Hayame_Zero 04/18/23 3:54:08 PM #1:	https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-dvd-the-final-season After an incredible 25 year run, weve decided to wind down DVD.com later this year. Our goal has always been to provide the best service for our members but as the business continues to shrink thats going to become increasingly difficult. So we want to go out on a high, and will be shipping our final discs on September 29, 2023. Those iconic red envelopes changed the way people watched shows and movies at home and they paved the way for the shift to streaming. From the beginning, our members loved the choice and control that direct-to-consumer entertainment offered: the wide variety of the titles and the ability to binge watch entire series. DVDs also led to our first foray into original programming with Red Envelope Entertainment titles including Sherrybaby and Zach Galifianakis Live at the Purple Onion. We feel so privileged to have been able to share movie nights with our DVD members for so long, so proud of what our employees achieved and excited to continue pleasing entertainment fans for many more decades to come. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/4/0/AABfkMAAEZQo.jpg To everyone who ever added a DVD to their queue or waited by the mailbox for a red envelope to arrive: thank you. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/3/9/AABfkMAAEZQn.jpg --- ...I think I'm done here... <cite>Hayame_Zero posted [p:972924696] in Netflix DV...

spanky1 04/18/23 3:59:44 PM #8:	Yep, when I first moved out on my owned I signed up for the DVD service. It was great watching tons of movies I always wanted to watch.
