We all have that one streaming service we can’t live without—be it Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Disney+ for video, or Spotify, Audible, or Apple Music for tunes. Convenience comes at a cost, though: your cherished shows or albums might vanish overnight. That feeling of security? It’s hard to beat having your very own media server, and Plex is stepping in to make that a reality. Just in time for Black Friday, Plex is offering a sweet deal: a lifetime membership to Plex Pass for just $89.99, available now until December 3.
Now, if you haven’t dived into Plex yet, here’s why you might want to consider it. Think of Plex as your personalized TV streaming channel, mixing in live broadcasts with your own stash of music and movies. Over the years, Plex has really upped its game. When I first tried it, Plex Pass offered some neat perks, but it has since expanded its suite of features. The cherry on top? Once you’re a lifetime member, any cool new features they roll out in the future are yours to explore.
At its heart, Plex revolves around the Plex Media Server. This is where you gather your collection of movies and music to beam out to all your gadgets. What I really love, but currently can’t enjoy due to circumstances beyond Plex’s control, is the ability to add live TV into the mix and store shows with a DVR setup.
Running Plex Media Server is pretty flexible. You can set it up on an old PC, a NAS, or even a Raspberry Pi, thanks to its Linux support. The only thing you need is a dedicated device to keep your server running smoothly day and night. This setup lets you create your own streaming service, unique to you.
Why give Plex a shot? Because it’s all about seizing control of your own media collection. Plex also sprinkles in some streaming content of its own, but the true magic is in snubbing major streaming platforms when you’re in the mood for a movie night.
Black Friday is here, and so are the deals!🔥 Grab some massive savings on all things tech, games, and more. From Best Buy’s tempting offers to Walmart’s sneaky steals, Target’s rolling bargains on a vast array of products, top-of-the-line laptops and gaming gear at Dell, and HP’s big cuts on everything you could need—it’s all happening now. Don’t forget Lenovos door-busting deals on PCs, Newegg’s gaming-accessory savings, Razer’s free shipping offer, Samsung’s seasonal discounts, and, of course, Amazon’s rotating sales extravaganza.
Plex’s special offer runs until December 3, so there’s time to think it over. Test out Plex’s basic features without spending a dime by visiting their site. It’s wise to familiarize yourself with the service to see if it suits your needs.
Wherever you want your media fix, Plex is ready, offering apps for almost every conceivable platform—whether that’s your TV, game console, smartphone, tablet, PC, Mac, or any browser. With Plex, your media is always ready for you, on your terms, whenever you want it.
