 year subscription a fewdays before this all happened. I know this has nothing to do with this. I just saw xbox and Crunchyroll and coud not stop myself from venting.

There is no list I am aware of, but you can basically eliminate anything from Aniplex and anything licensed by Sentai from being exclusives.

A question I raised over in the comments in the article at CR News (as this hadn't been mentioned yet in the forum there), was whether this just means titles that are exclusive in the US, or whether this will be handled on a country by country basis?

I wonder how this will work with titles which are licensed for outside the US?

Are all Crunchyroll apps (Roku, tablet) available for free users, or just this one?

Roku has always been available for free users. The Android (including OUYA) and iOS apps are available for free users, as is the one for Chromecast.

CR recently made the PS3, PS4, and Vita apps available for free users ( http://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-873551/crunchyroll-app-on-ps3-ps4-and-ps-vita-now-available-for-free-users ), but AFAIK, the 360 app is still premium only, along with the one for the Apple TV.
