Disney-Warner Bros Discovery streaming bundle offers value in streaming

The Walt Disney Company and Warner Bros. Discovery unveiled the streaming bundle Thursday they promised last spring.

The entertainment giants unveiled two plans that provide access to Max, Disney+ and Hulu for a triple play of streaming.

The plan that includes ads will cost $16.99 while the ad-free version will cost $29.99. The bundle is open to new users and current subscribers to either service can change their plans at the websites at either of the three services.

According to the companies, the move will save subscribers 38% on streaming costs.

Crunching the numbers on the Disney-Warner Bros Discovery bundle

The combination of the three services as standalones costs $26 absent taxes. That $16.99 is a significant savings. For the ad-free version of those services unbundled, the cost is $49, for subscribers to all three there is indeed something there.

However, if you are someone who appreciates the ultimate experience in home viewing, take note that in some cases they are not included. For example: there is no mention of Max’s Ultimate ad-free plan which includes 4K streaming.

The bundle includes some of the top franchises in entertainment

Still, for those who already subscribe to each of the services, there may be value there. Combined, the three services hold sway over some the biggest entertainment properties available including “Star Wars,” the films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and HBO programming.
