            • @Ramrunner: The Marvellous Mrs Maisel. Good Omens. American Gods. My man is watching repeats of Laugh In. There is stuff there but the combination of shows and free postage is a winner.

            • +1

              @Ramrunner: Patriot, Sneaky Pete, The Boys, The Man in the High Castle, Homecoming, The Tick, Transparent All or Nothing

          • @jackwoz: Agree the movies are not good on there. its either old or B grade

          • @jackwoz: @jackwoz: I hate nothing more than scrolling through their "TV" shows and seeing a bunch of cringey "Funny or Die" web series on there. Amazon Prime itself has been worth it to me so the video service is just a bonus, but shows like The Boys have been fantastic at least.

        • Godfather of Harlem..

        • In the past I remember NetFlix had more choices on movies than Prime so I'm not sure if that's changed

      • +1

        I will cancel my Netflix subscription straight away when Disney+ arrives. There is nothing to watch there. Just spend time to find something to watch. And their original content is low quality

    • +7

      Stan is in trouble IMO. Their whole appeal is the Disney/Marvel stuff.

      • Anything to do with Channel Nein is in trouble.

    • +1

      Huh? It's PG13 content only yeah? in the US they're pushing anything that isn't kid/family targeted onto Hulu, so Netflix should be fine, most of that stuff has been going to Stan anyway I think - I'd be more concerned for Stan, unless they get the Hulu-type content and even then, their apps are so horrendous it might just drive people away.

    • +3

      Remember the golden years when being a "netflix original" meant something was really really good (HoC, JJ/Marvel stuff etc.)? These days it's 99% trash.

    • +1

      Disney bought 21st Century Fox (as in Fox + Telstra), so they hold rights to a huge chunk of Foxtel content which moved with the corporate split.

      ESPN+ is part of the Disney+ bundle (Disney+, ESPN+, Hulu, US$13) in USA so they dominate sport in USA market. May or may not form an Australian division. Sport content gone if they do.

      Foxtel streaming is the number one head on the chopping board. Stan will struggle since half of their catalogue is Disney/Marvel/Starwars.

      It's going to be over a year before Disney gets the rights back to a lot of their own content though. Lots is still locked in contracts with the competition which won't be renewed but needs to timeout.

  • +31

    7 day free trial???
    The rest offer a month

    • +23

      They don't need to compete, they can flip the switch on exclusive rights for about half the world's content.

      I don't expect that cheap $9 price to stay long either. Once most of the competition starves to death they will jack it up.

      They really need to be stopped from controlling any more of the film industry because they are heading for monopoly status.

      • +4

        Bingo!

        Pull the plug on content, make it exclusive, low price first year or two, when everyone dies it's time for Jackaroo! For example, why all marvel shows that were played on Netflix died? Because they belong to Disney now, no rights, no continuation. Things are changing fast, everythings happening so fast in literally every sphere of life nowadays. Before you had things marking a decade, decades, now you're lucky to mark a year.

        • Glad to say that soon I'll only own a tv for videogames.

          Until MS subscriptions cock that up too

    • What joelmuzz said, plus Apple TV led that way with this last week.

  • Never mind, think I misread it.

  • +1

    So we didn't get any good offers like the US?

  • -5

    Aww yeah, Netflix killer is coming.

    • Is it? Where? What is it? As it absolutely isn’t this Disney thing.

  • +2

    Damn - thought this post was announcing an early launch trial like the Netherlands:

    https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/disney-plus-launch-fre…

    $9 a month is not bad, considering you get 4 simultaneous streams, 4K, HDR, and 7 user profiles:

    • Me too! i got so excited,lmao.

  • +14

    No to Disney

  • +2

    In 41 days? Gonna have to make a google calendar reminder for this one.

    • +5

      Ozbargain has its own reminder system up the top, under the deal details.

      • Yep it's awesome, I used it to create the Google calendar event :)

  • +12

    Bloody hell they cant even give proper 1 month trial like others.

  • I got excited thinking they we're letting us trial it just like The Netherlands :'(

  • +1

    isn't 7-31 day trial pretty normal for these types of services?

    • -2

      Yep, some people will find just about anything to whinge about :D

      • +6

        well a 7 day trial isn't a deal is it, its a very short trial period at that as well, stan and netflix atleast gave you 30 days

        • It's still 168 hours of content. Pop a pack of nodoz

  • +1

    From things I've already seen in 1990s to things I've already seen in the 2000's to things I've already seen this decade…. they have the lot.

    • +1

      That's my "dilemma" with this one. I've seen most of their offers lol. However, I'm really keen on their originals especially Mandalorian happy its a day one thing.

  • +1

    My guess is they are only offering a week as they are hoping a large portion of users will start watching The Mandalorian but not have time to finish it.

  • AUD?

  • +12

    What am I missing? is this not just the standard price for the new service that'll be opening in ~41 days?

  • +1

    It must be costing disney alot to give away 7 days of access ;)

    But then you can probably watch everything that they have available by sounds in 7 days

  • +38

    How is this a deal, all services have free trial periods and most are a month, not 7 days.

    The market is already saturated with subscription services.

    The only good thing would be National Geographic. But now that’s all about ice truckers and hillbillies hunting crocodiles.

    • +3

      I'm with this guy. Likely to be a part and parcel of the standard offering, not a bargain or deal in particular.

    • +1

      Agreed 7 days isn't great.

    • +1

  • +5

    $8.99 here, $9.99 there - They quickly adds up

    • +3

      Spot on! Personally I have Netflix, YouTube (both paying less via VPN subscribing) and I can also access European Tv via VPN. Husband has his Foxtel for sport.
      I am not going to add more subscriptions, will only try Apple when it comes to give it a try but at the moment I don’t need more subscriptions.

      • +1

        If every network/distributor goes down this path, its going to be a horrible outcome. The purpose of Netflix and Stan etc was to aggregate a myriad of programs/movies so you can get what you want in one location.

        Whats next, Warner Brothers / Sony / Universal / Fox all coming out with their own platforms - so if you want to watch a variety, you'd end up ~$10 in the hole for each, plus Netflix / Stan etc… spending >$100 a month. Agree with others - this will just lead to piracy again, i can't imagine people will subscribe to Disney for a couple of movies.

        In all fairness, i'd probably be happy to pay a bit more for one/two platforms that have most of the content, than pick and choose, up/downgrade monthly etc etc.

  • +20

    How is this a deal? Most services offer minimum a 7 day trial now. Retail pricing is not a deal.

  • +2

    Is anyone without little kids going to sign up for this?
    On top of all the others?

    Cut the cord, drown in the stream.

    • +1

      For many, wallets are hurtin'

  • Is it free or is it "Free" provided you give them card details that can't be deleted and then remember to find the hidden cancellation page that requires multiple clicks on cancel my subscription to be taken to the actual secret cancellation page to confirm your cancellation only to be charged anyway?

  • +13

    Just want to say if you use their service youre supporting fragmenting streaming content.

    • +5

      But if you don't, you're supporting a monopoly?????

      • +11

        No. It’s fine to have multiple providers. But exclusive content is not.

        Streaming services at the moment is like only certain ISPs having access to Google Maps. While another has access to Gmail. So you’d need to sign up to multiple providers.

        They should be competing on price, customer service, app quality and platform availablility.

        If you pay for this crap now, you’re no different than the idiots that pay for Foxtel.

    • Ok, so which service should you use that doesn't support fragmenting content?

      Will Netflix agree to close so that things aren't so fragmented?

    • +2

      Although I agree this is not a bargain, your neg doesn't make sense.

      Also if, for example, you had the resources and ability to sell directly to a customer for more of your own pie rather than have to sell wholesale to a middleman service, I'm pretty sure you would.

    • +6

      Agreed. Making content exclusive to certain providers punishes the consumer and is no better than what Foxtel has been doing for years.

      No bargain here, just screwing consumers.

  • LOL lets go pro rata Disney offering just over $2 for your data :)

    Need some binge time to do my Stan Trial !

  • +6

    Disney? more like DisNO >:(

    • +5

      Such wit. Much humour.

  • It’s a better deal to sign up for one year for $89.99

  • +10

    RESIST DISNEY'S DYSTOPIAN MONOPOLY ON ENTERTAINMENT

    SUPPORTING DISNEY = SUPPORTING CHINAZIS

    RESIST THE SUBSCRIPTION MODEL

    • +13

      Turn your caps lock off.

    • +1

      what am i missing … whats Disney got to do with CHINAZI's ? sounds pretty nefarious (Disney has survived a lot of these political type labling so that will never change)… No Subscription = advert model so each to their own in that arena.

      • +4

        Mickey mouse got winnie the pooh killed for china

        • +1

          never trust anyone or thing that is that frikin happy all the time…Mickey is a serial killer got no doubt

      • -1

        Actually disney over the last few years have really got political agendas in alot of their content, and have in the process ruined alot of what was previously such good content.

        • -2

          didums. I think there are a bunch of kids who would disagree with you.

          • @try2bhelpful: Not sure what your comment has anything to do with what I said.

            • @lonewolf: Perhaps you need to define what you mean by “political agendas”.

  • I'll sign up for a month if they have a 4k remaster of 'song of the south "

  • +7

    not a deal in the slightest. Every streamer has a free trial period

  • +1

    A pretty obvious comment for the Disney franchise I know - but the content is soooooo juvenile - great for a young family I guess but what's in it for grown up's (if they exist anymore).

    • +3

      Disney owns a number of adult entertainment companies… thats how massive they are

      • +1

        Is their content included in the subscription?

    • New shows like The Mandalorian for a start.

  • +1

    The real bargain is remembering to sign up through iTunes so that you can pay for it through discounted iTunes gift cards either purchased during Coles/Woolies/Officeworks % off deals or Amex statement credit offers (somewhere between 15-50% off depending on your weapon deal stack of choice)

  • +1

    sigh Service fragmentation here we come.

    • +1

      The Netflix model & pricing were too good to be true from the start

  • +4

    No deal, trials to these types of subscription services aren't deals.

  • +1

    No deal, Mouse.

  • +1

    And just a reminder to all about another service, just remember what Disney actually owns (see here https://www.cartoonbrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/every…)

    While other services own this content, it will be come less and less as Disney won't sell the content so it can push it to Disney's service. This will happen over a period of time.

  • Apart from your computer, how do you get this app on your tv? I have samsung tv. Should i expect they will be doing an update?

    • I would assume any service like this would have Chromecast support from release. Then you might get a native app on your tv as well, pending on model.

  • +3

    Only 7 days? They're tight with the free trial

  • +1

    TeaTV…

  • +2

    Lol even the free trial is crap

  • Looks like no fox content (i.e. Simpsons) is going to be on the Australian version? That was going to be the difference between getting it or not for me.

  • +2

    Trial isn't a deal.

  • +1

    7 days to watch The Mandalorian? I can do that.

    • Isn't it being released weekly rather than in one hit?

      • It is. Happy to wait till it's allavailable. Not paying for a single show.

        • That's the Ozbargain way :)

  • +4

    No offence OP but this is terrible from Disney. Netflix, amazon and Foxtel used to have Disney they many people already paid for. Paying for a separate subscription is just a rort.

    • -1

      In parallel universe, Netflix has started pushing its originals like hell. You preview one movie, Netflix wd suggest 5 of it’s originals out of 6. Sick of it.

      So when they (NFx) were young, they depended on these franchises. But when they grew, started producing their own contents; sidelined the franchises.
      I would say good on Disney.

  • +2

    marvel/star wars/pixar, what else is there? Doesn't seem that appealing unless you're a kid. Apparently episodes will be released weekly to prevent binging too?

  • +1

    Not really a deal, pretty much all subscription services have this 'free trial' scheme…

  • +1

    As someone who subscribes to Hulu, do we know if there will be any plans offered by them that incorporate Disney+? I know Disney+ themselves have announced a bundle with Disney+, Hulu and ESPN for US$12.99 (AU$19.30)/month, but I don't want ESPN.

    As for the comments regarding streaming options adding up - I hear ya. Here's my current streaming subs:

    Netflix - $17.99/month (Premium Ultra HD, I have a 4K TV)
    Hulu - US$6.76 (AU$10)/month - this is US$5.99/month plus tax
    Prime Video (includes Amazon Prime benefits tho) - $6.99/month
    Youtube Premium - $9.99/month

    So that's already a total of close to $45/month…
