Hey everyone, Michael here and I'm back
0:01
with your Black Friday streaming deals
0:04
update. Let's get started today with my
0:06
top picks of the season. First up is HBO
0:09
Max. $2.99 a month for 12 months. And
0:13
this is the deal that most reminds me of
0:15
Black Fridays in years past, a low
0:18
monthly price, and a full year-long
0:21
discount. Yeah, this is for the plan
0:23
with ads. So, no 4K and no live sports,
0:27
but it's still an affordable entry point
0:29
to watch HBO Max's great library. For
0:32
me, it's a yes. Next up is the Disney
0:35
Plus and Hulu bundle. $4.99 a month for
0:38
12 months. So, not as good as last year,
0:41
but when I looked back, this bundle was
0:43
offered at the same price a few years
0:45
ago. Like most of the deals I'm
0:48
featuring today, it's for the plan with
0:50
ads, new and returning customers, and
0:52
ends on Cyber Monday. But if you
0:55
absolutely hate commercials, there is an
0:57
option to upgrade to adree with this
0:59
one. $14.99 a month for 12 months. Next,
1:04
I want to talk about Walmart Plus. I
1:06
know it's not a streaming service, but
1:08
it does include a streaming perk, your
1:11
choice of Peacock or Paramount Plus. and
1:14
Walmart Plus is half off for Black
1:16
Friday. So, here's why this became a
1:18
mustave for me. First, Paramount Plus's
1:21
Black Friday deal is fairly weak this
1:23
year. $2.99 a month for 2 months of
1:26
either plan. Only really good if you
1:28
want to binge and cancel. And second, a
1:31
big disappointment. Peacock did not
1:34
participate at all. We'll talk more
1:36
about that in my December news update
1:38
video. Now to my top honorable mention
1:41
this year, the deal $5.99 a month for 6
1:44
months. Now, honestly, this wouldn't be
1:47
here if Apple hadn't raised its regular
1:49
price to $1299 a month this year. In my
1:53
opinion, overpriced for Apple's library.
1:56
But at $599 a month, it's going to be
1:58
worth it for a lot of people. Now, I
2:00
want to tell you about two deals that
2:02
caught my eye. These are both a dollar
2:04
each. First is Friendly TV and the
2:07
premium plan. Normally $12.99 a month is
2:10
knocked all the way down to 99 cents a
2:13
month for three months. Great timing for
2:16
holiday movies. And timed after a good
2:18
day in court for Sling TV in its case
2:21
against Disney. The service has
2:23
discounted its Sling Orange Day passes
2:25
to just $1. Keep in mind this one ends
2:29
November 30th. It's the first Black
2:32
Friday for two new standalone streaming
2:34
apps. Here's what they're offering. Fox
2:36
1 cutting the price of its plan in half
2:38
for two months. There's also a bundle
2:41
discount for Fox One and Fox Nation and
2:44
ESPN Unlimited. That's also new. And
2:47
ESPN is continuing its launch promo that
2:51
bundles Disney Plus and Hulu with the
2:53
new app. $29.99 a month for the first 12
2:56
months. And you've got a little time to
2:58
think about this one. It doesn't expire
3:00
until the beginning of the year. On the
3:03
phone and internet beat, the big story
3:04
is a Black Friday deal war between three
3:07
providers. First is Mint Mobile,
3:10
reducing the price of its unlimited
3:12
plans by 50%. And that's whether you buy
3:15
3, 6, or 12 months in advance. Want
3:18
monthly billing instead? Take a look at
3:20
Visible by Verizon. It's got great deals
3:23
on its unlimited plans starting at $19 a
3:26
month for the next 26 months. This is
3:29
the plan that I primarily use. And if
3:32
you want Visible's best plan and are
3:34
willing to prepay for a year, this
3:36
annual plan deal is hard to beat. That
3:39
brings me to US Mobile, which has some
3:41
very competitive deals for both monthly
3:44
and annual plans. This is the best and
3:47
it's Black Friday only. Get the
3:49
unlimited premium annual plan, $167
3:55
This one is only for T-Mobile's network.
3:58
There are some Black Friday deals for
4:00
the 5G home internet services that I've
4:02
tested, the strongest offer from
4:04
T-Mobile, and I've got a tool on my
4:06
website that helps you compare all your
4:08
internet options. Let me know what Black
4:10
Friday deals you're getting this year,
4:12
and checksdealss.com.
4:15
That's where I'll have any late breaking
