This... isn't actually a horrible price point, all things considered. This plus Netflix would be around $25 a month and would more than satisfy my TV needs - no cable needed. I do wish they wouldn't fragment out series so I have to switch between Disney+ and Hulu for example, but that's a minor nitpick. It would be nice to just have everything under one roof so to speak.

Pretty smart. No brainer to switch to this if you already have Hulu Plus without ads. Then, they will slowly increase the price point once everyone has switched to this. Then you get used to...

I don't think it would work logistically, too many variables, but I do really wish there was a restriction to obvious loss leader pricing like this from corporations who can take the hit to smoke...

Don't worry, once Disney owns the entire entertainment industry it will all be on the same platform.
I mean at a $12 price point that would be a steal, but I guess we all know a monopoly isn't exactly going to keep prices low
Hulu is going to offer D+ as an Add-on, so presumably it's all available in the same interface.
Oh, you mean like Cable TV...

It's just starting to build up...
It's $1 more than regular ad-free Hulu, this is a pretty good deal, even considering the fact that Hulu will be losing NBC after a few years.
Edit: I messed up, it's the ad supported model. Meaning it's probably a better deal to get the $70 yearly, and go month for month on Hulu.
