Was also abit upset on not able to watch Cruella or even the upcoming Black widow. Seems that all hotstar will only get access to this movies 3 months later. Even the India site will not screen same day as in cinema unlike the western countries. Right now i can see trailers for Raya which is releasing soon but 3 months after its theatrical release.

So those plans under hotstar whether will be 3 months late always (and must subscribed to premium some more).

If it really is then this assteruk really damn chee bye. Can't compete with them so they decided to monopolize.

Ayam very sad and angry because Malaysia ALWAYS gets the shortest end of the stick.

In the U.S.:
- Disney+ with Premier Access
- Hulu (can be bundled with Disney+)
- ESPN+

In Australia:
- Disney+ with Premier Access
- Star (which is basically Hulu but for international market, not to be confused with Hotstar which is totally different)

For Malaysia?
- Disney+ WITHOUT Premier Access
- Hotstar (which we all know by now, is hugely inferior compared to even India's own Hotstar, let alone Star in other countries

To rub it in our sad faces, here's Singapork:
- Disney+ with Premier Access
- Star
- Hotstar as a standalone service (WTF)

I don't really mind that much if we don't get Star (sedarlah kita 3rd world country), but why the fuck is Premier Access excluded from our Disney+ la??
You can try VPN to US, or Australia, or to Singapore D+ website, you should be able to see Cruella being made available in Premier Access. Ours xde.

That means when Black Widow comes out July 9th, these countries can stream the movie immediately, while us Msians will have to wait between 45 days to 90 days before the movie gets trickled down to the standard Disney+.

Fuck this shit.

Symptom of our country. No competitive advantage and cant compete globally.

Thats why nowadays content is king (not infrastructure or worse distribution service as this is so easily copyable). Why amazon prime, netflix all wanna acquire content companies. Only thing astro can do is provide local content but market is so small. Hence India can still do because of bollywood industry and China will be same as well. Not sure how big is other ASEAN markets.

Anyway i already discon astro since Feb. Ask me to give back the box tapi never come and collect. Save 1800 every year. was waiting for disney+ only and hopefully come with the Fox Sports but looks like have to wait a bit longer.

Hulu and ESPN+ only available in the US. Other countries get Star (not Hotstar) as a Hulu alternative.
Here's my understanding:
- Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ are all standalone services, not bundled.
- As such, many users in US subscribe to the standard Disney+ without Hulu and ESPN+, and then VPN to Canada, login to the same Disney+ account, and then enjoy Star that offers more content.

cannot refund
quality is really shit weh.. and sometimes I get buffering with my time 500mb.

No settings and bullshit subtitles. 999% will not continue.

Wow! Never knew about this, thanks!

Mind showing us how you do it here? Also, do you get Premier Access?

Confirm Astro is involved, just like how they did with HBO GO.
HBO Go initially launched exclusive for Astro subscribers. Only 1 full year later non-Astro subscribers can join in. Really damn chee bye this Astro. Fuck them.

Market size is not truly the issue. Korea is doing pretty well nowadays. It depends on how you want to market it and how much the government wants to control it.

Sorry, that was my US Disney+. Subscribe since the beginning but never knew about the extra content. I thought it was 100% the same everywhere. 🤭

From 10 minutes of browsing, I think Disney+ with Star really can challenge Netflix.

I’ve disconnected Astro since 2 years ago..but I’m still trolling them. Some back dated fee I still owe them..I’m gonna pay RM1 next month

What content the US has we dont have?
I saw most Marvel dramas and Star Wars contents are there …
