Netflix signs multi-year deal with Disney
- Thread starter Chris3123
- Start date
Anything that beefs up Netflix streaming is a good thing! Even if we have to wait till 2016, by which time HBO will be ready to start streaming The Sopranos on Netflix. 
I guess that this is good news but I'd rather have Stargate SG-1 back.
All Santa Hats so far. Nobody else is allowed in this thread. 
For $74 you can buy the whole show from Amazon and never have to worry about Netflix.

Awesome! I continue to ♥ Netflix! 
a bunch of movies from Disney's catalog will be made available beginning Tuesday.
The article says the Disney catalog won't be available on Netflix until 2016.

They edited the article since I started the thread. It originally said that existing movies would be made available immediately.

Your point is what? If you can spend $8 plus tax a month it's only like 9 months of Netlix.
Weird we have to wait three years, must be other contracts out.

I wonder why they announced it so soon if it will take so long? Surely this doesn't benefit much of anything?

I know there was recently a WB TV Deal done for the UK but it seems Sky have a grip on the big movie studio deals. So I guess this deal or others like it won't be coming to the rest of us.
Interesting tidbit from the article:
The only original content from Starz that I've seen their season of Torchwood. And even though that season was deeply flawed I wonder if this means they might be willing take another crack at it.
Or at the very least maybe they'll take a cue from AMC, HBO and Showtime and create some really great new TV. Then we all benefit.

That's the question. Although I have no idea why they continue such an antiquated system.
This sounds like it may be as much bad news for Starz as it is good news for Netflix. I haven't forgotten Starz' little tiff with Netflix a while back, which resulted in Starz pulling all of their content.
Maybe Starz will do okay building more and more original programming, but I've not seen anything from them that's of, say, HBO-level quality, and if they spread themselves too thin, the quality could suffer even more.
Long-term, this could be really bad for Starz. It could also be really good, if they have some kind of brilliant plan we don't know about.
