Disney+ & Hulu Included In Comcast’s New Xfinity StreamSaver Bundle
Comcast has announced a major expansion of its StreamSaver Bundles for Xfinity, adding the Disney+ and Hulu bundle, along with HBO Max, Peacock, Netflix, and Apple TV.
This bundle offers customers multiple ways to bundle and save up to 45 per cent on the biggest names in streaming. Xfinity TV and Internet customers now have exclusive access to the largest marketplace of premium streaming bundles, with the simplicity of managing them all on one bill.
With the new StreamSaver bundles, customers can select combinations of three, four or even all five apps to create the perfect entertainment bundle with the movies, shows and sports they love most – whether that’s Oscar-winning films like “Hamnet”* on Peacock, “F1 The Movie” on Apple TV and “KPop Demon Hunters” on Netflix, blockbuster movies like “*Zootopia 2″ *on Disney+, drama series like the Hulu Original “The Testaments”, or medical dramas like HBO Max’s “The Pitt”.
Customers can browse, compare and buy one of eight available bundles – featuring combinations of Peacock Premium (with ads), Netflix Standard with ads, Apple TV, the Disney+, Hulu Bundle (With Ads), and HBO Max Basic With Ads – within StreamStore, Xfinity’s digital storefront for streaming apps and services. Xfinity StreamStore is a one-stop shop for one of the world’s largest catalogues of entertainment, including over 450 streaming apps and channels and 200,000 movies and TV shows to rent or purchase. Xfinity will continue to expand StreamStore’s offerings with additional streaming services and other options available through both bundled packages and à la carte selections.
To support the launch, Xfinity has rolled out new enhancements to StreamStore that bring customers unmatched flexibility to create their perfect bundle, whether that’s upgrading one or all of their StreamSaver apps to ad-free tiers, transferring existing subscriptions with ease, or adding more apps à la carte. StreamStore is seamlessly available on Xfinity.com or directly on Xfinity X1 and Xfinity Xumo Stream Box by saying “StreamStore” into the voice remote.
Jon Gieselman, Chief Growth Officer, Connectivity & Platforms, Comcast, said in a statement regarding the new deal:
“Xfinity StreamStore puts customers in control – making it easy to mix, match, and manage the streaming services they actually want. Customers can use StreamStore to build a personalized collection of streaming products, while enjoying real savings. Now, they only need to subscribe to the streaming products they want and can also manage their selections whenever they want. StreamStore is available to both Xfinity WiFi and Xfinity TV customers.”
Customers looking for even more entertainment options can pair StreamSaver with one of Xfinity’s new national video plans, offering simple all-in pricing that, when combined with high-speed Internet and unlimited mobile, can save customers an additional $70 per month compared to competitors. Every plan comes with an X1 4K TV box and voice remote, with advanced features such as Multiview*, *RealTime4K *and Fan View – all included in the package price.
Customers who prefer to stream their live entertainment can add NOW TV, a streaming package of 125+ channels, to select StreamSaver bundles for as little as $5 additional per month. They can opt to take an Xumo Stream Box and voice remote at no additional monthly cost to have seamless access to all their apps on one screen.
Customers can sign up for this deal via Xfinity’s website.
Roger’s Take: One of the biggest problems for streaming services is churn, and one of the biggest problems for the legacy studios is replacing how cable made people pay for things they didn’t want consistently. That’s why these bundles are becoming more popular. If you can get five different streaming services (with ads) for $35 a month, that’s much more appealing than paying for them individually.
The studios love these bundles because they lock customers in for the long run, since people are generally less likely to cancel a bundle, since they will usually be using some elements of each streaming service. It also increases revenue from advertising, as more people have access to their streaming services, thereby boosting viewership. If you already have some of these streaming services, it makes sense to use the bundle, unless you want the more expensive ad-free versions.
