After a quarter-century of operation, Netflix is ending its DVD-by-mail service this September. If you're still a DVD subscriber, or if you resubscribe now for some reason, you'll have a chance at getting 10 movies sent to you later this month.

An email sent to subscribers said Netflix is trying to "have some fun" with the send-off, and that includes gifting members with as many as 10 DVDs. These will be films from subscribers' DVD queue, and they will ship on September 29, which is the last day Netflix will distribute DVDs.

"You won't know if any extra envelopes are headed your way until they arrive in your mailbox!" Netflix said (via Collider), adding that this promotion is only available "while supplies last" and in a "limited quantity."
