“Generous offer?” Holy fucking spin zone. Every disc they let a customer keep is just a disc they don’t have to worry about disposing off. Just happens to be a modest bonus for their subscribers.
There is lots of content that isn’t licensed for streaming, and is out-of-print on DVD. Its entirely possible that Netflix DVD rental may be the ONLY place to get certain titles. Depending on what you had out, this may be quite a boon for those that have rare titles in hand.
Yep it sucks because I think it’s Kevin Smith’s best work but I do respect him for refusing to buy the rights back or arrange for a deal for streaming rights because it would be giving Bob and Harvey Weinstein money.
For anyone unaware, the film had a complicated release because there was a lot of controversy surrounding Dogma, particularly from the Catholic League, who were pissy about being made fun of. So Disney, who owned Miramax at the time, allowed Bob and Harvey Weinstein to buy the movie themselves. So they personally own Dogma.
Well, DVDs are cheaper. Especially used DVDs. Dogma on DVD in state “Very Good” goes for around £2-3 on amazon.co.uk.
Honorable mention: You can stream it on himovies.sx for free. You can also use Inspector’s network tab on Firefox to get the .m3u8 stream and pass it to youtube-dl. For true experience, burn it to DVD.
Edit: You can also get it on VHS tape for £3 apparently.
I checked the US Amazon, Dogma DVD is mostly Region 2 imports… and used Region 1 discs are like $15. Oh, and amazon.co.uk has Region 1 Imported discs for £3 as well. But shipping cost will make the price about the same I guess.

Something like the Blu Ray of Kevin Smith’s 1999 movie “Dogma” could cost you $150 to buy
…but why?
Weinstein.

Because its out of print. There are no new copies to replace ones sold. So the remaining copies in inventory rise in value.
OK but a disc burner is like $50

Those are PAL and Region 2 DVDs. So they won’t work in regular US DVD players. Welcome to the wonderful world of regional distribution contracts.

Or how about a region-free South Korea version?

once again companies make consumers responsible for the trash the companies made
I wouldn’t call it trash since the consumer actually wanted that DVD, maybe they didn’t plan to have it forever but who would complain about that?
And anyone who doesn’t want whatever they have out can still return it.
You cheeky monkey
