Receive a random number of extra red envelopes if you sign up before August 29.
The Big Picture An era is nearing its end at Netflix. Earlier this year, it was announced that the company would shutter its DVD rental service at DVD.com which carried it to where it is today. For 25 years, even as streaming became Netflix's main priority, ordering DVDs was still a reality for all who preferred physical media over the main platform.
"After 25 years of movies in the mail, we're approaching the end of our final season," the email reads. "We really appreciate that you're sharing movie nights with us until the last day. Let's have some fun for our finale!" The "fun" is in seeing just how many discs arrive. Rather than receiving a set amount of extra DVDs, there's no indication of how many will arrive until they show up in their respective red envelopes.
It's a funny way to bid farewell to the business that put Netflix on the map for all who still utilize it or who think it's worth returning to. Under normal accounts, the DVD service would offer customers, at most, three discs at a time for as long as they want if they paid for the $19.99 monthly subscription. Each disc would have to be returned before another from the top of the queue could be delivered.
Netflix Has Undergone a Fair Few Changes Since Its Launch Netflix has never stopped evolving, for better or worse, since vanquishing Blockbuster and becoming the premiere home video service. From its humble beginnings, the streamer has grown to become an entertainment giant expanding its tentacles out with massive films and television series like Extraction and Stranger Things as well as dipping into international markets.
Keep an eye out for the offer for more discs from DVD.com before the service rides off into the sunset on September 29.
