In case you haven't already heard, it's ! That means there are savings galore to be found on , , , and more. However, there is a distinct lack of streaming deals here in the UK; unlike the US where you can currently get a . is offering nothing, has a disappointing lack of deals, and Apple TV+ is avoiding the sales event – in fact, it's practically only and Sky which are offering discounts.
However, there is one deal that I'm personally parting with my hard-earned cash for; partly due because everyone in Towers is chatting about the top-notch shows (which I don't want spoilers for) and also because it's a pretty solid deal – especially compared to the weak offerings from other services. Now (formerly Now TV) has a selection of sixth-month saver options, including the Entertainment and Cinema passes for £6.99 per month (down from £9.
99 per month) or a combination bundle with both passes included for £13.99 per month (instead of £19.98 per month).
My money is going on the Entertainment pass, on account of the plentiful TV shows I'd like to watch and the good price (I should be able to binge all of the shows on my watchlist in six months). However, there is a major condition that I'm not willing to compromise on that drives the price up, but I still think it's a worthwhile deal. This Now streaming deal has absolutely enticed me, but I won't be subscribing without adding this to my package.
As standard, Now streams in 720p with stereo sound; which doesn't really cut it for me. Thankfully, Now has introduced a new option to upgrade the picture and sound quality. The Ultra Boost option upgrades picture quality to 4K with and support for audio; that's more like it.
However, it does incur an additional £9 per month cost, bringing the full monthly cost to £15.99. That's a more expensive outlay than initially anticipated, but compared to Netflix's £18.
99/month 4K HDR tier, I'm more inclined to opt for Now's offering. With the likes of , and all piquing my interest alongside and an unfinished second season of haunting my watchlist for far too long, I'm convinced that I'll get my money's worth with this Black Friday streaming deal. And with this deal covering me for six months, I'll also be ready and waiting for season 2 to hit the service early next year.
