Heat was released on VHS in June 1996. Due to its running time, the film had to be released on two cassettes.
A "bare bones" edition of Heat was released on DVD in 1999, which didn't include any extra features. A two-disc special edition DVD was released in 2005, featuring an audio commentary by Michael Mann, deleted scenes, and numerous documentaries detailing the film's production.
The Blu-ray Disc was released on November 10, 2009, featuring a high definition film transfer, supervised by Mann. As well as approving the look of the transfer, Mann also recut two scenes slightly differently, referring to them as "new content changes". The special edition DVD is the original theatrical cut.

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or media:
“Unpleasantness outside is easy to bear, but nagging at home is hard on the ear.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
