It starts in the US November 11th I believe. They are just roping us rubes in early with discounted rates.
They say we (and many other European countries) will get it in 2019 as well, but no date has been announced yet. A bit odd.
There is a trial period going on in the Netherlands with a reduced library now. I saw a few articles were folks were happy that there was a lot of older Marvel animated shows on there.

Yeah, I've seen that, too. Unfortunately, too early to know if Disney has the US streaming rights:

I wouldn't be shocked if some cable companies have apps for it. I'd recommend a Roku stick if it doesn't happen.
My Roku stick gets really hot if I leave it plugged in. Know any cure for that?

as much money as they have there had better be an app for it on the boxes.

Seems like I read it would be on everything except Amazon products. Which is what we use, or course.

I've got a blu-ray player, damned if I know the brand right now, but it's got an app for youtube, netflix, hulu, and amazon. Better fucking have one for disney.

Darn. That link just takes me to a page that says "keep me updated" must be because I'm in Canada.

I was gonna do the bundle but I'm starting to wonder if I really need Hulu and ESPN+.

Hulu is gonna be the place that Disney puts everything that’s not PG-13 and below. Like the Deadpool movies.

I have Hulu right now. And even with the cheap ad version I'm actually thinking of keeping it and dropping Netflix. I love Hulu.

I guess it’ll be iPhones and iPads for us until they get things with Amazon worked out.

I've already floated the new TV balloon a few times and it keeps getting shot down. I'd really like a 4k set and the demos I put in front of her are amazing but she's not into it yet. That 4k Fire TV from Toshiba keeps being under $200 too.
