  After 71 years, the longstanding mail-order media club Columbia House is shutting down on Sept. 15. Columbia House got its start in 1955 as the Columbia Record Club, a direct-mail marketing program by CBS/Columbia Records. New members were promised a free record for joining, and customers could bypass a trip to the record store by ordering albums to be shipped to them at home. It was such a wildly popular venture that by 1963, it represented 10% of the music retail market. As the club spawned imitators, Columbia set itself apart by licensing titles from other labels, giving members a larger catalog to choose from. In the early 1970s, the name of the club was changed to Columbia House. With its introductory offer of “8 CDs for a penny,” the service remained a powerhouse throughout the late 20th century, peaking at 16 million members in 1996, the same year the Columbia House website went live. In 1991, Sony and Time Warner formed a 50/50 joint venture combining Columbia House with Time Life's home video and music clubs. As the market share for mail-order music clubs declined due to the rise of online and big-box retailers, Sony and AOL Time Warner sold 85% of Columbia House to the Blackstone Group. There were widespread reports of a planned merger with CDNow or Blockbuster Video, but neither came to pass. In 2005, Columbia House was sold to its competitor BMG, and then to JMCK Corp. It rebranded as Direct Brands, shutting down music sales and continuing as a DVD and Blu-ray Disc club. Plans to launch a vinyl record club with Columbia House branding did not materialize.

  @LarryBundyJr Thank god for the fan-made Insignia Live online service as most of those update patches and DLC are now available to download and install again, though EA used their own servers for their own games and thus the online services for them can’t be revived by fans, at least not yet anyway. Also, there was DLC on Dreamcast and even roster updates for some of the Sega Sports titles, even though keeping the DLC on the VMUs while having room for game saves was very difficult due to the paltry 200 block (about 128 KB) storage limitations. Not only that, but there were also online services for the Intellivision and the Atari 2600, in the form of PlayCable and GameLine, respectively, with the latter of the two eventually restructuring itself into what is now AOL today.
