The History Channel's just-wrapped miniseries The Bible isn't done changing the pop culture landscape quite yet. The program's ratings gave the cable channel a massive boost, holding firm against even the season finale of AMC's The Walking Dead.
Now, the miniseries' home video debut has become the biggest selling TV on DVD in the last 5 years and the biggest miniseries of all time on Blu-ray, Digital HD and DVD in its first week of release.
According to the Association for Christian Retail, The Bible is the fastest pre-selling faith based title in its 60-year history. It also ranked first across digital stores including iTunes, Amazon, VUDU, Xbox, PlayStation, CinemaNow, and GooglePlay.
"We feel incredibly blessed that we were able to bring this amazing love story to life on the screen. It is our hope that folks everywhere will continue to be touched by the message of the Bible and cherish these stories at home with their families for years to come. This is just the beginning," said co-executive producers, husband and wife team Roma Downey and Mark Burnett in a joint statement.

Why are people buying this when it is readily available online?
They are supporting something they like. Why do people buy porn when it is available for free online? ;-)
Newsflash...people don’t like sitting in front of their computers. A huge (somewhere between 40 and 50) portion of the nation isn’t as wired in as the other 50-60% like Ma and Pa in Kansas or North Dakota or Wyoming or West Virginia etc...I know tons of seniors who don’t own a computer and don’t even own a cell phone.

“Why are people buying this when it is readily available online?”
Probably just to stick the shiv in the un-religious or anti-religious.
I am sure the participants won’t be the same or as many. Bottom line always wins.
I usually save the wired or wireless device videos for travel.
Nice to know more people are watching that than The Kardashians.
Because they don’t have that channel. My mother has basic cable and can’t watch it so I’m buying it for her.
DHS is probably requesting names and address of the buyers from the sellers as we read this. Christians are the enemy of the state don’t ya know!
