    A Final Curtain Call: Netflix's DVD.com Lets You Keep the Discs

      TL;DR: Netflix is shutting down its DVD subscription service, DVD.com, on September 29th. To mark the occasion, the company is allowing subscribers to keep any unreturned discs for free and is offering to send up to 10 additional random discs to those who opt-in via a special link by August 29th. Netflix will accept returns until October 27th for those who don't wish to keep the discs.

    Netflix is bidding adieu to its original DVD subscription service, DVD.com, in a memorable way. The company announced that subscribers can keep any unreturned discs at no extra cost after the service comes to a close on September 29th. Adding to this generosity, Netflix is offering to send up to 10 extra random discs to users who access a special link on DVD.com by August 29th.

    The End of an Era in Home Entertainment

    This end-of-service giveaway not only marks the closure of DVD.com but also brings a ceremonious end to the very business model that launched Netflix. With the last set of DVDs shipping out on September 29th, it's clear that the era of mail-order DVD services has come to a close, giving way to digital streaming as the primary medium for home entertainment.

    Hold Onto a Piece of Netflix History

    For those who might have a disc or two they'd rather not keep, Netflix will accept returns until October 27th. However, the offer presents a unique opportunity for subscribers to own a part of Netflix history, capturing a snapshot of how the entertainment industry has evolved over the years.

    I wasn't thinking about the Netflix History more than wondering what they would be doing with all those DVDs. I'm glad they are letting people keep them & giving them away instead of just scrapping.

    Ya, seems to be a win for everyone involved.  Hopefully that means less will end up in the trash.  Granted, I do wish they would have been willing to sell the DVD side instead.
