Home Release
In the United States, Volume 1 was released on DVD and VHS on April 13, 2004, the week before Volume 2 was released in theaters.
In a December 2005 interview, Tarantino addressed the lack of a special edition DVD for Kill Bill by stating "I've been holding off because I've been working on it for so long that I just wanted a year off from Kill Bill and then I'll do the big supplementary DVD package."
The United States does not have a DVD boxed set of Kill Bill, though box sets of the two separate volumes are available in other countries, such as France, Japan and the United Kingdom. Upon the DVD release of Volume 2 in the US, however, Best Buy did offer an exclusive box set slipcase to house the two individual releases together.
Volume 1, along with Volume 2, was released in High Definition on Blu-ray on September 9, 2008 in the United States.

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or release:
“Don’t stand by the water and long for fish; go home and weave a net.”
—Chinese proverb.
“As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
