Cause there's no business like show-business!

Our DRM-Free approach to digital distribution has been the foundation of GOG.com since day one and we're convinced it is now firmly rooted in the gaming industry landscape. More and more users start to expect and demand the digital content they paid for to be free from any kind of restrictive mechanisms that limit access to their collections and get in the way of enjoyment. We think this is a good time to take the next step in our quest to make digital entertainment better for everyone. Today we set out to spread our DRM-Free ideas across the movie industry! That's right: GOG.com now offers DRM-Free movies.

Our goal is to offer you cinema classics as well as some all-time favorite TV series with no DRM whatsoever, for you to download and keep on your hard drive or stream online whenever you feel like it. We talked to most of the big players in the movie industry and we often got a similar answer: "We love your ideas, but … we do not want to be the first ones. We will gladly follow, but until somebody else does it first, we do not want to take the risk". DRM-Free distribution is not a concept their lawyers would accept without hesitation. We kind of felt that would be the case and that it's gonna take patience and time to do it, to do it, to do it right. That's quite a journey ahead of us, but every gamer knows very well that great adventures start with one small step. So why not start with something that feels very familiar? We offer you a number of gaming and internet culture documentaries - all of them DRM-Free, very reasonably priced, and presenting some fascinating insight into topics close to a gamer's heart. Now, what do we have in store for you?

- There's a whole new Movie Catalog for you to browse!
- All the movies we sell are priced at $5.99 (that's a launch promo price for a few of them), and we aim to have that as the main price point for most of our future releases
- Two of the movies - The Art of Playing and TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay Away From Keyboard are available for FREE, so that you can test our new movie distribution features
- Most of our movies are in Full HD 1080p quality, some in 720p. With those of you with limited bandwidth or download quota in mind, we also supply much lighter 576p versions.
- Apart from downloading your movies you have the option to watch them streaming online, right here on GOG.com
- GOG.com is famous for its bonus goodies - each movie will come with as many of them as we can muster
- You can expect subsequent movie releases each week

That's it. GOG.com Movies is a go, time to get some popcorn!
GOG, get the Trailer Park Boys TV show and movies! The rights to the franchise are now owned by the three lead actors (Mike Smith, John Paul Tremblay & Robb Wells), so there's no big studio to deal with. Think about it.

Trailer Park Boys (Mike Clattenburg, 2001) - TV Series
Trailer Park Boys: Dear Santa Claus, Go Fuck Yourself (Mike Clattenburg, 2004)
Trailer Park Boys: The Big Dirty (Mike Clattenburg, 2006)
Trailer Park Boys: Say Goodnight To The Bad Guys (Mike Clattenburg, 2008)
Trailer Park Boys: Countdown To Liquor Day (Mike Clattenburg, 2009)
Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It (Mike Clattenburg, 2014)
Trailer Park Boys: Live In Fuckin' Dublin (Mike Smith, John Paul Tremblay & Robb Wells, 2014)

It'd be nice if you could get the following as extras:

The Cart Boy (Mike Clattenburg, 1995)
Trailer Park Boys [Black & White Original Movie] (Mike Clattenburg, 1999)

catpower1980: Yeah, physical stuff rules!
Absolutely! And thank God I don't have to deal with the same shit with retail DVDs/Blu-rays that has befallen retail video games. Just imagine: You buy a DVD, put it into your player and it states: "This DVD requires a free Netflix/Hulu/whatevs account to play. Would you like to sign up now?"

catpower1980: BTW, handmade shelves or some Ikea-like?
Not just Ikea-like, but the real deal: IVAR 4 life. ;)

So gog has games and movies too? Awesome. I should have come here sooner.

Matruchus: Seriously is that for real ?

fronzelneekburm: Yup. Say what you will about analogue, but my I've had my VCR since 1998 and it still plays perfectly. Those things were built to last! Nowadays, you buy a new hard drive to store your stuff on and you'll be glad if the thing breaks before the 12-month warranty is up (because it sure as shit will become unreadable within weeks afterwards).
Those are videocassettes? Magnetic storage has it's disadvantages, too. I f you don't spool those cassettes regularily they'll magnetize through and become useless.

Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately, I don't really have the time to spool each of them (let alone spool them regularly). From personal experience, I can only assert that when I tried playing some tapes that hadn't been played for almost 30 years (one tape had footage of the 1988 South Korea Olympics on it - Soviet gymnasts best gymnasts!) they played perfectly well.

Although I already have a huge film library, I'm quite curious how Netflix will turn out in Continental Europe in two weeks (to be launched around 15 september). I guess I'll pay only one month to browse the catalogue and "test" some tv series before purchasing them (or not) in full retail versions.
Will be there any cartoons?
There are no way to buy any of Japanese cartoons, especially (Ghibli's cartoons are awesome).

Studio Ghibli is distributed by different companies in different countries, and Disney is one of them. So I wouldn't count with those.

And the same problem probably applies to many other well-known cartoons and animes.
Indeed. Don't let that stop you voting for them on the wishlist, but don't expect results in the foreseeable future.
Looks like we might get the AVGN movie. ^_^

You've seen it on Vimeo or something? How was it like really?
I'd be nice if GOG started releasing Polish films. Share with the world the best classic and modern movies your country has to offer. Having the home advantage should help with negotiations. Find obscure gems that haven't been subtitled in other languages and get them translated so you can have exclusives no one else does. Perhaps you could partner with film bloggers and YouTube reviewers by offering them free review codes in exchange for them getting the word out. Sure, try to get mainstream Hollywood flicks, but also let film buffs know that you're the place to go for rare motion pictures not available anywhere else. GOG could be the Criterion Collection of Poland. Think about it.
