Roku today announced it was finally getting the Hulu Plus subscription service on all of its devices. The deal between the two had been in the works since September and comes as Hulu today made its own announcement that Hulu Plus was coming out of preview mode with a $7.99 monthly subscription, $2 less than it had been during its beta period.
Roku said customers can access Hulu Plus starting today.
