Disney+ is letting you grab three years of service for less than $5 per month

If you’re planning on subscribing to Disney’s new streaming service, Disney+ — and if you’re a fan of Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, or any of the other properties that Disney owns, you really should consider it — there’s another sweet deal on the table for those of you who missed out on the pre-Labor Day special.

For a limited time, a three-year subscription is only $170, according to the Orlando Sentinel. It’s a special offer that will run for an unknown length of time. You can sign up at founders.disneyplus.com and use the code “PARKSPASS3YEARS.”

This deal drops Disney+’s yearly subscription price from $70 to $56 a year — or just under $5 per month — saving you about 20% on annual subscription fees. It’s not as good a deal as the previous one that Disney offered, but if you’re thinking of signing up, it’s still a significant savings.

Digital Trends hasn’t been unable to verify this deal. At the time of publication, going to the website listed above provided us only with a black page and a small animated set of white concentric circles. It’s possible the site has been overwhelmed with demand, so be sure to check back later if you experience the same thing.

Disney will most likely have any issues sorted out soon — and it must be pretty pleased by how eager people are to watch shows and movies like The MandalorianCaptain Marvel, and every single episode of The Simpsons. Yes, that’s right: All of them.

One deal that is very much available still is Disney’s bundle: Disney+ along with EPSN+ and Hulu for $13 per month.

Disney+ debuts on November 12, 2019, and will be the exclusive online home for the entire Disney catalog, including hard-to-find animated movies, all of the studio’s newest feature films, and original live-action TV series based on Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, some of which won’t arrive until your three-year commitment is almost up.

ESPN+ will charge you more for the service starting this week

As announced last month, Disney will raise the price of ESPN+ on Friday, August 13. At that point, the monthly rate for subscribers will rise from $6 per month to $7 per month. The annual rate is also jumping from $60 per year to $70. The good news is that if you want to keep paying the lower rate, you have two viable options.

Because this price increase won’t go into effect until next Friday, you can still lock in a year of ESPN+ for the $60 annual fee. If you maintain your subscription for a second year, the $70 per year price will then go into effect. Either way, it’s still lower than paying $7 a month.

The PS5 is turning a profit for Sony less than a year after launch
Two versions of the PS5 side by side.

With record hardware sales to boast, Sony has announced that the PS5 is no longer selling at a loss, or at least one version of it isn't. The console's more expensive variant, which costs $500 and comes complete with a disk drive, is now generating nothing but profit for Sony according to a report from Bloomberg.

While the physical version of the PS5 is making money for Sony, the same can't be said for the diskless version of the next-gen console. However, according to Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki, the $400 PS5 Digital Edition's costs are being offset by other hardware sales, including continued sales of the PlayStation 4. It's not clear when, or if, the diskless version of the PS5 will begin to return a profit for Sony based on sales alone.
