To combat this difficult choice, many media and communication companies have started offering bundles. Comcast’s StreamSaver bundle is one of the latest to hit our screens, but is this new bundle worth the money?
What Is Comcast’s StreamSaver Bundle?
Hot on the heels of Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery’s announcement that they’d soon be bundling Disney+, Hulu, and Max, Comcast/Xfinity has come along with an even more attractive deal. Called the StreamSaver, this upcoming bundle will combine Netflix, Peacock, and Apple TV+ subscriptions for one low price: Just $15 a month on top of an existing Comcast plan.
With Netflix currently priced as much as $22.99 a month, Peacock at $11.99 a month (withprices raising again soon), and Apple TV+ at $9.99 a month, anything less than $40 a month is a steal. At only $15, it’s a proper bargain. Granted, you’re getting the ad-supported versions of Netflix and Peacock with StreamSaver, but it’s still quite a deal indeed.
When Will StreamSaver Launch?
At first, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts did not mention a launch date when he announced the StreamSaver bundle. In this initial announcement, he didn’t mention pricing either. This made it hard to know when to expect StreamSaver to launch. But, in all likelihood, the reason was that Comcast still needed to iron out these details internally before going public with the information.
On May 21st, Comcast made it official: StreamSaver would launch the week of Memorial Day. In the meantime, interested individuals should consider getting themselves a Comcast or Xfinity plan before the official launch. That way, signing up for the streaming bundle will be even easier than starting from scratch.
How Comcast’s StreamSaver Bundle Compares
StreamSaver is much more in line with the former bundle than the latter. $15 a month is more than half the price of Venu Sports. It’s hard to imagine Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery’s bundled service beating StreamSaver’s pricing, either. Individual subscriptions to each of the three services in the StreamSaver bundle would cost nearly $25 in all.
Why Comcast’s StreamSaver Bundle Is Worth It
In the streaming service frenzy of this day and age, any amount of savings is attractive. While it might not be worth going through the trouble of changing internet, TV, or phone providers just to reap the benefits of StreamSaver, existing Comcast and Xfinity customers should know that this bundle absolutely seems worth it (no matter what the cost ends up being). With luck, we’ll see more and more competitive bundles popping up in the months to come.
