Who is charging €40?
It‘s a bit unclear so far, but as far as I could find out P+ will come as part of specific Sky Package in Germany with that price.
There have been no other infos indicating otherwise that go beyond hopes and assumptions.

It's pretty clear in the original press release there will be a direct to go consumer option through the Paramount+ app

Thanks, so GSA stands for German Speaking Area (in Europe) then (DACH)?
still sucks that there are no pricing infos, or even a broad release date yet.

Well I'm in New Zealand, and we ain't getting Paramount plus so downloading here I come again.
Incredible PR work, sending cast members to Destination Star Trek in London the weekend to plug the season starting this week, then 48 hours later saying "oh, and by the way you cunts aren't getting to see it," 48 hours before it's due. The PR skills are amazing, getting so much traffic for torrent sites this coming Friday with a single paragraph... Fuck 'em.
(and I say that as someone who's Sky package will include it anyway so it's not like I'd be paying extra. But I'm not waiting extra fucking months either.)

You’re welcome, and yup, at the beginning of the announcement text they even specified GSA meant Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
I absolutely agree, it totally sucks it won’t be available yet, *when* it will be is a question mark, and that the pricing hasn’t been given. I understand why Paramount felt compelled to get their assets all under the same banner, but the execution here is beyond poor, and messes thing up for millions of fans and viewers.
The only concrete pricing information we have is that Paramount+ will be available for subscribers of the Sky Cinema Package, which is €37.50 monthly in Germany.
It‘s also interesting that this doesn’t seem to affect Lower Decks and Picard.
Makes me think that Amazon prefers streaming those shows as long as their original contract permits I stead of accepting buy-out money.
I wish I could have been spying on that call:
Paramount: „We‘d like our shows back, please. Here is a ton of money.“
Amazon: „LOL, nope!“

Well then, it's goodbye to the series for me for the forseeable future. No release date, pricing or any specifics for my country. There's a local news site that names a Sky Showtime thing that's bringing Paramount+ content to the Netherlands "sometime in 2022", but I had to go and Google for that. Not planning on getting *another* subscription just to watch one series that I am not super wild about to begin with. And with respect, we're not exactly a remote, digitally challenged country here. It'll be waiting for the season end and hoping for a free sample period to binge it at best, if and when we get access. Great idea from the folks at Marketing. Great planning for it too. Really smooth. Meh.
I would assume that the holdout was finding a dollar value buy out that Netflix was willing to accept that wasn't too pricy for Paramount to absorb, since they are also having to absorb the loss of what Netflix was paying them each year.
But with them waiting to roll out to parts of Europe, they need as much exclusive content as they can muster.
In their eyes its worth the risk of loss of viewers and loss of a steady paycheck, for th possibility of a gaining a toe hold, that can be grown like how CBS ALL Access was able to grow its 4% marketshare to nearly 30 before the merged Paramount +.

Well, there is one silver lining hopefully.
By the time we get the Show, it will be fully released in the US and they can dump all episode at once onethe rest of us.
So we can take full advantage of any trial period they might offer and immediately cancel again after a binge weekend.

Also, as of tonight all of Discovery disappears from Netflix. 24 hours' notice. Now, we're used to shows rights expiring and disappearing off one service to reappear on another, but that always has something like a 30-day notice period for people still watching. Now, OK, I have the discs and stuff, but there's a shocking tossing of principle here.
Unless they pull a move like Disney did back in 2020 and make the "new" episodes of The Mandalorian and The Clone Wars only come out weekly on D+ when it first launched in the UK etc. even though they had all been out in the US for months at that point.
Will probably be but a matter of time before Picard and Lower Decks disappear from Amazon Prime, clearly ViacomCBS wants P+ to be THE place for new Trek worldwide and the last thing they'll want is shows coming out on a competing service.
Still a bit disappointing but on the flip side they'll be plenty of "new" Trek to watch next year.
I have been enjoying Paramount+ in Sydney, Australia, to watch weekly episodes of "Star Trek: Prodigy", casting it across to my TV using a Google device from my laptop. I thought we were safe whether "Discovery" Season Four stayed with Netflix International or defected to Paramount+. Alas, we, too, must wait for Europe, UK and New Zealand to catch up!
Thus, I have unfollowed all my DSC FB groups to avoid spoilers. It means I also have to avoid new episodes of "The Ready Room".
Grrrrr.
Paramount+ in Australia has a commercial-free option.
