Wonder if it will have the new season of Vikings or lightbox has the rights. I will definitely try it over Christmas and summer school holidays. The offline download will be great for camping with the kids .

Has anyone managed to get the 3 year subscription deal. I have registered at disney23 and had the invite email to the deal but when I go to redeem the deal on the site it just takes me to the page to sign up for more information.

Im thinking about getting the deal as well. The only problem I have is if I decide to get the Hulu and ESPN+ bundle would it be cheaper or stay at the same price of $12.99 USD per month

lookout:

4K at no extra cost. 4 devices at once. Profiles...


“The Disney+ mobile app, meanwhile, will support offline downloads. Disney says the number of shows and movies you can download is unlimited, so the only restriction is the amount of free storage you have on your smartphone or tablet. That's on top of the fact Disney+ will stream content in 4K, HDR and Dolby Atmos”


 



Yep, that’s what I’m looking forward to.

Have Descendants 3 recorded on Sky but waiting to see if 4K on Disney.
Also holding back on watching some marvel films as hoping Disney has 4K versions.

If it’s the real deal, I’ll cancel start up on Sky $6x2 decoders, and pay for Disney that way so will be cost neutral. Getting close to looking at canceling multi room as well.

I see in the US Disney Plus discount: Buy two years and get the third free

 

Buy two years get third year free.

You need US vpn to sign up. It will redirect you to the preview site if it detects you are not in the US.

Wonder if their accounts are global like Netflix's though, sign up in US and use either US or NZ depending on DNS / VPN settings?

Signed up with D23 using VPN and got the code overnight but looks like they check for US Credit Card as both my NZ VISA and Mastercard did not work (with US VPN). The Paypal tab doesn't even work (tried on Firefox, IE, Chrome and Safari).

 

Has anyone actually managed to go through the process?

Can a Transferwise debit card be used for this kind of thing? I'm not sure exactly how it works.

Completely free too according to him.

I checked our App Store just in case, definitely not available for us in the way that he said he was able to find the app.

Looks pretty good though!

If thats what we can expect, looks pretty bloody impressive. Will be interesting to see how regional control is implemented.

Clearly they are willing to lose a few billion upfront to gain traction, awesome value for money for US customers(will have to wait to see how gimped the NZ catalogue is)

I was able to setup a Netherlands iTunes account and install the app on my Apple TV, but it throws up an error once you try to use it. Darn.
