Apple should have teamed up with Disney from getgo. I don’t understand why they went separate ways considering their relationship.
Got a tip for us?

I somewhat agree. Don't quite get the excitement over Disney+. It seems they'll have mostly old stuff (that you either have already seen or no interest in) and a small amount of new original content initially. The trailer for The Mandalorian looks very promising though.
Nah, that's not cheap here in Norway, and on (most) cable channels I'd have to endure commercials...which I don't have anywhere on the streaming services (except on direct TV on Sumo), and I'm not going back to commercials. Ever.
Except it’s not just Disney. Atv+ and Disney equals a Netflix subscription. Netflix should be scared.
Netflix’s owned content is just a handful of shows that mostly suck besides stranger things. Most of Netflix’s top 10 will never be seen again on Netflix.
To be honest I doubt Netflix will be around in 5 years. Enjoy it while it lasts. It’s library will start shrinking soon enough.
I'll wait a couple of years to see if Disney does a Gillette and backs off of the wokeness. Otherwise, I'm good. Until then, I'll just buy the DVDs of the tvs/movies that I like.
Narcos is one of the best Netflix originals. Highly recommended!
Money wise probably true but those subscription services has far more interesting contents than 200+ cable for me. I think cable will die out in a long run due to its own weight of high price and boring contents in outdated serving platform. I have cable and barely watched any other than some live sports.
Sad part is that the cable is being replaced by essentially the same subscription services with a few good contents buried in mountain of garbage contents that I have to pay for all.
Numbers do not mean much. How many of these new overseas subscribers are only paying $3 that their local markets can bear?

By the end of the first year, the price will jump to $9.99, then eventually settle at $13-15 per month. Enjoy the $6.99 price and view as much as you can in the first year because it won't last forever.
Does anyone know if Disney has said if their streaming will include Dolby Atmos support? That would be a deciding factor for me if I would switch to their streaming service and finally drop Netflix Blu-Ray service. Most of their Blu-ray Discs are the "dumbed-down" audio and rarely include Atmos.
Hopefully AppleTV+ will support Atmos...

Unlike Apple, Disney rewards fans with Disney+ that works out to $3.92/month for a three-year subscription that cost $140.97.

Actually it's worse. All these people subscribing to a handful of "Plus" and "Prime" services, they eventually end up paying close to those old $150-200 cable bundle bills. Except now they deal with having to receive and pay 5 or 6 bills every month.
U plan on paying Disney to keep reliving your childhood? How many times can u watch that stuff?
Looking forward to switch from Netflix to Disney+, considering the insulting price policy of Netflix (second price raise in a short time).
Because... nothing gets you in a romantic mood quite like... Avengers movies?Guess I’ll be “Disney and chill” soon
Who is the smartest guy on the Apple Board ?
Yep, you guessed it correctly, Bob Iger, Chairman & CEO of The Walt Disney Company !
When Cook gets ousted by the Board (a certainty, but timing is UN-known), I predict Iger will be asked to fill the CEO role on a Temp basis, perhaps 3-6 months.
Apple's next long-term CEO will come from the OUTSIDE !

$6.99 so your kids can watch Disney crap. $9.99/mo so you can watch adult crap on Apple TV+. Then another $13/mo for Netflix so you can watch everybody else's crap. What's next? Is every god damn content provider going to set up their own streaming service now?
Death by a thousand cuts.
