It's a decision subscribers will soon have to make as the company is increasing the price of its popular service by 27%. It's also hiking the ad-free price of Hulu.

No word on PC games, though it wouldn't be surprising to see it follow in the footsteps of Square Enix and Activision by charging $70 for some titles on the platform.
