Having revealed some pricing details last week, JB Hi-Fi has now officially launched its JB Hi-Fi Now streaming service. Anyone can sign up for a one-month trial, after which there’s a range of subscription options on offer.
A 3-month subscription costs $25 ($8.33 a month), 6 months is $50 (the same rate) and 12 months is $80 (which is the previously announced $6.67 per month price rate). Right now, it’s a computer-only affair, though mobile apps have been promised in the future.
