How do you even access it? There’s no app in the apple store.

I think it'll be available for download tomorrow morning (New York time) at 6 am.

When I try to click Disney, Pixel or Marvel movies/shows I get a "something went wrong" message and do not go to the page. Even clicking individual videos under those brands won't work and I get stuck on the spinning wheel. Star Wars, National Geographic and other stuff seems to go to the individual TV/Movie page where I can hit play and it works fine and play videos.

Semi decent library in Canada from what I've seen so far.

Any word when console apps and Fire TV apps will be up?

 

[Warden of the North]

Installed on my Roku this morning. System must have been busy as it was struggling.

Gonna crush the Mandalorian over the next couple days

Yeah I tried it on my PC - no windows app yet so in browser. And it wasn't working properly.

Bleh. Forgot about that.

Im actually shocked that every streaming service doesnt do it.

Is the next step a personalized time release so that you cant wait until its done and then binge?

I think the idea is to get people talking about it every week. Game of Thrones became huge in part because of the suspense it built on a weekly basis. People feared for their favourite characters, they came up with their own theories and they shared articles and tweets online plastering the show all over the internet.

If everyone watches the entire season in the span of a few days it will quickly be out of the spotlight until next year.

Not sure if I entirely buy that. I think its so they can charge you for three months (10 episode season) as opposed to one month

Probably a mix of both.

We do get 2 episodes this week though!

I am officially signed up. Website is having issues, though, as expected.

 

[irunthepeg]

The server is so bogged down right now lol. They better get on that.

 

[Beau Knows]

I actually think the weekly release format is going to become more popular in the next few years as shows try to fight for attention, the number of shows out there now is insane.

 

[Tuggy]

I've signed up and with a week free trial, technically haven't paid anything yet so they get a grace period.

I'm a software engineer, so I understand launch issues.

I'm sure their servers are getting hammered

 

[SouthGeorge]

I don't see the hype. Most the people excited for this own all the movies available. Act like it's a different movie because they can now stream it lol

 

[Quack Shot]

The Marvel and Star Wars sections aren’t working for me anymore. Everything else is fine.

They do? I sure don't.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Yeah... There was no way I was signing up on launch day. The technical difficulties were expected. I'll wait until it's more stable

 

[Pilky01]

Still no app in the apple store.

 

[HanSolo]

They do? I sure don't.

Don't you know every recent college graduate (a majority of which were children in what can be argued to be Disney animation's prime) has enough money to have 1000 Disney movies and shows on Blu-ray?
