Question for those who have signed up for the 3 year deal - when the next Marvel or Star Wars film comes out to purchase on disc or digital, will you be buying?

Physical. No question.

Physical. No one can tamper with content once I own a physical copy.

But to get deeper into my question - why buy at all? If the service you have already spent $141 on has the movie you want, what are you gaining buy purchasing a 2nd copy?

A physical copy on my shelf that may have more features, better video or audio that no one can tamper with or take away from me. I am, by my nature, a collector. I collect physical things...I don't collect Pokemon virtual characters or digital trading cards, for instance.

Having Disney+ will help me limit my physical disc purchases for films with less re-watch value to me. Also, some limiting of my blind buys like Mary Poppins Returns. I'm not a fan of the original Mary Poppins so I doubt I'll love this new film, but I want to see it to make sure and having Disney+ allows me to do so without spending a bunch of money. The same with those discs that DMC has been releasing as I really don't want to join DMC again. I just don't want to bother with that monthly exercise.

I intend on subscribing to Disney+ at some point on or near launch.

In terms of future purchases, I will continue to purchase 3D discs since those versions are not available via streaming. But I suspect my purchases of 2D-only content will wane. Certainly I won’t be making blind buys of physical media copies of 2D content that’s on the service.

Speaking of 3-D, my 3-D challenge of watching one 3-D movie per week until the end of the year starts next week.

Only if I really like it after watching it on Disney+, and also only when/if the price drops below my personal price ceiling.

I'm already prepared for 5 years of HTF people bitching about the death of physical media. You think the 3D whiners are bad? The never streamers are gonna be way worse.

When you see how many people can't get the disc they bought from Amazon delivered to them a full month after its release date, it starts to make streaming look much more appealing.

No

I don't know if I've just made a huge mistake...but I got in on the $140 Disney+ 3-year deal.

This will be my first foray into "mainstream streaming." The only other real streaming I've done is MLB.

I've got an AppleTV4k (which works GREAT on the MLB streams). My display is still only 1080p (Panny plasma). And, I have nearly every Disney/Pixar film that's ever been released on Blu-ray and/or DVD.

But...the deal seems good. And I've got two young granddaughters (just about to turn ages 3 & 5).

I have put off the move towards streaming long enough and figure this was a good way to ease into it. I dunno.

Your granddaughters should love Disney+. I think it's a wise choice considering you're only paying like $3.89 a month for the next 36 months beginning on November 12th.

I don’t think $140 can constitute a huge mistake. At worst, it’s a minor waste of money. Skip a few disc purchases and you’re even money.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Skip a few disc purchases

Like THAT'S gonna happen!

Everything slowed down and synced up today, allowing me to sign up to the 3 yr D+ special.

 

[DaveF]

And thanks for helping me figure the D23 stuff out.

 

[Kyrsten Brad]

Signed up for a D23 membership yesterday. How long till I get my email offer?

You should get it Monday or Tuesday, but you cut it close as August 31st was the last day I think for that offer.

Edit: The last day is September 2nd.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

You should get it later today or tomorrow, but you cut it close as August 31st was the last day I think for that offer.

I thought it was September 2nd?
