    Mickey Mouse will hold a gun to the thing you most hold dear if you try to cancel Disney+

    That's the big thing that's keeping me from subscribing outright

    like i may watch a new show here or there on it, maybe catch an old series or movie

    but i am not big on the mcu or star wars really

    however, if there is a ps4 app that lets me watch the simpsons whenever i want

    well that's worth 7 bucks a month

    If it’s home page and player is as competent as even the more obnoxious streaming services than this three year deal I’d say it’s a safe bet for 90% of its audience.

    Though I’d like to see it be a huge failure I refuse to dream that big

    Disney+ is mostly going to be a Simpsons machine though I will watch stuff like Ducktales or Gravity B Fails if it's on there.

  • Raijin QuickfootRaijin Quickfoot I'm your Huckleberry YOU'RE NO DAISYRegistered User, ClubPA regular
    I will watch the SHIT out of The Ducktales Movie if it's on there.

    I rented that for a weekend as a kid and watched it nonstop for the 3 days I had it.

    I can understand the trepidation for prepaying for a streaming service coming from a smaller company that's just trying to get the whole streaming thing off the ground.

    But this is Disney. They aren't fucking this up.

    Disney fucks things up all the time

    It's totally understandable to be anti-Disney, but their streaming service is very likely to run well, and they're not going to lose content that they own, and if they've sold people a 3-year service at a set price, that price won't change within that period. Come on now. There's a point when this becomes silly - people are aware of what Disney is, and don't need to be chastised if they want to get a good deal.

    I'm not "chastising" anyone

    I wouldn't preorder a streaming service from ANY company, disney or not

    It seems like an inherently bad idea to me

    people are free to do whatever they want

    Yeah like, I'm definitely going to subscribe

    But I don't understand the idea of pre-ordering a service

    Because you can save money on something that, by your own admission, you're definitely going to pay for

    It's not exactly confusing

    i can't give anyone guff on pre-ordering anything

    i recently put down a deposit to reserve the right to buy xfl season tickets

    Oh wait, all pre-orders get that discount?

    That makes more sense to me, okay

  • Raijin QuickfootRaijin Quickfoot I'm your Huckleberry YOU'RE NO DAISYRegistered User, ClubPA regular
    I mean, it's only like $72 over three years but if you're going to have the service might as well.

  • EtchwartsEtchwarts Eyes Up Registered User regular
    Yeah I rescind my concern, outside of the larger fear of pre-ordering in general

    Yeah I'll get the stupid Disney+ bundle with the anime and HBO and shit

    May as well consolidate those costs to one thing

    That'd be Warner Bros proposed service. Not sure how far along they are, but they talked up bundling bits of DC Universe, Crunchyroll, HBO and a mix of other stuff.

    I think the main argument against preordering a long term sub would be if you were more likely to use the service in a on again/off again rotation with other services as things became available.
    You might be able to get all you want out of Disney's service in like 4 months of subbing per year vs a solid 3 years booked.

  • minor incidentminor incident expert in a dying field njRegistered User regular
    Yeah, at the under-$4 per month price I pre-ordered at, I'd be perfectly happy with my purchase if they never add anything beyond what has already been confirmed. At this point, any new content or original shows/movies just make it feel like an even better deal. But every Disney movie and every Simpsons episode are already worth the baseline cost in my mind.

    Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

    I upgraded Hulu based solely on how much more often Hulu with ads would crash on me when it went to the ad break. I didn't really mind the ads, but having to regularly restart the episode and try to figure out where you were because the ad couldn't load properly was making the whole experience a lot worse.

    I used to have that problem constantly, though I think it's been years since it last happened to me.

    "I 2 I" was recently removed from Spotify and it's a goddamn travesty

    Not sure if there was a rights issue or what

    Yeah this was a long time ago, and I've since moved apartments, upgraded my TV equipment, and upgraded my internet

    So it probably wouldn't happen anymore, but now I'm used to not having ads

    Disney+ is just gonna be a thing I add to my Hulu subscription, like HBO, since Hulu is still for some ridiculous reason the only streaming service on Switch

    One of my most ironically treasured possessions is a stack of VCDs a friend gave me in 2006 which contain every episode of MSTK up to that point, under the twin delusions that 1) I had any device that could play VCDs and 2) that the format itself wasn't rendered obsolete the year prior.

    man I should get a copy of MST3K: The Movie

    Hulu with ads has some rule where it won't show you the same ads a certain amount of times.

    ...what I'm trying to say is 5 episodes into an ER binge it becomes Hulu ad free for the rest of the day.

    We called it the ‘tv box’ which was hella confusing for anyone visiting.

    It took 10 years but I trained it out and now call it remote.

    I kinda like ‘the buttons’ though

    If you ever want to get rid of those I'd give them a good home!

    I'm gonna get Disney+

    for its free month.

    And I'm gonna watch the two things I wanna watch and then I'll cancel it and then delete the HEY COME BACK emails I'll get every week instead of unsubscribing to their email thing because I don't know I guess I just like turning those sorts of services down regularly it makes me feel like I have a little power maybe

    I finished The Boys a couple of days back. Pretty decent show. Never less than watchable (except for the points where it got a little gross).

    I hope they don't drag the show out too much though. The way they've set up this story, it should wrap up in, at the very most, two more seasons.

  • TheStigTheStig Registered User regular
    It's a good show on Amazon. Even if the story goes on for more than 3 seasons they will cancel it anyway.

    I started Unbelievable. This is a very good show that is very difficult to watch.
