Netflix is sending its DVD subscribers 10 extra discs for the service’s last hurrah
Do you have movies in your queue that can’t be seen on streaming services?

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Netflix has one last surprise in store for those who subscribe to its DVD by mail rental business.
It’s telling members that it will send up to 10 extra discs before it ends the 25-year-old subscription service for good, as reported earlier by Collider.
In an email posted on Reddit, Netflix tells customers it’s sending out the extra discs on September 29th — the service’s final shipment date.
Users will just have to click the link included in the email by August 29th to opt in.
“After 25 years of movies in the mail, we’re approaching the end of our final season,” Netflix writes.
Netflix will choose the discs based on the movies listed in a user’s film queue, adding, “You won’t know if any extra envelopes are headed your way until they arrive in your mailbox.” It doesn’t look like subscribers will be able to keep the extra DVDs, though, as Netflix still expects them — along with any other discs — to be returned by October 27th, 2023.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Wait they still do dvds? I thought they split it off, then that failed, then they just abandoned it.
