News Round Up 2019

I'm all in! November 12th is going to be stressful, what do I watch first.

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

For sure. I think I would spend more time watching these things than Netflix shows at this point. Other than Stranger Things I don't currently watch any Netflix originals.

Netflix these days for me is some parts original and other parts random stuff. There's a whole lot of random things (lots of docuseries stuff) Netflix gets. And I find myself easily binge watching those random things. I fully admit those random things are likely very niche markets whereas the content on Disney+ aimed for a much wider audience.

Bob Iger does expect to retire in 2021.

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

wow, that's really cheap compared to Netflix

Remember though Netflix used to be cheaper than it was. It wasn't all that long ago it was $8.99 or so a month.

I'm wondering how long it will be before Disney raises the price. It could be several years though. It's not a bad price at all at the moment though

The low price is just to get people to subscribe at first. Once they have there audience they will slowly raise the price and it will eventually reach to what Netflix is currently priced at.

Yeah, Netflix streaming was originally $7.99/month back when I first signed up eons ago.

 

[rteetz]

No intentions of including video games or such to Disney+

Love the price tag on Disney's new streaming service...but I think we all know that price tag won't last very long.

I am for sure signing up for the year long package once it's available. Worth ever penny IMO.

oh, i am sure it will go up - but even compared to Netflix starting price it is cheap, and even cheap at the annual rate

Even if it doubles it will still only be at where Netlfix is at now

Netflix still is $8.99 .. if you subscribe to the basic, 1 device, 480p streaming

Did they say the # of devices or video quality on Disney +?

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Any word on any discounts for Annual Pass holders or anything? I seem to recall at one point in the past mention of trying to tie together the fans of the parks with fans of the movies, etc. more

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

When I very first time did it it was $4.99 a month but I believe you were limited to 2 hours per month of streaming back then. Whew Netflix has come a long way since then lol.

 

[rteetz]

That is all folks!

Oh I know. I would assume most people don't have that. They likely have at least HD 2 profiles which is the mid-tier. SD wouldn't be very good on a 55inch tv lol.

They did mention a tie in with Parks and Resorts, DVC, Disney Visa Card members and what not but no specifics.

No.

 

[SG131]

I think Netflix has run its course for me. They are making TOO much original content, so when I do find a show you like they cancel it after two seasons. There’s not enough quality there in the stuff I like to watch. I will be canceling in May when the price goes up. I can rely on Amazon Prime and sling tv until November.

Well they did say when showing the app that captain marvel would be in 4k hdr

Yeah, $7.99 was the unlimited price for what is now their mid tier plan at like $11.99/month.

I think it's going to be highest resolution available depending on the offering since they did mention that. Old DCOM etc. are going to be maybe 720p max unless they get remastered for the service.
