These days, most of us are signed up for at least one streaming service. Whether you’re binging shows on Netflix, catching up on movies with Amazon Prime, or enjoying family favorites on Disney+, streaming platforms have become a staple. On the audio side, there’s Spotify for your music needs or Audible for audiobooks. They’re incredibly handy but come with one downside: the content can disappear whenever the service decides. That’s where setting up your own media server can really make a difference, and that’s where Plex shines. In the spirit of Black Friday, Plex is offering a special deal. Until December 3, you can snag a lifetime subscription to Plex Pass for only $89.99.
Let me break down what Plex is and why it might just be the media solution you’ve been looking for. Imagine creating a personal streaming service, a space where your beloved shows and movies coexist with live TV channels. That’s Plex for you.
I’ve watched Plex evolve from when I first started using it, and one thing remains consistent: Plex Pass is your ticket to unlocking the full potential of the platform. The fantastic part? When you invest in a lifetime membership, you won’t miss out on any of the exciting new features they roll out in the future.
The heart of Plex is the Plex Media Server. This is where you’ll organize all your personal video and audio content, ready to stream anytime on any device. A standout feature—and one that I particularly appreciate—is the ability to integrate over-the-air live TV and use Plex as a DVR. Sadly, I can’t personally take advantage of this right now due to unrelated issues, but it’s seriously cool.
What’s great about Plex is its versatility. It runs on various devices, be it your trusty old PC, a NAS, or even a Raspberry Pi, since it supports Linux as well. As long as you have a device to host the server (ideally running 24/7), you can set up your own streaming powerhouse with Plex.
That’s why Plex is worth trying out. Besides letting you control your media, it offers a selection of its own streaming content. Don’t let the big streaming giants control what movies you can watch whenever the urge strikes!
As we dive into Black Friday, don’t miss out on the hottest deals this season. From massive savings at Best Buy on games and gadgets to early Walmart deals on almost everything, this is your chance to snag some incredible bargains. Target offers live deals across a plethora of products, while Dell and HP promise tempting discounts on laptops and accessories. Lenovo, Newegg, Razer, and Samsung each have their own impressive offers too. And let’s not forget Amazon, where deals come and go constantly on all sorts of items.
You have until December 3 to snag the Plex deal. If you’re curious but still unsure, you can explore Plex’s basic features for free by visiting their website. It’s a great way to see if it’s a good fit for you.
Plex has made sure you’re covered with apps for major TV platforms, gaming consoles, mobile phones, tablets, PCs, Macs, and even web browsers. Simply put, wherever you want to watch or listen, Plex ensures your media is accessible in your way, at your time.
