Subscription-Based 'Hulu Plus' Is Now Official
itwbennett writes "After months of rumors, Hulu officially announced its $9.99/month Hulu Plus service. Invites will soon start rolling out in weekly batches. So what will you get for that $9.99? 'Full access to a bunch of current shows (Hulu lists 40 but adds 'and more' to that list) as well as complete series collections of some older titles such as The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the wonderful and mostly-ignored Eli Stone,' writes blogger Peter Smith. 'HD content sources will be streamed at 720P but Hulu mentions that the service is ad-supported.'"
This Hulu services will apparently be available on the PS3 in July and the Xbox 360 next year... I would venture a guess that you could use on your laptop, desktop, and HTPC should you so choose.
Personally I've got a SageTV box built with a few TB of storage... Torrents are too much work... my time is worth more than the $$ savings a torrent provides.

The illegality of theft has been around since civilization decided to organize itself. Maybe we could chop people's hands off still? See it hasn't gotten worse, it's gotten better. Sorry you are a deadbeat and can't afford to buy music :(
