Yes. And this is a site dedicated to physical releases and collections of high definition content. Why is this even a question.

I'll tell you what's crazy. Netflix not taking advantage of additional revenue models with their exclusive content. That's what they're doing here and it's great to see I must say.

Also, not everyone subscribes to Netflix or are willing to subscribe for a limited time just to stream Netflix exclusive content. There are also those with Internet access not suitable for streaming. My only form of Internet access at home for many years for example was Verizon 4G. It was plenty fast enough, but the larger data packages were expensive and the overage fees were even more expensive, like making two car payments or more that month expensive. That meant no downloading large files or streaming even a single TV episode.

And try this on for size. There are Netflix customers that don't even subscribe to their streaming service. Their disc rental service continues to do very well. I've been renting physical media from Netflix since day one and have yet to ever suspend or cancel my subscription. I can't say the same for their streaming service. I've also never streamed something from Netflix if they also had the disc available to rent. It's a far better experience and worth the time it takes for the disc to get to my mailbox.

Oh my Lord, f*ck my sideways!

Totes excited about this being released. In VHS packaging no less.

Unfortunately, I'm low on cash so I might not be able to purchase this release. Unless they're still available come Christmas.

Hope for a press release soon. Would be cool if it had some extras. Hopefully HD audio. Packaging looks cool and I am glad to see Netflix releasing some content on physical media. Hopefully this bodes well for Blu-ray releases for Scorsese's new film and some of their other original films and series.

Day one purchase for me!

[jlk5844]

Crazy that this came out of nowhere but man am I glad it's getting a Blu-ray! Wonderful show. So thankful that Netflix isn't holding this hostage to their streaming service.

[Mayormccheese85]

Yes! I wonder if it'll fit on my shelf

Someone needs to start a group buy for our international friends.

[mredman]

I am baffled such a High profile release only gets a target release. I want this so bad and so does a hell of s lot of others in overseas countries. Is there a site were we can get it. Or is there plans for an overseas release now as well with this awesome news

[mredman]

This must mean a real retail release is on the way right ?

It actually looks a lot better on bluray. The colors are more accurate. Netflix shows can be too dark (same with HBO) but the blurays are brighter so its easier to make things out.

Also Netflix has shit compressed sound that's not even real 5.1 while blurays have true hd sound so purchasing blus makes sense.

[Allgood]

LOL $24 for Blu Ray smash hit Netflix show via VHS collector's box? Is Netflix TRYING to get my money because they are very much succeeding.

[logboy]

interested, but i'm in the UK.

don't like subscription TV services, so plenty passing me by that i won't pay so highly to see.
