Outsourced continues to play theatrically in select markets across the country and around the world. DVD’s, CD’s and tee shirts on its website.
In September Porchlight Entertainment and Warner Home Video has released the DVD retail version and downloads through Amazon, Target, Hollywood Video and other outlets. Simultaneously, Netflix began distribution of rental DVD’s and downloads to subscribers.
