Hulu announced last week the launch of Hulu Plus, a premium version of the popular streaming site that will cost $10 per month.
Buyers of the subscription get expanded content, and the ability to play the shows on their HDTVs, Blu-ray players, Xbox 360 (with Gold subscription), PS3 and iPad and iPhone.
Hulu Plus gives users season passes for most current shows, which is a massive improvement from only being able to watch the trailing five episodes of a given show. You will also be able to watch back seasons of the shows.
The major complaint of the service, so far, is that there are still ads, just like in the free version.
Today, CEO Jason Kilar says the company is considering offering a more expensive version of the service, one that will completely ad-free.
Kilar also noted that there would be "many" models for the distribution service, but did not elaborate.
Any ad-free model would likely cost $15-20 per month.
