Chuck, for example. It’s available in the US afaik but where I live, it’s available only in streaming on prime video. The blu rays aren’t available at all either
So it's a region locking thing.
That sucks for everyone. I remember back in the day when vpns got new regions, and there was so much more available.
But physical media needs to be physically produced. It's available in DVD and I think it came before Blu-ray even so you're kind of asking a lot here
If it’s on physical disc in one region but not where you live, it might be possible to purchase that disc and ship it to your home. While it might be region-blocked on the disc, there are ways to bypass that with certain disc players or converting them on your computer. The legality of bypassing region-blocking may vary depending on your jurisdiction, but from a technical standpoint it’s certainly possible. It’s probably less legal liability than going straight to piracy (especially compared to the liability from torrenting where they try to claim someone’s engaged in illegal distribution).
Does this work where you live? https://www.justwatch.com/us/search?q=Chuck
Yeah but there is streaming only as I said
It shows me options to purchase. Season 1 is $20 from Amazon.
I’m not from the US
