Why should you pay $10 period? I could go to Hulu right now, and watch all those things (current seasons and past seasons) right now for free. 

Only thing for Hulu should be an internet connection, like it is now (thus making it stupid to block it on the PS3). I don't mind a 15 second advert every 10 minutes


Because television shows are very expensive to make? Hulu plus is going to add more content for paid subscribers than the free site... and honestly, the site is amazing, it should cost money. Do I like it being free? Of course. But there's a reason a couple of my favorite shows died even though lots of people watched it on Hulu. Hulu generates almost no revenue compared to other sources - not enough to help keep the shows you watch on the air, anyway. It's business model requires some kind of payment. On demand viewing with a fraction of the commercials of a TV broadcast? There will be a price, it's unavoidable.

Dude....commercials.

Dude, you get cable free due to commercials? A few of the biggest networks are available over the air, for the most part, people pay for TV AND are exposed to commercials totaling 1/4 of total viewing time. Hulu is currently free, but it's not enough. A fraction of the cost of cable and 1/2 the commercials sounds like a deal to me. Is free better? clearly. But a few commercials per show isn't enough.
