MGM’s new online Stargate experience is almost here!
The “Stargate Command” digital platform opened today for early registration, with the studio announcing a launch date of September 20, 2017.
As announced at San Diego Comic-Con back in July, Stargate Command will be the exclusive home to the new short-form series Stargate Origins.
It’s also much more than a Web site: designed with all of your different devices in mind, the service will have episodes, behind-the-scenes videos, cast and crew interviews, and places for fans to interact. It will be available both online and through a mobile app.
The service looks to have some features available for free, with more content reserved for the “All-Access” paid subscription.
Stargate Command is designed to work with all your media devices.
To sweeten the deal a bit, Stargate Command is offering a limited edition Stargate Origins T-shirt to fans who sign up for All-Access before the September 20 launch.
We’ve asked MGM all our burning questions about Stargate Command! Come back later today for more details straight from the studio.
In the meantime, sign up now at StargateCommand.co.
Isn’t this typical…
MGM doesn’t want my money because I don’t live in the US :(
F– MGM they only want US money.
“…for a one-time payment of $20 USD… Access begins September 20 and is valid through May 15, 2018”
That’s not a one time payment. That’s a less than annual fee.
[quote]MGM doesn’t want my money because I don’t live in the US :([/quote] In all fairness to MGM, I’m sure they do want your money. MGM is a business, they like money. However operating a small service like this on a global scale is difficult, especially as their back catalog has already been licensed out to local distributors. So their contact may disallow them from competing with their local licensees, or the legal issues with setting up a new streaming service are too great for a relatively small service. Which doesn’t mean that they don’t want your money, only that… Read more »
Looking at the offer, I’m guessing that being US only for pre-registration might be because of the free t-shirt. Once you factor in the cost of the shirt and delivery worldwide, you substantially cut into any profit on a one-time charge.
I didn’t know that they planned an annual subscription fee, but I don’t think $20 is too much for an exclusive Stargate tshirt and unlimited streaming of all episodes from all 3 franchises. And I hope that MGM takes notice of all the fan interest in Stargate’s revival.
Just sad that Canadians are excluded from getting the t-shirt deal, considering the fact the 3 original shows were shot there.
While ViRGE’s comment above entirely covers why those of us outside the U.S. can’t get access, it’s still disappointing. I’d happily chip in $30 a year for access to all the Stargate series — even if I can get them elsewhere. I’m happy to show my support directly for these series.
