Hulu Plus has a nice ring to it, especially if you own an Xbox 360 or an Apple iPad, those are the devices according to Reuters that will first receive the companies new service which has been rumored for quite some time now.
According to today’s report, Hulu is actively preparing the product for launch with Apple And Microsoft products set to take the front seats for the product with no other companies announced at this time.
Using Hulu Plus users will be able to pull up older episodes of their favorite shows, while still watching new episodes free of charge. The opt-in option for older episodes should offer a nice hook to Hulu, especially when users become addicted to a show mid-run and are dying to see what they missed in order to make sense of character arcs.
No exact plans have been adapted yet, but I love my Netflix subscription, so far I’ve watched 5 seasons of Lost (the other two are not yet available) plus watched numerous movies, if Hulu offers a nice plan I’ll more than likely take the bait…goodbye cable?
