As expected, Hulu today launched the $9.99 per month Hulu Plus service, offering full seasons of TV shows from ABC, NBC and Fox in HD. Hulu Plus will offer all episodes of current shows, plus past seasons of shows like 30 Rock, The Office, Heroes, and more.

Hulu Plus will be available on Windows and Mac computers, the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Samsung TV’s and Blu-ray players, and soon on the PS3. The Xbox 360, Sony TV’s, and Vizio TV’s will follow.

Hulu Plus, with a heavy focus on TV shows, is an interesting companion for Netflix streaming, and gets us one step closer to cutting the cable TV cord…

If you’re interested in Hulu Plus, you can sign up for a preview invitation.

Update: My biggest complaint about Hulu Plus (besides the lack of CBS, FX and TNT) is that they will be showing commercials. This is a big win for Netflix since they don’t show commercials on streaming.
