The post Disney Plus gift cards – delivery, info, prices, and why you should buy one appeared first on Game News.
]]>How much is this going to cost, though? We’ve gone into detail below, so click the relevant section to jump straight to that info (or if you’re feeling impatient, you can always check in with the Disney Plus website (opens in new tab) itself). However, be aware that Disney Plus gift cards always provide a full year of the service no matter where you buy it – there isn’t another option for a small period of time.
To get the full scoop on how Disney Plus gift cards work, keep on scrolling down the page – we have plenty more nuggets of wisdom for you here courtesy of our dedicated bargain-hunting team. Just remember, these cards can only be activated by new subscribers. That means recipients who already have a membership for Disney Plus will not be able to redeem any card you give them. With that in mind, we’d highly recommend checking before committing to a purchase.
Disney Plus gift card (1 year) | $79.99 at Disney Plus (opens in new tab)
Want an easy but thoughtful present for a loved one? Disney Plus offers a digital gift card that can be delivered to any email address you like on the day of your choosing. That makes timing it for special occasions very simple, whether it’s a few weeks away or today. Just make sure the recipient doesn’t already have Disney Plus – otherwise they won’t be able to redeem the card.

Got a loved one that adores Disney? So long as they don’t already have a membership to the streaming service, this is the perfect gift. Besides being delivered to an email address of your choosing instantly, it saves you around £16 compared to paying for a normal monthly subscription. Just make sure the recipient doesn’t already have Disney Plus, as they won’t be able to redeem the card.
Disney Plus gift card (1 year) | $119.99 at Disney Plus (opens in new tab)
It may have taken a while to arrive, but you can finally pick up a Disney Plus gift card in Canada. It’s got the same great value, too – you’re receiving 12 months for the price of 10 with this offer. Be sure they don’t already have Disney Plus, though, as existing members can’t use the card.

Although it took a while to arrive, Disney fans in Australia can now take advantage of the official gift card that offers a full year of the streaming service. Just remember, the recipient can’t already have Disney Plus – if they do, the card won’t work.

Hoping to pick up an actual Disney Plus gift card you can hold in your hands? That might be a little tricky. Physical cards are hard to come by, and they’re only available in select USA Disney Stores and the Disney Parks. Consequently, most of us will need to make do with the standard digital code.

Unfortunately, Disney Plus gift cards haven’t been released everywhere the streaming service can be found. That means you’ll need to check and see if there’s an equivalent for your region.
If you don’t have any luck, be warned: you cannot use Disney Plus gift cards from outside of your country, as it won’t work and you’ll have wasted both your money and time.
If your region doesn’t offer Disney Plus gift cards yet, don’t fret – there are plenty of gift ideas that can tide you over in the short term. We’d recommend starting with the excellent Disney Villainous board game, or The Haunted Mansion board game; they’re ideal for any Disney fan looking for something new.

Want to see what all the fuss is about yourself? While the Disney Plus free trial is sadly no more, the deals we’ve been left with are still aggressively reasonable. You’ll find the latest offers below.
As for more info on whether the streaming service is worth your time, be sure to check out our Disney Plus review.
Disney Plus + Hulu + ESPN Plus (USA only) | $13.99 per month (opens in new tab)
If you want the best-value option for Disney Plus, it’s this one. Despite being more expensive per month, it gets you three times the amount of content and fills out some gaps in Disney’s programming. Namely, Hulu offers mature dramas while ESPN throws in more sport than you’ll know what to do with.
View Deal (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)
Disney Plus + Hulu (no ads) + ESPN Plus (USA only) | $19.99 per month (opens in new tab)
The ads on Hulu can be a real nuisance, and this offer allows you to avoid them entirely. Mileage for this one will of course vary, but because interruptions seem to be more frequent on newer shows you’ll want to watch, it’s worth the extra few bucks so far as we’re concerned.
View Deal (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)
Disney Plus | $7.99p/m (USA) (opens in new tab) / £7.99p/m (UK) (opens in new tab) / $11.99p/m (CA/AU) (opens in new tab)
Looking for the cheapest possible option? It’s this one. The standard monthly membership for Disney Plus won’t cost you much more than a few coffees, and it can be cancelled at any time.

]]>The post Disney Plus sign-up: get the cheapest prices and deals for the streaming service appeared first on Game News.
]]>As an example, the cheapest Disney Plus sign-up price right now aside from the monthly subscription (opens in new tab) is a free membership via internet or phone contracts (like Verizon in the USA (opens in new tab) or O2 in the UK (opens in new tab)). Meanwhile, the best value offer is the Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus bundle (opens in new tab). Exclusive to the USA, it saves you roughly $6 compared to buying each service separately. That makes it one of the better Disney Plus deals in terms of value. In fact, it’s yet to be beaten.
Ready for more? Here’s everything you need to know in order to find the cheapest Disney Plus sign-up prices.

There’s no cancellation fee and you’re able to jump ship at any time
Don’t worry though, you won’t have to commit long-term with this Disney Plus sign-up. Because there’s no cancellation fee and you’re able to jump ship at any time, simply cancel your membership before the subscription renews. That means you can fill your boots with as much Disney content as you like without paying more than the price for a couple of coffees.
Oh, and remember – UK, Canadian, and Australian readers get to enjoy the new Star channel regardless of whether they’re investing in a monthly or yearly subscription, too. It’s included with all memberships in those regions as standard at no extra charge.

Either way, we’d say it’s improved dramatically since launch; the addition of numerous shows set across the Avengers and Star Wars universes make it worthwhile for anyone interested in those franchises. To be precise, The Mandalorian, Moon Knight, Loki, and WandaVision are firmly in must-watch territory.
Because our team loves Pixar movies, we’re also happy that the studio’s newest films are available on Disney Plus long before they arrive anywhere else. In much the same way, it has exclusive dibs on most of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films (aside from a few outliers like Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk, anyway). That means it’s impossible to stream the likes of Shang-Chi anywhere else.
Sure, it can’t match the library of Netflix. But every Disney Plus sign-up streams in 4K resolution with HDR whenever possible. That’s something you have to pay for separately with the competition.
Worried about the novelty wearing off, on the other hand? Although there are always going to be content dry-spells, these are few and far between at the moment. Disney Plus sign-up members are being inundated with original series right now, and the company is showing no signs of slowing down. Indeed, it announced that we’re getting 10 new Marvel and Star Wars shows in the next few years alone, so there’s plenty of reason to sign up for Disney Plus deals now or in the future.

The thought of investing in yet another streaming service can strike fear into the heart of the bravest soul. But you don’t need to worry – the Disney Plus price is fairly low. In fact, the average cost of a Disney Plus sign-up comes in below a Standard HD month of Netflix. That’s not bad value for money, especially when weighed up against the amount of content in the library.
OK, so it’s disappointing that the free trial is gone (RIP). But the monthly or yearly subscriptions most of us are left with are pretty reasonable on the whole. Actually, the annual membership is one of the best Disney Plus deals out there – it gets you 12 months for the price of 10.
Here are the best Disney Plus bundles where you are.
Disney Plus (monthly) | $7.99 per month (opens in new tab)
If you want the cheapest possible Disney Plus price, this is what we’d recommend. Despite being the least-expensive offer, it still gives access to everything the service has in its library.
Disney Plus (one year) | $79.99 one-off payment (opens in new tab)
An annual subscription gets you 12 months of Disney Plus for the price of 10, so it’s the clear winner if you want you money to go further. You’re saving roughly $16 per year compared to a rolling monthly membership.
Disney Plus, Hulu, ESPN Plus | $13.99 per month (opens in new tab)
This Disney Plus sign-up deal offers three services for the price of a single month of Standard HD Netflix. It aims to provide something for everyone; the mature dramas of Hulu, sports from ESPN Plus, and Disney’s family-friendly fare.
Disney Plus, Hulu (no ads), ESPN Plus | $19.99 per month (opens in new tab)
This bundle is the same as the one listed above, but there’s a key difference – you won’t get any ads on Hulu. Because these can interrupt whatever you’re watching with (irritating) regularity, that’s no bad thing.
1-year Disney Plus gift card | $79.99 at Disney Plus (opens in new tab)
Want to give Disney Plus to someone else? This digital voucher is for you. It gets the recipient a full year of the streaming service, and it can be delivered instantly to any email address you choose. In other words, it’s perfect if you need a last-minute gift (don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone). Just remember, it can only be redeemed by new subscribers.
Disney Plus (monthly) | $11.99 per month (opens in new tab)
How much is the Disney Plus price in Canada? Not as much as you might think – it’s just shy of $12 per month. There’s an awful lot of content available for that, and it comes in 4K HDR whenever possible.
Disney Plus (one year) | $119.99 one-off payment (opens in new tab)
If you’re going to be watching a lot of Disney Plus over the next few months (what with a new season of The Mandalorian and Marvel shows like She-Hulk on the way), then this is the deal to go for. It gets you a full year of the streaming service at a discount, allowing you to save around $24 on the standard monthly Disney Plus price. That’s 12 months for the price of 10.
Disney Plus (monthly) | £7.99 per month (opens in new tab)
The cheapest Disney Plus price right now is this monthly subscription. However, don’t think you’re losing out if you choose it. It gives you access to everything the service has on offer in 4K HDR whenever possible. Additionally, you can cancel your membership at any time – there’s no binding contract.
Disney Plus (one year) | £79.90 one-off payment (opens in new tab)
This annual membership is roughly £16 cheaper than paying month-by-month, and you’re essentially getting 12 months for the price of 10. It’s one of the better Disney Plus deals out there right now.
O2 + Disney Plus | Up to 6 months of Disney Plus (opens in new tab)
If you want a new phone or SIM only deal (opens in new tab), this O2 bundle gets you a Disney Plus sign-up worth up to £48. Already an O2 customer? No sweat, you might still be eligible if you upgrade your contract (just weigh up the cost versus the standard Disney Plus price).
Disney Plus gift card (1 year) | £79.90 at Disney Plus (opens in new tab)
Looking for a good present to give the Disney fan in your life? This gift card is a fair shout. It’s delivered to any email address you like at any time you want, and that means it’s perfect if you’ve left your shopping a little late. However, bear in mind that it can only be redeemed by new subscribers.
Disney Plus (monthly) | $11.99 per month (opens in new tab)
Disney Plus deals for a standard month will cost you $12. When you consider the hundreds of hours of content you’re getting for your money (in full 4K HDR whenever possible), this offer is fairly solid. You can cancel at any time, too – there isn’t a binding contract to any Disney Plus sign-up.
Disney Plus (one year) | $119.99 one-off payment (opens in new tab)
A full year of Disney Plus is great value for money, particularly because it saves you cash on the standard monthly Disney Plus price. More specifically, you’re getting 12 months for the cost of 10.
Disney Plus with Hotstar (Premium) | ₹299 per month (opens in new tab) / ₹1499 a year (opens in new tab)
Disney Plus Hotstar bundles are the only Disney Plus deals in India. They are good offers, though. Besides Disney Plus access on the Premium tier, you’re also getting multiplex and new Indian movies, Hotstar specials, no ads, and Full HD streaming with Dolby 5.1 audio. In addition, content is available in English or with several dubbed options.
Disney Plus with Hotstar (Premium) | ₹1499 for one year (opens in new tab)
If your budget can stretch to it, we’d recommend the annual option over the monthly subscription. Compared to paying the ₹299 monthly fees, you’re saving a massive ₹2088 a year.
Disney Plus with Hotstar (VIP) | ₹399 a year (opens in new tab)
The lower VIP tier is only available as an annual subscription, but it’s still very affordable. Just remember that you’ll only get dubbed Disney Plus content and will lose “English shows and Disney Plus originals”. You should also be aware that you can only watch on one screen instead of two. Meanwhile, video quality is limited to standard HD instead of Full HD, audio is Stereo only, and you’ll have to put up with some ads.

What is Premier Access? Don’t worry, it isn’t as complicated as it might seem. Although it’s not available right now, Premier Access allowed users to watch brand-new movies from the comfort of their own home… for a small fee. This meant that all Premier Access films had to bought separately – they weren’t included in any Disney Plus sign-up.
While that may seem harsh, it worked a bit like visiting the theater; Premier Access was your ticket. And in all fairness, it did end up being less expensive than taking a family of four to the pictures. It wasn’t a one off, either. Once you paid for a Premier Access film, you could rewatch it as often as you liked.
Regardless, there’s no need to worry about it now – there aren’t any Premier Access movies on offer right now. That might change in the future, so watch this space!

What is a Disney Plus sign-up available on? The answer to this question is easy. Disney Plus is compatible with most devices, ranging from Smart TVs to smartphones. If you have a PlayStation or Xbox console, you’re also in luck.
Here’s a list of compatible devices:
Most of these allow you to download the app and get started right away – so long as you already have an account (available here (opens in new tab)), you just need to sign in. You can also head over to the Disney Plus website and use the streaming service through your internet browser if you’d prefer.
For more info, take a look at our guide on how to download Disney Plus.

Disney Plus experienced a staggered release across the world, but it’s now available for you to try across the USA, UK, Europe, Australia, and beyond. That probably means you can get a Disney Plus sign-up and start watching right away, all at the click of a button.
We’ve written down where you can get Disney Plus deals below, and will keep adding to the list as more regions go online.
If you can’t grab a Disney Plus sign-up in your area yet, don’t worry. The company has said that it has “plans to [launch Disney Plus] in nearly all major regions of the world within the next two years.” That means you should be able to get involved before long.
In the meantime, you can always fill that Disney-shaped void with the excellent Disney Villainous or The Haunted Mansion board game. They’re great gifts for yourself or the Disney fan in your life.
To give your setup an upgrade and make the most out of the Disney Plus 4K capabilities, head over to our guide on the best gaming TVs (available here for UK readers) or the best OLED TVs. Don’t forget about the best gaming sound system, either.

]]>The post How to watch Jungle Cruise online – heres where can you stream the Disney movie appeared first on Game News.
]]>So, how much is it to watch Jungle Cruise online? If you’re not a subscriber already, it isn’t all that expensive to watch Jungle Cruise – a month costs with a $7.99 in the USA (opens in new tab), and it’s a similar story elsewhere. Once you’ve paid the fee, you can then stream Jungle Cruise whenever and wherever you like (along with everything else Disney has to offer).
Is it worth the fuss, though? If you liked Pirates of the Caribbean or The Mummy, this should definitely be on your radar. As we mentioned in our Jungle Cruise review, “there’s a lot to take in… so much so, in fact, you may need to have a quiet lie-down afterwards.” Considering the fact that it’s based on a classic and slightly more chilled-out Disney Parks ride (one that was recently adapted for tabletop in Disney’s Jungle Cruise board game), that’s not bad going.
To get the best deal, be sure to check out the Disney Plus bundles and Disney Plus sign-up offers we’ve listed below. They’ll allow you to watch Jungle Cruise online for as little as possible.
Disney Plus | $7.99 per month (opens in new tab)
The easiest and cheapest way to watch Jungle Cruise is via a standard $7.99 membership (opens in new tab). That gets you access to everything on the service, including this movie. A better-value option would be the annual $79.99 fee for a year (opens in new tab), though – it gets you 12 for the price of 10. Another good option is the bundle for $13.99 per month (opens in new tab) that offers Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus.
Disney Plus | $11.99 per month (opens in new tab)
Want to watch Jungle Cruise online? All you need is a Disney Plus membership, and the cheapest current offer is the $11.99 per-month subscription (opens in new tab). With the Disney Plus free trial (opens in new tab) is gone, you won’t find a more affordable option. That doesn’t mean it’s the best value, though. That honor goes to the annual fee of $119.99 (opens in new tab), mostly because it provides 12 months of the streaming service for the price of 10.
Disney Plus | £7.99 per month (opens in new tab)
You can stream Jungle Cruise online at the click of a button – so long as you have a Disney Plus membership, anyway. The cheapest option is the standard monthly subscription that costs £7.99 (opens in new tab). As for the best-value offer, the annual pass at £79.90 (opens in new tab) gets you 12 months for the price of 10.
Disney Plus | $11.99 per month (opens in new tab)
You’re now free to stream Jungle Cruise with a Disney Plus membership in Australia, and a single month costs $11.99 (opens in new tab). If you’d prefer better bang for buck, you can also get an annual pass for $119.99 (opens in new tab) – it gets you 12 months for the price of 10.
Check for Disney Plus deals in your region (opens in new tab)
If your country has Disney Plus, you should be able to watch Jungle Cruise there. Can’t find the Disney streaming service in your region? Fret not, as Disney has promised a worldwide rollout over the next few years.
If you’re unsure about Disney’s streaming service, don’t forget to check out our full Disney Plus review for all the details. It breaks down whether it’s worth your time and money, which is quite an important consideration now that the free trial is no more. We’ve also got the lowdown on what Premier Access is for those who are curious.
Meanwhile, anyone hoping to upgrade their setup should take a look at the best gaming TVs (the UK version of the article is available here). It’s crammed with suggestions for budget or premium 4K screens, all of which should work brilliantly with Disney Plus, your consoles, and the best gaming sound system.
Be sure to pay our other streaming guides a visit, too. You can get handy discounts thanks to the latest Hulu bundle deals, HBO Max prices, or ESPN Plus costs and bundles.

]]>The post How to watch Marvel What If…? and stream the animated series for less appeared first on Game News.
]]>How do you watch Marvel What If…? online for less, then? Now that the Disney Plus free trial is gone, the cheapest way of seeing the show would be via a standard monthly Disney Plus subscription (opens in new tab). This costs $7.99 (opens in new tab) in the US, £7.99 (opens in new tab) in the UK, and $11.99 (opens in new tab) in both Canada or Australia.
However, that isn’t necessarily the best method in terms of value. Instead, the honor goes to a three-for-the-price-of-two bundle with Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus for $13.99 per month (opens in new tab). That way you get something to suit everyone, particularly thanks to Hulu’s more grown-up dramas (this has always been a weak spot for the family-friendly Disney Plus).
No matter which deal you go for, the investment’s worth it to watch Marvel What If…? online. This season’s quality kept improving from episode to episode, and it almost always sneaks in a few “WTF?” moments. More specifically, this animated series lays the groundwork for many future MCU stories thanks to its focus on alternate universes. What if Agent Carter took the super-soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers? What if T’Challa was abducted by aliens instead of Peter Quill? As we mentioned in our review, it’s a fun idea with endless possibilities. And because these worlds are canonical additions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, characters from the show might appear in live-action movies further down the line.
Good to go? Strap in – we’ve listed the best Disney Plus sign-up deals and Disney Plus bundles for your region below.
Disney Plus | $7.99 per month (opens in new tab)
If you want to stream What If…? from start to finish, your cheapest option would be a standard Disney Plus membership for $7.99 per month (opens in new tab). You can also get an annual subscription for $79.99 per year (opens in new tab), (offering you 12 months for the price of 10) or a triple bundle with Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus for $13.99p/m (opens in new tab) or $19.99p/m with no Hulu ads (opens in new tab). Although that bundle deal is more expensive than the normal monthly rate, it does get you three different services that should offer something for everyone in the family.
Disney Plus | $11.99 per month (opens in new tab)
All you need to watch What If…? online in Canada is Disney Plus. The show is exclusive to that streaming service, so you can take a look at all nine episodes with the $11.99 p/m (opens in new tab) membership. Alternatively, you can grab an annual sub if you want better value for money (it gets you 12 months for the price of 10).
Disney Plus | £7.99 per month (opens in new tab)
Want to stream What If…? in the UK? There aren’t many deals right now, so your cheapest option would be the £7.99 per month (opens in new tab) membership. An annual subscription is better value for money if you’re eager to save pennies in the long run, though – it gets you 12 months for the price of 10. You can also grab a Disney Plus gift card (opens in new tab) to let a loved one watch What If online.
Disney Plus | $11.99 per month (opens in new tab)
Where can you stream What If…? in Australia? You guessed it: on Disney Plus. The entire series is a Disney Plus exclusive, and the cheapest way of getting each episode would be the $11.99 per month (opens in new tab) subscription (or $12.99p/m (opens in new tab) in New Zealand). Want maximum value for money, on the other hand? The $119.99 annual membership (opens in new tab) is what we’d recommend thanks to it getting you 12 months for the price of 10.
Disney Plus with Hotstar (Premium) | ₹299 per month (opens in new tab) / ₹1499 a year (opens in new tab)
Want to watch What If…? online in India? Disney Plus Hotstar bundles are the only way to do it. Fortunately, they’re good value for money: as well as Disney Plus access on the Premium tier, you get multiplex and new Indian movies to go with Hotstar specials, no ads, and Full HD streaming with Dolby 5.1 audio. Grab the annual option and it’s even better – you’re saving a massive ₹2088 a year compared to paying the ₹299 monthly fees.
Watch Disney Plus in your area (opens in new tab)
If you’ve got Disney Plus in your area, you should be able to watch What If…? online. It’s a Disney Plus exclusive and is releasing in most regions at the same time, so members can get in on the action right away. Anyone that doesn’t have access to Disney Plus in their country shouldn’t panic, however – the House of Mouse has stated that the streaming service will launch across the globe in the next year or two.
Not sure about the streaming service? That’s fair enough – we’ve got more than enough to choose from these days, so it’s worth making sure you’re getting max value for money. We’ve got a full rundown on Disney Plus in our guide, and you can get a more in-depth look via our full Disney Plus review. This rates it on content, usability, and how it stacks up against the competition.

]]>The post How to watch Cruella – where can you stream the new Disney movie? appeared first on Game News.
]]>In terms of price, a Disney Plus subscription will set you back $7.99 per month (opens in new tab) in the USA, £7.99p/m (opens in new tab) for UK readers, and $11.99p/m (opens in new tab) if you’re based in Canada or Australia. You can then watch Cruella and everything else the streaming service has to offer in 4K (wherever possible, anyway).
And yes, that might feel expensive if you mainly want a Disney Plus membership to stream Cruella. But look at it this way; it’s practically crying out for a (safe, socially distanced) viewing party with friends or family if you all missed out on being able to watch Cruella in theaters. It’s also a lot cheaper than it was a few weeks ago; beforehand, you had to pay for Disney Premier Access as well to see the film.
It’s certainly worth a look. As the origin story of the classic villain, it’s similar to Maleficent in that it adds depth to a character we thought we knew. Because Emma Stone is so good in the title role, it’s a lot of fun too.
Ready to get started? Here are the best Disney Plus bundles and Disney Plus sign-up deals to stream Cruella in your region.
Disney Plus | $7.99 per month (opens in new tab)
All you need in order to watch Cruella online is a Disney Plus subscription – once you’re signed up, you can stream the film as often as you like and in super-sharp 4K resolution (if you have a 4K TV, of course). Although the standard monthly rate is the cheapest option right now, the option with best value for money has to be the bundle with Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus for $13.99 p/m (opens in new tab).
Disney Plus | $11.99 per month (opens in new tab)
If you don’t have Disney Plus yet, all you need to do to watch Cruella is sign up for a membership of your choice (there’s a monthly subscription or an annual one that gets you 12 months for the price of 10 (opens in new tab)). You can then see the movie at the push of a button, and all in 4K.
Disney Plus | £7.99 per month (opens in new tab)
All you need in order to watch Cruella online is a Disney Plus membership. Once that’s out of the way, you can stream Cruella as often as you like – there’s no expiry date. You also get access to everything else the service has to offer; there aren’t any limits or tiers for this one.
Disney Plus | $11.99 per month (opens in new tab)
Once you’ve got a Disney Plus membership (any of them will do), all you have to do is boot up the app, kick back, and enjoy the film – you can watch Cruella straight away.
Watch Disney Plus in your area (opens in new tab)
If your country has Disney Plus, you should be able to watch Cruella there (prices will vary depending on your region). And if not, don’t panic. You should be able to see it soon, as some areas experience a slight delay – that certainly happened with Black Widow earlier this year.
If you’re still not convinced by Disney’s streaming service, be sure to visit our full Disney Plus review. It breaks down how the streaming service compares to the competition, not to mention whether it’s worth your time and money (which is quite an important consideration now that the Disney Plus free trial is gone).
Meanwhile, anyone hoping to upgrade their setup should take a look at the best gaming TVs (the UK version is available here). It’s full of recommendations for affordable or premium 4K screens, all of which will work brilliantly with your consoles, Disney Plus, and the best gaming sound system.
Don’t miss our other streaming guides, either; you can get handy discounts thanks to the latest Hulu bundle deals, HBO Max prices, or ESPN Plus costs and bundles.

]]>The post How to watch Star Wars: The Bad Batch online and stream on TV around the world appeared first on Game News.
]]>The cheapest way to watch Star Wars: The Bad Batch online would be through a standard Disney Plus membership (opens in new tab) for $7.99 per month in the US, £7.99p/m in the UK, and $11.99p/m in Canada or Australia. Besides being the same price as a couple of cups of coffee, there’s no binding contract either – you can cancel whenever you like.

]]>The finale landed on May the 4th (be with you) 2020, so now the entire Skywalker story can be streamed in one place. And for very little, we might add; a fairly low Disney Plus subscription (opens in new tab) cost allows you to binge the entire Star Wars saga without paying all that much. It’s certainly cheaper than buying the sci-fi epic on Blu-ray or DVD.
So, what’s the deal with Rise of Skywalker? Taking place one year after Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the galaxy has been shaken by the apparent resurrection of Emperor Palpatine – that crusty-faced villain from the first six films who got bumped off in Return of the Jedi. Now he’s gathering an army to oversee the dominance of his new ‘Final Order’, and it’s up to our heroes to stop him. Love it or hate it, there’s no denying that this is a finale full of spectacle.
If you’re curious about where it fits within the saga, the chronological order is as follows:

]]>The post Is Mulan Premier Access worth it on Disney Plus? appeared first on Game News.
]]>Should you bother, then? Personally speaking, I’d say the offer is worthwhile – but only if two or more of you want to see the film.
Yes, the double-tap payment of a membership and Mulan Premier Access is expensive (what is Premier Access (opens in new tab)? Our explainer has the details). But it’s notably cheaper than many theatres if you aren’t watching alone. Let’s say you have a Disney Plus sign-up (opens in new tab) already; the one-off Mulan Premier Access fee of $29.99 (opens in new tab) / £19.99 (opens in new tab) / AU$34.99 (opens in new tab) / CA$34.99 (opens in new tab) is less than it’d cost for a family of four – or even a couple, in some cases – to go to a mainstream US Cinemark or UK Odeon.
Alright, so you’re not getting the same experience as visiting a theatre. Watching from your living room can’t match the big screen with its one-two punch of true 4K and advanced surround sound. That’s part of what you’re paying for with your ticket. What’s more, the atmosphere of watching something alongside a live audience (while armed with ludicrously overpriced snacks) is unique. Just think of the reaction to Captain America picking up Thor’s hammer during Avengers: Endgame (opens in new tab).

However, this isn’t a fair comparison. Considering everything that’s going on right now, none of the above is strictly possible. Not like before, anyway. Cinemas opening for new releases such as Tenet (opens in new tab) and New Mutants (opens in new tab) doesn’t feel like something we should get used to, at least in the short-term. The audience numbers just don’t seem to support it.
As such, Mulan Premier Access is making the best of a bad situation. We can’t see it any other way, so I’d rather watch it on my TV than wait for goodness knows how long. The alternative is biding our time for an unknown number of months to see the film safely, as has become the case for Black Widow (opens in new tab).
It’s a fun experience in and of itself, too. Being able to gather for a socially-distanced viewing party over someone’s house – perhaps they have a good setup thanks to one of the best gaming TVs (opens in new tab) – is memorable in its own way. We did that with family and friends just after Mulan Premier Access launched. Having gathered a buffet of snacks, drinks, and popcorn, we drew the curtains and settled in to watch the film together. The quality of the movie didn’t matter in the end; we were clawing back a sense of normality, and that counts for a whole lot more (plus, we didn’t have to worry about missing anything during toilet breaks – magic).

If you’re thinking of doing the same, others throwing in a fair share of the cost won’t hurt either. In our case, it made the whole thing a fraction of the price compared to a cinema outing. It’d be a bit pricey if you were only buying for yourself – particularly if you don’t already have one of the Disney Plus bundles (opens in new tab) – but with a handful of friends or family? The value shoots up.
Because of this, I’d say Mulan Premier Access is worth it if you can get a few others involved. And I’m not just talking about value in terms of money. The experience of bringing the cinema home to watch a movie that’s not available anywhere else is memorable, and one I won’t forget any time soon.
If you want to watch Mulan (opens in new tab) via Premier Access, be quick; the movie disappears from the service as of November 2 2020. After that, you’ll have to wait until it goes free for Disney Plus subscribers in a couple of months (opens in new tab).
