I got my email for the Disney+ deal last night. I'm not really sure what we're going to do though.
We were originally all in on Disney+ after the details provided in the spring. The plan was to sign up for the full year as soon as it came out. After the somewhat limited lineup of shows and movies that are going to be available on 11/12, I was leaning more towards waiting until after they build up more titles.
Now that there are reports that Disney+ might not be available on
Amazon Fire TV at launch, it makes me really nervous to sign up for 3 years (two really for the price). They have provided no new or additional details on the service - even when trying to sign up for this deal, they're not providing the terms and conditions of the service, just that you have to sign up for the service for the full time and there are no refunds or partial refunds.
On top of that, it is difficult without knowing the extent of bundles that will be offered or how the other services may change their offerings to make bundling worth it. We currently have Hulu w/ Live TV, and they have not released any info yet on whether any bundles will be available with that (or with the limited commercial option). I'm not particularly interested in ESPN+ right now, but that could change if they make the daily shows available (particularly PTI and Highly Questionable) and with the ability to limit commercials.
Three years is an awfully long time for something sight unseen with no refunds. As an industry reporter pointed out recently, Disney's attempts at providing content/services in the past have failed spectacularly. I don't anticipate that this time, but they are asking for a lot of blind faith here.
