The Guild Season 3 comes to DVD & iTunes
The Guild is pleased to announce the official release dates of the Season 3 DVD and ALL our episodes to iTunes! And soon you’ll be able to stream seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix! Whew, that’s a lot of stuff! Keep reading for details!
First, on Monday, January 25th, The Guild seasons 1 through 3 will be available for purchase on iTunes for the first time! Because of the short length of our episodes, on iTunes they will sell as bundles of 2-3 episodes (each approximately 10 minutes in length) so it’s a bit confusing at first glance, but all the episodes are there, we promise! (See the end of this post for the complete iTunes episodes listing, and here’s the link to iTunes).
Season 1 will be available in standard definition for $0.99 per iTunes episode bundle or $2.97 for the full season of 10 episodes. The first episode bundle from Season 1 (episodes 1-3) will be available for FREE download.
Seasons 2 and 3 will be available in both standard and high definition, priced at $0.99 per episode bundle (SD) or $1.99 per episode bundle (HD). Full “Season passes” are $5.99 (SD) or $9.99 (HD). Note: The iTunes downloads are episodes only. Downloads are US and Canada only, with a UK release coming soon.
As an exclusive bonus, the iTunes Season 3 Season Pass will include the free bonus extra: “Tips on Making a Web Series” with producer Kim Evey, director Sean Becker and creator Felicia Day. The three answer questions, submitted by fans through Twitter and our website, about how to make a web series. Er, the title explains it all 
Then, on Tuesday, February 15th, Season 3 arrives on DVD exclusively on Amazon.com with a retail price of $14.95!
Bonus features on the DVD include “Do You Want to Date My Avatar” Music Video, The Making of “Do You Want to Date My Avatar,” the Halloween episode, Guild Applicant Rejects, How to Build Vork’s Sword, Audio Commentary with the Cast, Audio Commentary with the Creator, Director and Producer, Axis of Anarchy Interviews, Gag Reels, PDF of Script, Play All Feature and English Subtitles. The Amazon.com DVD release comes on two DVD-R discs by Amazon’s Create Space, and is NTSC format, region-free.
Later in the spring, Season 3 will be released to YouTube and to retail stores via a DVD from New Video (with identical content and cover art but on a single disc).
Lastly, on February 1 you will be able to watch all of Season 1 or Season 2 on Netflix. All episodes have been edited together with only beginning and ending credits, so you can watch them like continuous movie, like the “Play All” DVD feature.
Whew, that’s all for now. We know you’re impatient for Season 4, we are working as quickly as we can on it, promise! More info to come as soon as we have it.
Thanks so much for your support!

Awesome news!
Can’t wait for the dvd!
And here’s hoping “later on spring” isn’t much later, haha, cause there are people patiently waiting to watch it with subtitles!
Yes, the Germans are also eager to see them subtitled.
) Can’t wait to help out translating them. Translating season 2 is a hell of fun. 
How cool would it be to see Season 4 already delivered with our translated subtitles as it comes to DVD.
AIIAIAIAIAIIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAI!
If only I had not gone for the toast… I would have been first!
Noiiiiiice dani. My ninja.
Hm. I’m a little confused about the two releases. Why is the Amazon release two discs if all the content can fit on one disc? Having it all on one disc would be more convenient, wouldn’t it?
Amazon’s DVD production arm, Create Space, only produces DVD’s on DVD-R’s which are single layer, or “DVD5.” The Season 3 content takes up more space than will fit on one of these discs.
The retail DVD is manufactured using the dual layer DVD9’s, but take more time to make. So, I *believe* (but don’t know for sure) that the decision was made to do these 2 releases so that the Season would be available sooner. But as I mentioned in the podcast, it’s not a ploy to get ppl to buy them twice – the only difference is the 2disc/1disc… cover art, content, etc. are the same for both.

Aha, that makes sense, thanks!
I may buy them twice anyway and give the inefficient double-disc version to a friend.
Exciting! Can’t wait. Although I will be waiting for the dvds, since I have to have the commentaries! I assume the amazon dvds will not have cover art like the retail store dvds will? Also anxious for season 4, but I know the quality will make it worth the wait.
The store DVD’s will have the same cover art as the Amazon discs… only difference will be that the Amazon release comes on 2 discs, the retail on 1.
It’s finally on iTunes!!! hax0rz!!
Does this mean that it won’t be released on Amazon Video on Demand, like the first two seasons were, or is that just coming later?
Yay! I can’t wait to get the DVD!
Your series is awesome!
Can’t wait for the fourth season ^^
Awesome!!!
I can’t wait to see the commentary and all the extras. This little web series that could has really prevailed and become something much greater than anyone could have imagined. Definitely my favorite show, on the web or tv. Thank you everyone who has contributed to the creation of The Guild. I am very grateful for all of the emotions I have felt and the awesomeness I have been a witness to 
This is amazing news. Excitement for the commentary. [:
I’ve tried to get the eps off of iTunes but all the seasons keep saying “The item you tried to buy is no longer available.”
/sadpanda
This would have been so much better as a tv show like they were going to do it as, but it is still very very funny and entertainning as a mini series. But if you think about it not many older people really watch little shows like this on the computer and would have been able to see it on there TV.
aw….I don’t see free season pass for season 1. only the 1st episode is free, what gives?
Oh well, I can watch it on the internet whenever I want through youtube. 
I just pre-ordered the DVD. I can’t wait to get it in the mail!
Just a comment that February 15th is a Monday, so I assume that the release date is actually Tuesday, February 16th!!!
When will The Guild be on iTunes UK ?
I really would liek to buy the DVD or just the full season 1 -3 from iTunes, but it is only US @ the mo…
Nice lightsaber duel with Jace, Felicia. You’d make a great Mara Jade! Is season 4 of The Guild in production yet?
After watching the Guild and other shows like Legend of Neil… being a geek is the Latest cool.
Gone at the days that only the Jocks have fun.
Geeks rock!!!.
The DVD is fine but where is season 4. I need my Crack.
Dear “Guild”
If you don’t make an announcement in this website about a new season within the next couple of weeks, I swear “I’ll cut myself where I can’t feel anything, bleed that all over the concrete and roast to death in this chair”!
With love and appreciation,
Your loyal fan
Troublemaker
I want to give you money
What medium is the most efficient way for me to do that?
WTB new season!
PST
Same here
Hello “The Guild” team. First thanks for your serial. That gives me lots of smile and making my life little hilarity.
GOOD LUCK GUYS !
Did the guild died ?
I have been enjoying all episodes really much. I am a guildleader myself on the Bronzebeard server (wow-europe Server) and its great to see that the topics in The Guild feel kind of realistic in term of the fights and relations you have with your guildies. Just amazing. The problems you can get if you don’t have the right people to run a guild….i am sure other wow-players that watch the guild have the same (i also liked the confrontation between the 2 guilds, although the chance you will have that in real life are probably pretty small). But nevertheless, a real life collission between 2 online guilds couldn’t be visualized better then you guys did. I hope you guys can manage to make it to the big screen. Yes, the big screen! It would be amazing to have a 1 1/2 hour movie (comedie) with a real long storyline (Beavis and Butthead and the Simpsons started as low budget episodes but ended up with complete series and long movies, so never say never right?).
Can’t wait for season IV. Keep up the good work!
