Entertaining Disney+

I had the chance to check out The Disney+ channel last night. There were no problems considering, the initial rollout caused problems earlier on in the east coast, but I digress. It just occurred to me that I have the expensive, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Comcast/Xfinity and a few other sites that I rent movies from, if I want.

I was not totally impressed with the new channel only because, I have Plex, hoping to get Plex plus later when my Comcast/Xfinity contract runs out, next year.

Why am I not impressed, as I mentioned, above, I have over 400 movies on my Plex and almost, but not all, are from the Marvel Universe, and I have all of the Star Wars movies. Science Fiction is a main stay for me. In addition, I have about a hundred movies on Vudu.com.

I usually purchase a movie, once a month on that site. I also buy a “free” movie, every other month on Google Play, (taking surveys on their site gets you a small amount of “cash”, usually as small as ten cents and as large as seventy cents.).

I would like to cut out a lot of these services, just to save money, if and when, I cut the cord to Comcast. I have figured out how to add movies to my Plex collection and that works for me. If anything, I wish I could add my VHS collection to Plex, also. I have approximately 300 VSH movies, all the oldies, but goodies!

Is Disney+ worth it, for me to watch just one show, The Mandalorian? The same with Netflix, there are only three shows I watch, weekly. In addition, now that I think about it, I subscribe to HBO and, there are only three shows, I watch, weekly. Are they all worth the price, of course not? However, sitting around, day after day, doing nothing but sipping coffee, by day, and beer, by night, I have to have an outlet and stay entertained.

Will I get Disney+? That remands to be seen. The future, of course, can never be promised.
