    1) isn't this their normal price? What's the bargain?

    2) Anyone know if a paramount plus family account is coming? If so, see y'all in the classifieds

  • [Deactivated] on 11/08/2021 - 00:35

    I don’t want to watch everything, just what I like, so glad we have another option available.

    Having said that looks like the stuff I would want is lacking in their catalog, due to rights 🤣 can’t win!

    T&C's are a bit of a worry…

    ViacomCBS Streaming Australia may change the maximum number of simultaneous streams of the Service that you may use at any time in its sole discretion.

    and there is no refund if they do…

    • stickyfingers on 11/08/2021 - 00:52

      How many does it allow though? 3 like the US?

    Way to many streaming services & most not worth subscribing to, need to start seeing them merge, something like this

    Prime & binge

    Stan & paramount

    Netflix & Disney

    • stickyfingers on 11/08/2021 - 01:02
      +4

      Stan won't be around long after Paramount strips them of all their Viacom content I feel and Binge won't be far off either as Disney and Paramount have all theirs too.

      So it'll really just leave Prime for the oddities (which is fine as I pay for Prime anyway because I like Amazon), Paramount and Disney for their branded content and Netflix for their originals, Sony, Warner, and the smaller distributers.

      • ozdesi on 11/08/2021 - 01:38

        Stan and Binge will carry a lot of local content that foreigners will not have license to stream

        • lonewolf on 11/08/2021 - 13:00
          +1

          Stan is connected to Foxtel and ch9. Binge is owned by foxtel basically and has some foxtel content hence HBO.

        • gromit on 11/08/2021 - 17:35

          yes but really most people don't give a crap about local content from a streaming service. Personally I use them to avoid the local crap.

      • fuzor on 11/08/2021 - 01:43

        Prime has MGM now so there’s a bit of a catalogue there. Yeah but it’s stupid. My remote just updated to have Disney physical button in addition to Netflix and prime. Now it sort of obsolete again…

      • parcus on 11/08/2021 - 07:26
        +2

        No one else has HBO content do they? That’s a huge draw card, and only reason I’ve been maintaining Binge

      • JDNE on 11/08/2021 - 09:47

        The real appeal behind Binge to begin with is their HBO content, can't really find that anywhere in Australia.

  • neilpatrickharris on 11/08/2021 - 01:02

    Doesn't really sound like a deal. More of a PSA. Disney plus is cheaper on an annual basis as well, so is amazon prime.

    • jv on 11/08/2021 - 01:27
      +3

      Disney plus is cheaper on an annual basis

      No it's not.

      • neilpatrickharris on 11/08/2021 - 01:29

        $11.99 per month (or $119.99 per year)

        • jv on 11/08/2021 - 01:53
          +3

          Yep, so this is cheaper than Disney Plus.

          • neilpatrickharris on 11/08/2021 - 08:20

            @jv: Maybe I should've been clearer. My point is that it's cheaper to get an annual subscription than it is to pay monthly for a year. Isn't that the "deal" here? I.e. Save 15%? Comparing the outright cost of both services is pointless seeing as the content is vastly different.

        After subscribing to Paramount+ through the iOS app, go to iOS settings and search for subscriptions. In there you can see all the various subscriptions available.

        It seems it will override the free trail period thought so I'll wait the 7 days before moving to the $6.49 sub. Turn off auto renewal in the mean time though.

        • Schumi5 on 13/08/2021 - 20:09

          Any idea if after doing this that you are able to use your paramount login details on the android Tv app to use the subscription? or would it all have to be through the apple ios?
          I was planning on using ipad to setup the subscription through the paramount app, but then using it on the tv through th nvidia shield we have running

    • stickyfingers on 11/08/2021 - 11:13
      +1

      Stan has the same bug. You can get Premium for $15.49 rather than $19.49. They say it’s because Apple won’t let them delete their old subscription packages.

      Stan are pricks though and lock you out of the Apple TV app until you update your pricing.

      • Ifndefx on 11/08/2021 - 11:47

        That's like a half truth from Stan, I believe you can't delete them. But I believe you decide whether to show it as an option or not.

      • lonewolf on 11/08/2021 - 13:03

        hang on, so are you saying for Stan you can still do this or you cant?

    • tobinm on 18/08/2021 - 08:52

      Anyone else try this?
      I gave it a go, looks like it gave me a month at $6.49 but now says my subscription expires on 17th September.
      They've also bumped the "Monthly Subscription (1 Month)" to match the other $8.99 "Paramount+ monthly (1 Month)"

        Raspberry pi 2 (using it as torrent server with with plex)
        With few steps you can trigger the download from your phone using the torrent client app on your mobile. By using a wifi plug I turn on the raspberry on demand (so I never touch my rasberry unless to do updates)

    There hasn't been a new South Park episode since 2019 (not counting the 2 specials), the Wahlberg movie has average reviews (5.4/10), and Twilight Zone was cancelled last year and also very average reviews (5.8/10). You left out Star Trek Discovery/Picard - isn't that a huge drawcard?

    • Mr Chew on 11/08/2021 - 07:01

      Star Trek Discovery is on Netflix and Picard is on Amazon Prime. Don't know how long their deals are but if they come to Paramount + along with Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds then I will definitely subscribe.

      • tm32 on 11/08/2021 - 07:26

        Amazon likely will lose local rights for these, at least for the newer seasons.

      • Dogstar on 11/08/2021 - 07:30

        All the current Star Treks in one place would've been an instant sub from me but it wasn't to be. The only way they'll get me at this point is if SNW is an exclusive, which I hope it isn't.

  • sixthirty on 11/08/2021 - 08:32

    Why do people complain about the combined cost of streaming services? It takes a lot to get up to the $130pm that Platinum Foxtel used to cost.

      Especially if you sub with a shared family account from the classifieds

    • branners on 11/08/2021 - 09:26

      Agreed. With Kayo, Netflix, Stan, Amazon, Disney and Apple Plus and a cheap internet deal I found here on OzB, I still pay less than I used to for internet and Foxtel (which I needed to follow the sports I like more than anything). And now I can watch just about any movie I want, except for a few.

      • sixthirty on 11/08/2021 - 11:06

        Also Foxtel was specific to your house, and extra boxes = extra $. I have Kayo ($25), Netflix ($15), Disney ($12), UFC ($12), Stan ($12), Optus Sport ($10), NFL League ($20) and now Paramount ($10).

        Still way better content than Foxtel and more control over it. Packages of channels is what killed Foxtels value.

        • lonewolf on 11/08/2021 - 13:11

          Foxtel is definitely pricey but they pay for a lot of sports including NRL wouldnt have happened last year if not for Fox. Also you dont need the internet and you dont use the internet bandwidth for foxtel (good for people on low internet plans). My stan is 19$. I get Netflix through Foxtel (cheaper price and i get the 4K plan). Btw Kayo is foxtel. Foxtel came about at a time before the internet bandwidth was good enough as well as the idea of streaming wasnt around. They are still trying to recoup their costs for the satellites and cable.

          Also foxtel is good for people in regional areas where there is no internet at all or very slow speeds. Some of the places i have stayed at through Airbnb in hunter valley or coffs harbour etc, dont have much in the way of internet.

          I can also watch my foxtel through an app so its not specific to my house.

          • mj7312 on 11/08/2021 - 16:46

            @lonewolf: We know they're still recouping their costs: it's why Murdoch got the Libs to kill the good NBN.

            • lonewolf on 11/08/2021 - 21:24

              @mj7312: Because of Murdoch and because Libs wanted to contradict anything that Labor put forward and sadly a lot of people fell for the Lib lies about NBN and it ended up costing us way more for a sub standard service. Some people dont have a choice of streaming services due to the family members in the household and how much bandwidth they can get.

  • wisc on 11/08/2021 - 08:42

    I wish people would stop supporting these new start ups, 2-3 streaming services fine… but all these new start ups are doing is pulling content from existing companies (EG when disney pulled all there content from netflix) so you have to pay more for more streaming services to get the content you want.

    its crazy.

    unpopular opinion:
    and 1-2 dollars less???? Paramount, your not impressing anyone bar those who need to throw money to the wall and have it for the sake of having it.

    i hope a majority of them fail so we can consolidate into just a few.
