Hulu Plus leaves beta, drops price (but not by much)

$10 is too much for Hulu Plus. Hands down. You know it, we know it and apparently the brass at Hulu does, too. At long last Hulu Plus has officially launched, and the service arrives with a welcome drop in price.
Now, the new $8 price of admission may not seem much lower, but it's a lot friendlier than the old one (though not as low as the rumored $5 it could have been). At eight bucks, the service is now in a better position to lock horns with the likes of Netflix, which will allow you all the streaming you can consume across almost any platform imaginable for a dollar more.
You can read all about what that subscription gets you over at the Hulu Blog. Of course, Hulu's backing by NBC (a parent company shared by both Hulu and DVICE), means that it's the only place on the web right now where you can find the full seasons of shows such as The OfficeGleeModern Family and the like, if you're into that.
