Disney+ streaming service targeted for Switch
Posted on April 11, 2019 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News




During an investor stream, it was just announced that the Disney+ streaming service is coming to consoles. While PlayStation 4 appears to be the only confirmed platform at present, the image above refers to platforms they “want to be on”.

Disney+ is expected to launch sometime this year. It will house TV and film content from the company as well as brand new shows and more.

Thanks to Jake and Matthew for the tip.

Shouldn't have more than 3 streaming services. A TV service, Netflix and now this . Anything else isn't worth it.
 
Any truth to it being $3.50 for college students? Still have my old school email lol
 
There may be a Hulu and D+ combo package like the one Hulu offers with Spotify now, which would save consumers some money too. Unbeatable deal if it happens, but maybe I'm just biased lol
 
Amazing price point. They're going to kill it with parents with small kids who love Disney movies. I'm most interested in learning about their original series though. I've seen just about every Disney movie I wanna see, Netflix's success has come from Original content and licensing popular shows from other production studios. After a month or two I've seen every Disney movie I need to see, what's keeping me coming back?

they're not releasing all eps to their new shows at once. no binging for now. so if you enjoy a show, you'd have to wait a week. i'm totally ok with that since i rarely binge
for someone that is trying to watch simpsons, it's going to take awhile :lol:

it's more than just disney, they got the fox, pixar, etc. new movies that just hit theatres will probably be streamed on disney+ before any other site

disney+ and chill :evil:

It’s not just Disney movies
They gonna have fox movies and shows
That they own since they bought them
 
At this rate all these different streaming service is going to equal to the cost of a cable bill :lol:

Can we just get one company that provides all these streaming services as one and we get to pick elected channels - sports channels for a set price :lol:

That's the irony of the current streaming era. Streaming services became popular because people didn't want to pay $60 or $70 per month for cable but with content becoming segmented between some many different services (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and Apple's new service, etc.) its getting to the point where you need to spend $60 if you want all the content.

I do see people reaching a breaking point with all these services. I have cable, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video (I see it as a throw in with Prime). I'm considering getting Disney+ if it lets me get all of Hulu's content
 
Streaming wasn't beneficial for people only soendig $70 on a cable bill. It was more beneficial for people paying double to triple that.
