Like most streaming services, the price of a Disney Plus is about to go up in the not-so-distant future. Fortunately for those dreading the $2 price hike — which is due to take effect on October 17th — both new and returning subscribers can sign up for three months of Disney’s ad-supported Basic plan for $1.99 a month through September 27th, saving you $6 a month or $18 over the entire promo period.
You can sign up for three months of Disney Plus for just $6 right now
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S9 and Hori’s Zelda-inspired Split Pad Pro controller are also available at a steep discount.

If you can do without the ability to download content for offline viewing, Disney’s ad-supported plan is virtually identical to the ad-free plan. Both provide access to the same Disney Plus shows and films — including the full Star Wars and Marvel slate — along with National Geographic and Pixar content. That means you’ll be able to stream the new Star Wars: Skeleton Crew series when it lands on December 3rd as well as recent arrivals like X-Men ‘97, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour film, Ron Howard’s recent Jim Henson documentary, and The Acolyte (RIP). Overall, the Disney Plus catalog is less robust than that of Hulu, Netflix, and some other rival services, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a finer selection of classic kid-friendly content and superhero stories.

Disney Plus provides access to a wealth of shows and movies, including upcoming documentaries from James Cameron and Taylor Swift, as well as Deadpool & Wolverine, the second season of Andor, and newer, kid-friendly favorites like Lilo & Stitch.
To make the most of the deal, we’d advise you to mark your calendar. Once the three-month promotional period ends, Disney Plus will automatically begin charging you the regular monthly rate, which, by then, will run you $9.99.

- Logitech’s MX Master 3S for Mac, one of the quietest productivity mice you can buy right now, is on sale at Amazon starting at $82.58 (about $17 off), an all-time low. The “Mac” version is the same as the standard model we reviewed in 2022. It packs the same satisfying scroll wheels, multidevice Bluetooth pairing, and a high-res 8,000 DPI sensor, only it lacks a USB-A “Bolt” dongle and comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable instead of a USB-C to USB-A cable.
- Samsung’s latest Discover event runs through Sunday, September 15th, allowing you to save on a variety of earbuds, phones, and tablets. Right now, for instance, you can pick up a Galaxy Tab S9 from Amazon and Samsung starting at around $650 ($150 off), which is nearly the lowest price we’ve seen. We’re not huge fans of the 16:10 aspect ratio, but it’s still a great 11-inch Android tablet with a brilliant OLED display, water resistance, and enough processing power for all your typical tablet needs. Read our review.
- If the imminent release of Echoes of Wisdom has you clamoring for some new Nintendo gear, Hori’s Zelda-themed Split Pad Pro has fallen to $49.22 (about $11 off) at Amazon. The handheld gamepad offers big, easy-to-reach buttons and generously sized triggers and analog sticks, all of which make it a more comfortable alternative to Nintendo’s cramped Joy-Con controllers. Just don’t expect support for HD rumble, NFC, or some of the features found on Nintendo’s first-party controllers. That would be too convenient, after all.
