The streaming bundle is a sneaky deal too good to pass up
Illustration by Alex Castro | The Verge Disney and Walmart are making bundles feel worth it This will be upsetting to learn if you, like me, spent the better part of two decades cutting cords to escape paying for a bunch of sports channels you never watch. But… the bundle is back. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Walmart is partnering with Paramount Plus to include the streaming service as part of Walmart Plus to better rival Amazon Prime. And last week, Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus got hit with price hikes , and their parent company, Disney, showed off two new bundles that felt like a helluva deal. For $14.99, you can get the ad-serving version of Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus. For $19.99, you get Disney Plus and Hulu ad-free. (The ad-serving version of ESPN Plus is also included.) That’s the same price you’d pay for the best tier of Netflix with UHD support and up to four concurrent streams, and it''s way cheaper than any of those services would be on their own. Some of the biggest companies operating today have figured out what Comcast and Charter have known for years.
