News ESPN+ to be included in new Disney bundle

[eddymotto]

Disney will offer three of its streaming services -- Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ -- as a $12.99-per-month bundle. This prices the bundle on par with the cost of an Amazon Prime Video and Netflix subscription, and cheaper than the rumored HBO Max monthly subscription cost of around $16-$17. The package deal includes a version of Hulu with ads; no word on whether a bundled ad-free option will also be available. Currently, a monthly Hulu subscription (with ads) runs $5.99-per-month, with ESPN+ running an additional $4.99-per-month. Though ESPN+ does not include the core ESPN programming line-up, such as SportsCenter, it features a number of MLB, NHL and MLS games, along with tennis, golf, college sports and boxing coverage, the complete ESPN film library and UFC fights. – VERGE

I'm tempted to add this to my ESPN+ because Disney+ has me intrigued. All the Star Wars, Marvel movies. Original MCU series etc

Let me know when they add ESPN to the deal so I can watch Monday Night Football.

It shows some insight into Disney's overall streaming strategy

I will be tempted as well. None of the those platforms really appeal to me on their own. When combined, I will probably give it a try

If only they bundled Fight Pass and ESPN+...

But yeah, I'm probably going to spring for this.

 

[PurpleStorm]

Day one purchase for me. Look forward to seeing how it all ties together. Plus, every Simpsons episode.

Isn't Hulu with ads already free?

 

[Kvothe_the_kingkiller]

All part of the plan.

Cool. I'll save money

Last time I checked, Hulu with ads was $8 and Hulu w/o ads was $12. It's been awhile so my info might be outdated.

 

[Thunderchild]

I already get Hulu with Sprint, I pay the $5 for ESPN+, and idgaf about Disney properties, so a no-go for me. I could see how it would be appealing to some though.

Last time I checked, it was free to watch on a computer or laptop. But, for mobile, gaming consoles, and smart TVs, you have to pay monthly.

Made me look and at first glance it looks like we're both wrong

Sounds like a deal... but I do already have ESPN+ and the Disney Channel with cable...

Let's just hope that eventually they don't go the cable bundle route again and force people to buy the entire package when they only want one thing

I would buy ESPN+ alone if it had more content.

If I am paying for a media subscription, I want it to be something that I could see myself using every day, not just for the occasional event (sure, I may go weeks without turning Netflix on but there is always content available that I theoretically want to consume)

I guess I am a good target for them. I don't see myself buying any of the 3 platforms on their won. Together is seems interesting

I think Hulu has a sports package now too, right? Not sure how that fits in

It's free with a spotify subscription...

Inevitably people will complain.

Hulu is $12 and ESPN+ is $5, and combined with Disney it will be $13. You know people are going to flip their fucking minds over that "price increase" of $1.

But I'll save $4 EDIT: Shit, I won't save $4. I just saw that the bundled one is with ads. Fuck that shit. I'm way too old for Hulu with ads.

Hulu was a free service last I had it. That was years ago.
