Found this article on Ausdroid.net: http://ausdroid.net/2014/08/13/buy-chromecast-google-play-ge…

Mentions that Chromecast owners who have not previously used ALL ACCESS are able to have 90 Days as a free trial

"To redeem the offer, there’s two ways to go. Point your browser at chromecast.com/offers/ and select your Chromecast and then redeem the offer, or you can also go into your Chromecast app on your tablet/phone and select your Chromecast and then tap the settings menu and then Check for offers. From both you should get a browser with these two Chromecast bonus offers (provided you haven’t redeemed Presto as yet)."

Worth $35.97 although you need to purchase a Chromecast or have one which will set you back a bit unless you take advantage of Dick Smith's deals.

Let me know if this should be moved to forums as it does require ownership of a Chromecast. (Used the previous bonus $6 credit as a reference in deciding to post this as a deal)

MUST BE REDEEMED BY SEP 30

    Shame I can't get my current subscription free for 3 months. Good deal though.

    Is this for downloading music? thx

    • Lunchguy on 13/08/2014 - 20:04

      Streaming music but you can 'pin' songs for offline play.

      • 93_infinity on 13/08/2014 - 22:02

        Sort of like Spotify?

    • Utopian on 14/08/2014 - 09:29

      I was wondering the same. The title dropped the important word, and description doesn't cover it either.

  • Ronnnie on 13/08/2014 - 20:27

    Thx. Now I can try out presto.

      just did, not as good as netflix…

  • djvancer on 13/08/2014 - 20:37

    Pity I must have used a trial of all access when it first came out, it won't apply for me. Still a good offer for those that can get it.

    • Ronnnie on 13/08/2014 - 20:39

      You can make up a new gmail account to get a free 3 months.

  • hetzjagd on 13/08/2014 - 20:52

    So am I correct in thinking this allows you download any paid app on Google Play but after the trial ends you have to pay for the software or stop using it? Or is it all-you-can-eat for 90 days and you keep whatever is installed during that time?

    • Woodyg22 on 13/08/2014 - 21:00

      Music only

    • stig on 13/08/2014 - 21:17

      Here's a link that explains what All Access is. As Woodyg said, it's for Play Music.

    Presto wants my credit card details to start a subscription after the free month. Even if it's easy enough to close the account before then, I'm just not interested in giving them all my information.

    • rockman117 on 13/08/2014 - 22:58

      Hulu plus and netflix also require CC details before trial FYI

    Doesnt show up as far as i new this was only for the US the offer was released a few weeks ago.

  • CheepCheap on 13/08/2014 - 21:58

    I got Presto offer too, on Chromecast bought on one of the Dick Smith deals on here.

  • [Deactivated] on 13/08/2014 - 23:08

    Same here, I got Presto (1 month) and Google Play Music All Access (3 months), and I bought the Chromecast from Dick Smith, though not as cheap as now. It was $49.

  • Bigsta on 13/08/2014 - 23:47

    I got a chromecast the other day, whats the best app to use it to stream video from your server?

    • Jooniar on 13/08/2014 - 23:50

      Plex, really great. Automatically adds art too which is really cool.

      • Woodyg22 on 14/08/2014 - 00:00

        I also recommend Plex. Manages your media libraries really well, sorting episodes by show and season. As well as adding correct titles, descriptions and other details. Easy and very reliable through my Chromecast and Nexus.

      I use Videostream; I can stream 2.5gb MKV's no issue*

      *Differs based upon on your Wifi Network and Router Specifications, streaming computer performance, distance between devices such as the chromecast, router, and computer, other users on the network, size and type of the file, and acts of God.

      • ProjectZero on 14/08/2014 - 08:57

        I've used both Videostream and PLEX, using the same setup, videostream had some stutters here and there whereas PLEX didn't. So i'd recommend PLEX over Videostream.

        Also, PLEX can stream to your portable devices as well, whereas Videostream does not.

        • DrStinge on 14/08/2014 - 11:13

          For more casual streaming I like VideoStream, I didn't like having to run Plex agent in the background.

      • Utopian on 14/08/2014 - 09:32

        2.5GB… but what video duration? Bitrate is the key.

        • DrStinge on 14/08/2014 - 11:12

          40minute episode length

    • 8anddrank on 14/08/2014 - 08:38

      Plex is awesome. Free for the computer, paid app for your smartphone. Well worth looking in to. You can set up folders for Tv shows, movies, documentaries etc and Plex will scan them for you and display in an itunes like interface. Because of Chromecast and Plex, my apple tv is now just an expensive drink coaster.

      • Ronnnie on 14/08/2014 - 11:59

        Allcast is okay too, but has crap ui. It allows you to cast from your phone to Apple tv and chromecast. So you could download a torrent on your phone and cast it to either device.

    • shizmo on 14/08/2014 - 08:56

      I've tried and used the lot of them and Plex seems to come out on top each time.

    • Mergatroid on 14/08/2014 - 09:14

      Also videostream has a handy app that lets you pause/play like a remote!

    • sane on 14/08/2014 - 09:25

      Everyone is pushing Plex, neglecting that it's both paid-for on your Android device, and non-standard.

      Main question is what does your existing server already push out? Chances are it's DLNA/UPnP - so something BubbleUPnP will have the maximum flexibility to play on the device, on the chromecast, via your blu-ray player or TV, etc.

      Sure, it probably won't be as pretty, but it's a lot simpler and more standard.

      • Trishool on 14/08/2014 - 21:38

        I use BubbleUpnp and it struggles with mkv files which is a real shame.

  • BlitzR on 13/08/2014 - 23:52

    thanks for this OP.

    Plex, PopCornTime, Netflix and Hangman…and you are all set. :)

    OP you are missing the word "Music" in your title.

  • rockman117 on 14/08/2014 - 12:21

    This is a deal breaker, gonna finally get one when it's next on sale. Thanks OP

  • zeckem on 14/08/2014 - 14:11
