There you have it, good people of the internet, the rumored Hulu Plus price drop has indeed been enacted, though it’s a little smaller than some might have hoped. The formerly $9.99 subscription service has now dipped to $7.99 per month — enough to get you to jump on board? Maybe the one week free trial will help get you there, but don’t fret if you’re already subscribed — Hulu’s got you covered with a refund for the difference from the preview price to the current one, which will be applied in your next billing cycle. Isn’t that nice? Also good to know is that the list of devices you can enjoy your Plus experience on has been expanded by one, adding Roku’s hardware as previously planned. You’ll find the full press release after the break.
Hulu Plus dropping to $4.95 per month? That’s what she said.

It’s only rumor for now, but Peter Kafka over at All Things D has sources telling him that the ABC/NBC/FOX-owned Hulu Plus video site is looking to cut its $9.95 per month subscription fee in halfish to $4.95, perhaps in a bid to increase subscriber count. If so that would drop it well below the $8.95 per month fee paid by Netflix subscribers. A price drop certainly wouldn’t surprise us knowing that content owners are still experimenting with pricing in the brave new world we call the internet.

After months of speculation the wait is almost over and Hulu Plus is just about upon us. Hulu was nice enough to share an invite with us so we could to try it out — sorry, we don’t have any extras — and we just so happened to have a Samsung LED LCD TV in the lab to give it a go. Of course, we also tried it the old fashioned way (in the browser) as well as via Hulu Desktop, on the iPhone, and on the iPad — sadly it isn’t live on the Xbox 360 or PS3 yet. The bottom line is it isn’t perfect, but doesn’t disappoint either, and you’ll have to click on through for the rest.
