Hulu has debuted its much-anticipated Hulu Plus, with an invitation-only preview of the $9.99 monthly subscription model, for access on a range of devices.<\/p>\n

You may be a big fan of popular web video service Hulu, but are you a big fan of paying $9.99 a month for it?<\/p>\n

The streaming service debuted its Hulu Plus upgrade, which has been in the works and rumor mill for a bit. The service is being offered for starters as an invitation-only preview.<\/p>\n

From your reaction in a poll on Electronic House last month, the verdict is still out on whether or not you\u2019ll bite\u2014when asked \u201cIs $10 too much for Hulu Plus?\u201d 42 percent said yes, only 20 percent said no, and 38 percent said it depends on the content.<\/p>\n

Well, for starters the content is said to be expanded catalogs of television shows, past and present, from the libraries of NBC, Fox and ABC.<\/p>\n

That means \u201cseason ticket\u201d access to full seasons of current hits like House, Family Guy, The Office and Grey\u2019s Anatomy, in high-def. It also means full seasons and full series of older favorites like The X-Files, Arrested Development, Miami Vice, Quantum Leap and Ally McBeal.<\/p>\n

The \u201crich library content\u201d touts more than 120 seasons and 2,000 episodes, so Hulu Plus members should have enough to keep them busy for a while. (See \u201cGuided Tour\u201d video below)<\/p>\n

Plus members will also be able to access all of those shows from multiple devices. Samsung will carry Hulu Plus as one of its Samsung Apps as the exclusive invitation preview provider for connected TVs, with availability on most of its 2010 models of 40-inches and larger. The service will also be accessible through Samsung Blu-ray players and theater systems, Apple\u2019s iPad, iPhone 3GS and 4, and iPod Touch, and \u201ccoming soon\u201d Sony\u2019s PlayStation 3, TVs and Blu-ray players, Microsoft\u2019s Xbox 360 and Vizio TVs and Blu-ray players.<\/p>\n
