We have Amazon Prime and Netflix, but they are separate things. I don't know of any package.
We also have Paramount+, but I get that for free via a credit card.
Cheers.
I believe some stuff on Paramount+ can be seen on PlutoTV and it’s free. Been interested the the new Fraser re-boot and found it will be streaming on PlutoTV at no extra cost. We're on;y watching the various Star Trek series. And Free is a good price for that 
Cheers.

At first it was all about number of subscribers. Then these companies realized they needed to make money...
So in the end with all the streaming packages, for most customers the price will be very similar if not more than what one was paying for cable/satellite.
Definitely keeping Disney+ because I enjoy having all the movies available to me anywhere, and it's still Disney for me so I'll keep whatever they offer. Hulu and Netflix I keep because they generally have other shows that hold my interest. I think I get Max becuase I have AT&T for cell, I know I used to. Have to check.
No ads because I'd rather not have ads.

Do you have the Amazon Prime Netflix ? Do they have a package or am I thinking about something else? Maybe cancel everything in January but I love holidays stuff. I was about to cancel Sirius XM last week and then found out they steam Halloween music nonstop like it’s the holiday before Xmas Amazon and Netflix are direct competitors via their streaming offerings. There is no package deal. |

Yes, I’m another one who cancelled. My Son was paying for my Disney+ as my Christmas gift. After seeing the new price, told him not to renew. Just not worth it.

Ok....I found my account billing.
I paid $140.97 for the first three years. Then renewed for $84.79 last year. My next renewal will be in November. And yup, the new bill will be $139.99 for the year. So Disney+ will cost me $11.67 per month. My initial subscription cost me $3.92 per month.
That's what I'm looking at too. It's a tough one. The kids watch it a lot, but that's a steep price. Thanks for the warning! I wasn't aware of the increase, but when I checked my account, the trio premium bundle (Hulu+ no ads, Disney+, and espn+) was rising to $24.99 / month starting 10/12. That's $300 a year. I dropped to only Hulu+, with ads. We rarely even watch Hulu, and almost never D+ and have never even logged into the espn+. Not worth $300! We've been getting Hulu with ads for $2/month for the past three years now. They offer it as a Black Friday deal. We just switch back and forth between Mrs. rowrbazzle and I. Peacock had a similar deal last year. Might be worth keeping an out for them! |

I have zero idea on what I am paying for Disney+. We signed up before it rolled out, getting that super low multi-year deal. We did the same. But then paid for another annual subscription. That was a little more. And that is over in November. So must bundle now. |

My granddaughters all watch Disney+ 24/7. I buy it for them mostly. |

Prime Video is getting ready to raise its ad free service. So will likely only keep it with ads.

We're only watching the various Star Trek series. And Free is a good price for that I grew up with a deep love for Next Gen, Voyager, DS9 and then Enterprise also, and I'd say that the new stuff is worth the price you are paying. In my opinion, anyways! (okay, truth is, I sampled some of the new stuff but I can't watch any of it, even when it's free. The trailers for Lower Decks catch my eye, though) |

Like Brian, I think I have Max through AT&T. About to drop Disney+. I have all of the classics on DVD/Blu-ray, and no grandchildren yet. So that can go. Gotta rethink Hulu. Not sure how much we actually watch that. I’ll keep Amazon for now, but they’re on thin ice with me. Their 2 day free delivery that takes 4 days to ship from the warehouse is getting OLD! Netflix is about 50% interesting and 50% trash. Kind of depends on my mood at the time, I suppose. I can honestly find enough to watch on YouTube, etc, to fill my limited TV watching time. And I mean free YouTube!

Somehow they know!! |

Looking forward to watching the Christopher Pike series and Lower Decks. The latter is very reminiscent of "Inside Job" on Netflix which was excellent.
Cheers.

I'm on the last episode of season 2 of SNW. I really like it, but the musical episode went a bit long, but still fun. The LD/SNW episode is excellent. I'm not as big a fan of Discovery, but I've gotten through season 2 maybe. I'm planning on watching seasons 2 and 3 of Picard first. I have Paramount+ for free until October 10. |

I’m lost, but nothing new there… The only Christopher Pike that I’m familiar with is an author who writes adolescent/young adult fiction. So, what is the series about? |

Christopher Pike just predates Kirk. He was in the original pilot for the Original star Trek and that was featured in a later episode. He's also Spock's captain before Kirk. I've not yet watched that series, but it's about events just before Kirk comes on the scene.
Cheers.
