It starts in the US November 11th I believe. They are just roping us rubes in early with discounted rates.
:thumbsup:

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?

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.
