Specifically Netflix specific content.
I've not ever really seen any of original Netflix content ever be made available by DVD/Blue-Ray. Can anyone explain why this is the case? Would seem like a nice secondary profit for shows which have fallen out of play.
Specifically looking for Queens Gambit.

(16,063 posts)I probably badly phrased the question. For content which Netflix owns - or at least paid a production company to create - I would assume there is some process to eventually create a DVD or Blu-Ray once it achieved some lifetime of use. Has anyone really seen that happen? Most of what I have seen up have been Pirated copies which escaped Amazon's review - ex: Agents of SHIELD seasons 3 and 4.

And so, that's what I have read. Netflix wants to keep its catalog to itself (at least for now).

The choices are:
* Hope it is still streaming
* Hope it has a pirate DVD
Does not seem so smart on Netflix's part...

Remember how we used to be able to rate the shows? They took that away presumably because their own content was getting bad reviews.
On the bright side, their Lost in Space remake was quite good.

(26,403 posts)not to the Netflix show - or at least do not appear to be legitimate copies. If I wanted a copy - I do not where I can go find an appropriate "Arrrchive"

(26,403 posts)Really want to get an official copy - wondering if anyone knows the process to how that happens? When does Netflix release their older content to DVD?
