Netflix's Final Surprise: 10 Mystery DVDs to Mark the End of DVD Service
TL;DR
Netflix is shutting down its DVD-by-mail service this fall, but before doing so, the company will send up to 10 mystery discs to its longtime U.S. customers as a "finale" surprise. Eligible customers can opt in to receive the extra discs, which will be selected from a curated queue and shipped on September 29. The promotion is subject to limited quantity, and customers can return the DVDs until October 27. Netflix's DVD-by-mail business, which has been in operation for 25 years, played a significant role in changing the way people watched shows and movies at home before the shift to streaming.
