the bummer is I'm hearing it's 1080p only on Samsung, fron the Disney plus reddit. If you want 4K fire stick or apple Tv is the way
Was testing out the Sword in the Stone on the XboxOne app and it's gorgeous. So excited about this whole service.
Wouldn't be there at launch due to existing contracts. Disney is smart to do this so that when people search for stuff they want from Disney they can see when it's coming. Any of the Marvel movies showing when they are coming like Civil War?
Mary Poppins make sense because it's 18 months after 07/09 which is when it first appeared on Netflix. It'll disappear from Disney+ 6 years later though for a short period of time.
They will have it eventually and for free. If they really needed it they would have done it like they did with Star Wars. Plus they won't have the entirety of the MCU there unless they buy out the contract or license the content from Sony and Universal. The latter will always run the risk of content being pulled. If they want to spend money to buy anything that's what they should spend on, not stuff that's coming to them regardless.
Problem is the Netflix contract isnt simply expiring. It continues long into the future. All the movies leave Disney Plus in 2026 and goes back to Netflix. I dont think clearing that all up is a waste of money at all.
I'm just going to add the show to my queue and slowly work my way through seasons 11-30 over the next few years. Even a bad episode is watchable.
Me and the boy watched Lady and Trump 2 it looked very good I thought. There is also a 4K hdr short on there also.
I give two to go right to Holiday of future past -
Season 23 Episode 9 and Halloween of Horror-
Season 27 Episode 4 they are up there with some of my favorite episodes
Or Xbox. Watched TFA, TLJ and Monster's University over the weekend, all in 4K/DV :)
Hopefully LG gets the app with proper 4K/DV support as well.
Thats the great part, sadly ps4 doesn't support HDR (or even 4K I think, for Disney plus) lame..
only marvel movies currently listed are infinity war coming June 25,2020. Thor ragnarok coming December 5,2019.
And then some animated iron man and hulk heroes United movie that's February 16,2020
EDIT: oh, seeing Ant-Man and the wasp now as well. Coming July 29, 2020. And black panther coming March 4,2020

What?? Has it been confirmed? What a bummer.
How simple is it to change store location in Xbox to download apps? (I'm currently located in Mexico with a Mexican account, unlike my PS4 which has a US account).
Considering Disney owns Hulu and sharing Hulu can be a real pain in the ass due to how they handle using it on different IPs, do we know how shareable Disney Plus is going to be? I have a niece that lives across the country that I'd like to share my account with, but when I tried it with Hulu, they pretty much shut that down by knocking me off the service if her IP used it.
Are you talking about the original PS4 or Pro? Base can't do 4k no matter what, and Pro can do it on stuff like YouTube.
I think those are just placeholders. Mostly because stuff that's been confirmed for launch has dates pretty far out too. We'll just have to see I guess.

Of course we can confirm all of this tomorrow. It appears for sure HDR is not supported on the pro. 4K MIGHT be.
best devices are the fire stick 4K, Apple TV, Xbox one x, etc.. even smart tv's might not get 4K :/
here's a quote -
"
At this moment I can confirm the following:
- The Disney+ app on XBOX One X does support native 4K and HDR
- The Disney+ app on PS4 Pro does not support HDR (and might not even support native 4K)
- Samsung TV models build in 2016 or later will have access to the Disney+ app on launch day
- Samsung TV models build before 2016 will get access to the app starting from march 2020 (but could be later)
- All Samsung TV's (no matter what build date) do not support 4K or HDR in the Disney+ app, only 1080P SDR will be available"
Yesss! This is going to be my first. This is the first time it'll be available digitally, too! No more VHS recordings!
If that's true, it's Disney's fault for not creating a PS4 app that supports 4K. I watch Netflix in 4K on my Pro all the time.
Say you are Bob Iger and you have 300MM to spend. Do you A) Buy Netflix out of their contract, B) Buy Universal out of Hulk contract, C) Buy distribution rights to previous SM properties from Sony, D) Buy Miramax's library, E)Invest on original content for Disney+
Money is finite. Option "A" would be at the bottom of my list. Leaving in 2026 for 6-18 months before coming back for good is not that big a deal IMO.
Can you disable 4K in the settings? I don't give a shit about it (or notice it) with streaming video and I don't want it to eat up my data cap.

They only recently started filming Falcon & Winter Soldier and WandaVision, so I doubt that we'll get much footage for the MCU shows.

Yeah, those are the only 4 I still see on Netflix. At least in America. I have no idea how they handle Netflix contracts outside of the US though.

This is great news because on the app Guardians 2 said it was coming later. Now its gone Changes somethings
Do we have any idea why this launch lineup expansion happened? I thought they only had something like 4-8 planned for launch originally. Was this always planned as a late marketing push? Sudden contract negotiations?
Late negotiations with other streaming partners more than likely. Nice to see that they've wrangled most of the MCU movies for tomorrow.
I think if they did that, they'd have Infinity War, Black Panther, Ragnarok and Ant-man/Wasp. Regardless, my dad's desire was to use Disney Plus to watch the MCU in order, and now he can kinda do it, but he'll need to switch to his Netflix account near the end.
