Major Streaming Platforms Showcase Black Friday Deals
With Black Friday around the corner, several major streaming platforms are enticing potential subscribers with discounts and bundle deals, providing access to their extensive entertainment libraries at reduced prices. Although Netflix is known for maintaining consistent pricing year-round without Black Friday discounts, other key players are seizing the opportunity to attract new users.
Hulu leads the way by offering a considerable discount on its Hulu Plus Live TV package. Subscribers can save $23 per month for three months, reducing the cost from $83 to $60. This package includes Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+, live TV channels, and unlimited DVR storage. Interested customers should act before the November 19 deadline to avail themselves of this offer.
Amazon Prime Video, typically bundled with an annual Amazon Prime membership priced at $139, often rolls out Black Friday offers on additional channel subscriptions. Historically, channels such as Showtime, Starz, and AMC+ have seen discounted rates, providing value for fans of specific content bundles.
HBO Max is participating with a 17% discount on its annual subscription plans. Customers can purchase the ad-supported plan for $99.99, reduced from $119.88, or opt for the ad-free experience for $169.99, down from $203.88. The Ultimate Ad-Free plan offers 4K streaming at $209.99 for the year, making it an appealing choice for fans of shows like «Succession» and «Game of Thrones.»
Disney+ highlights its bundle options, offering the Disney+/Hulu/Max package for $16.99 per month for the ad-supported version. The ad-free version is priced at $29.99 per month, allowing over 40% savings compared to separate subscriptions. The standalone ad-free Disney+ remains at $15.99 monthly.
The Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle is particularly appealing for sports enthusiasts, priced at $16.99 per month with ads and $26.99 without. It combines sports with Disney and Hulu originals, catering to a wide audience.
As Black Friday approaches, potential subscribers are advised to keep an eye on time-limited offers from services such as Hulu’s Live TV discount and YouTube TV‘s NFL Sunday Ticket promotion, offering an opportunity to save while enjoying diverse content options.»
