Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Comcast to Launch Peacock, Netflix and Apple TV+ Bundle at a ‘Vastly Reduced Price’ VARIETY.COM Comcast later this month will launch a streaming bundle with Peacock, Netflix and Apple TV+ at a deep discount, Comcast chief Brian Roberts said. Quote Get ready for the next cable-like streaming bundle: Comcast later this month will launch a three-way bundle — with Peacock, Netflix and Apple TV+ — offered at a deep discount, Comcast chief Brian Roberts said. Dubbed StreamSaver, the bundle will be available to all Comcast broadband, TV and mobile customers, Roberts said, speaking Tuesday at MoffettNathanson’s 2024 Media, Internet and Communications Conference in New York. The three streaming services, Peacock, Netflix and Apple TV+, will “come at a vastly reduced price to anything available today,” Roberts said, although he didn’t reveal any pricing. The goal is to “add value to consumers” and “take dollars out” of other people’s streaming businesses, he added, while reinforcing Comcast’s broadband service offerings.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 After "downgrading" to the ad-supported tiers of the various subscription services that I use, I can honestly say that the cost savings is more than worth sitting through a couple of commercials.

I really have no interest in watching a movie unless it's on physical media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC you lose 4k + HDR/DV with ad-supported Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but as I only watch TV shows on Netflix, I don't need all those fancy visual bells n' whistles for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much any show that has native HDR without is sad *Shogun is the exception because that HDR was actual trash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 I can honestly say that I've never given enough of a damn about HDR to investigate whether I'd even notice a visual difference or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That goes up another $2 after the peacock price hike in July. Irrelevant to me since you need to be a Comcast subscriber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like if you're a Comcast broadband and/or Cable TV subscriber it's only $15/month... but, considering you get Peacock for free with a Comcast Cable TV sub, it's still only $2 in savings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
