Today we're announcing the newest Perk for our Ultimate members: 30-days of Disney+*.

Starting today, Ultimate members will be able to stream all of the great entertainment available with Disney+, including content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic.

Members can claim and activate the trial until January 31

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

Holy shit. Microsoft is on a roll this time around!

 

[Pedro Motta]

Oh LOL, only 1 month.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Oh it's 30 days.

 

[Jaguar Victory]

That's what I expected

 

[NullZ3r0]

I already have this bundled with Hulu so I guess when I sign up for XAA I can just cancel that.

 

[Dr Bass]

How does this differ from just signing up for the trial directly?

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Cool. I guess?

If I have GamePass, when am I going to have time to watch Disney+ shows? Shouldn't I be playing games?

 

[AgentP]

WTF is game pass ultimate? Is there a platinum and gold version too?

 

[ReBurn]

That's enough time to watch all of the actually good content on Disney+

 

[AV]

*Game Pass ultimate users get a 1 month trial of Disney+

 

[The_Mike]

Kinda weak that it's an extended trial. Not news worthy.

 

[Hinedorf]

Microsoft still trying to find a way to give it's customers content..... just not all those awesome exclusives which makes Sony the continued better choice.

 

[Bankai]

Oh LOL, only 1 month.

The links says: "30-days of Disney+*"

So not even worth mentioning TBH.

Game Pass actually has a bunch of awesome exclusives. Your attempt at a drive by console war troll has only made you look stupid.

 

[NickFire]

- alright OP, you got me with your misleading by omission thread title.

For about 10 seconds I was completely shocked by this news. It could be a real game changer until you read the fine print. It's only for 1 month, new subscribers only. Kind of seriously relevant information to be excluded from the thread title.

Edit: I see the thread title was updated.

 

[MrS]

Cool freebie. Well played MS here. Is there ESPN stuff on Disney? Would binge some 30 for 30s for sure.

 

[PhaseJump]

1 month and only for new subscribers.

Nothing for me.

 

[kiphalfton]

Fail

 

[Redefine07]

This is great :O but sadly Disney+ is not available yet in my country for now , I have only gamepass if I get gold it will upgrade to ultimate ? Oh only 1 month and for new one's , oh well.

9 posts before the first console war drivel, not bad!

I didn´t know Cyberpunk was playstation exclusive. ah, you are talking about demon´s souls (bloodborne sales are 2 million)

 

[Warnen]

wait till Mando s2 is done before u cash it in

This user was removed from thread. Get back on topic- thank you.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

That's obviously so more people try Game Pass. If you're interested in Disney Plus, this basically means you can sign Game Pass Ultimate for half the price. It might not be anything big but it's a nice move, and I can't see how some people are turning this into console war bs.

 

[Trogdor1123]

That is nice, I guess. Not really a big deal though.

 

[Iced Arcade]

I mean it is a perk but already a subscriber.

They should save all those little perks they keep popping up (discord, Spotify) with an give one substantial perk. Imo

 

[jaysius]

30 days isn't worth hyping, should have been 2-3 months. 30 days is a fart in the wind.

Hold off on redeeming until Mandalorian is done, it's the only real standout on that service.

Perks are only meh fake "added" values anyway, I think the best perk so far has been DLC for a game, most of it is trash for F2P games.

 

[RoadHazard]

MS buying Disney confirmed?

 

[Nester99]

works out for me, My first year which i am not renewing is up in the middle of Mando. Will use this to finish it off rather then resub or find it "elseware"

Still disappointed its only a trial.

 

[jshackles]

MS buying Disney confirmed?

Not until next Wednesday

 

[Walter Matthau]

edit

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Awesome. Will plow through Mandalorian.

 

[j0hnnix]

Looks like I have another place to watch Madalorian. Great news, even if it's just 30 days.

 

[Dolomite]

Noice. Not much, but also much better than nothing

 

[AV]

Awesome. Will plow through Mandalorian.

Make sure you don't claim the trial until the full show is out. It's week-by-week right now.

 

[AJUMP23]

I already don't pay for D+ with my wife's cell phone plan

 

[MiguelItUp]

I figured it was something like this. I was like, "There's no way they are lumping Disney+ into their subscription."

Apparently people saw the image the Game Pass Twitter posted and thought a Mandalorian game was being announced, lmaooooo.

That's cruel. The show feels like a video game story with the way you acquire new gear.

It should happen really.

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree! I was just surprised people came up with such a conclusion from the Game Pass Twitter. I figured if that were something being teased it'd be posted elsewhere, haha.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Oh shit. Good point. I can wait.

Looks like you got to claim it by end of Jan 31, 2021. Got a few months.

 

[JimiNutz]

Awesome. Will plow through Mandalorian.

That's what they want you to do.

Binge season 1, get hooked and then realise that we've only just started season 2 and you'll need to keep paying to get your weekly fix.

 

[dottme]

1 month and only for new subscribers.

Nothing for me.

That's a little disappointing. They should offer for everyone.
here it makes it feel more like an advertisement than a perk.
