Disney+ (Disney Plus, Disney's new streaming service)

[Battlelyon]

I will keep both, I don't know why anyone wouldn't

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Who the fuck would want to watch let alone pay anything Disney these days?

"It's for the kids!"

You might as well just shove your kid in front of CNN at this point.

[The Q]

Disney’s stock is going bonkers today. Presumably because of this announcement.

Yea. I totally messed up not buying during the rumors.

 

[Wild Turkey]

I want to know how this is going to get on my TV.

I have a button on my TV for Netflix, and one for Amazon video.

That's convenient. Will Samsung and LG and Sony, etc be pushing installs of Disney+ clients to their TV's so we can watch this, or is it all going to be complicated?

If you have a smart TV there will be an App Store.

Even before Disney's announcement that they were starting their service Netflix has been going downhill. Obviously that is why there stock went down but I think it was going down prior to it. I might take a chance on this new service but I do expect them to jack the prices up within the year

That's a matter of opinion, Netflix estimates that it now accounts for 10 percent of TV screen time in the US. (Its math here: Netflix says it streams 100 million hours a day to TV screens in the US, and it figures those TVs — which include more than one TV per household, plus sets in bars, hotels, etc. — are on for a billion hours a day.)

They have 130 million subscribers and has gone up every year as well as their revenue.

Do you think they have been going up in quality? I certainly don't... They are constantly removing shows and programs and not really replacing them with anything good. They don't have a good movie collection

I agree on the movie collection but their shows are pretty good, Strangers things, Mindhunter, Ozark, Trailer Park Boys, Black Mirror are some of the best shows. I like they also have a good amount of shows you never seen that you can binge watch.

I like Ozark and haven't seen the other shows... The Ben Affleck movies was horrendous however

Lol, like I said before I'm keeping both.

Didn't say you shouldn't...... . Still stand by the statement that the particular movie sucked majors balls. It was an over-hyped piece of crap

Besides Good Will Hunting and Gone Girl, don't much care for Ben Affleck movies

The ending of Gone Girl was bad... Other than that it was a solid flick

TheVerge: "Disney Announces $12.99 Bundle for Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+, On Par with or Cheaper Than Competitors":

At $12.99, the bundle is cheaper than or on par with competitive streaming services, including Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. It's also significantly cheaper than HBO Max's rumored streaming price of $16-$17 a month. Hulu is currently available for $5.99 a month (with ads), and ESPN+ costs $4.99 a month.

I wonder what the no-ads price will be. As it is, I have hulu without ads for $11.99. I really have little need for ESPN+ or Disney+ till more programming is added. I can wait a year or two. But if the intro bundle with no-ads is around $18.99, I would probably add the bundle immediately. Higher than that will lead me to pass for now.
