This Samsung Galaxy S8 promotion is perfect for binge watchers

Considering you're just going to buy some choice accessories right after buying a new phone anyway, it's not uncommon for companies to throw in a bundle of their own to make their new handset more appealing.

Samsung is no exception, offering an "entertainment kit" deal to entice folks to drop money on a brand-new Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus.

The kit is specialized for fans of watching video on their phones, potentially saving them some cash by containing goodies they were likely going to buy anyway.

Specifically, the promotion includes 6 free months of Netflix, a 64GB EVO+ microSD card, and a special Clear View Standing Cover — which not only features a see-through cover that lets you check messages even while closed, but also doubles as a kickstand for watching videos.

Considering that a similar case retails for $59.99 on Samsung's site, half a year's Netflix costs about the same price, and Samsung claims the 64GB EVO+ microSD card is valued at $49, this promotion could save someone over $170 — certainly nothing to sniff at when you're already dropping $720+ on a new Samsung Galaxy S8.

Calling it an entertainment kit is also fitting, as 64GB of storage can hold a nice chunk of TV and movies for taking on the go, thanks to Netflix's recently added offline mode — not to mention the S8's earbuds that come with every phone are actually quite a spiffy little pack-in.

Should you be interested in taking up on Samsung's offer, you'll have to buy your new Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus via the Shop Samsung app, which is available through the Google Play Store. You'll have to act fast too, as supplies are said to be limited and purchase and registration needs to be completed before May 16 to qualify.
