The AI GPU Black Market is now available on 3840×2160 Blu-Ray (with optional USB drive) as a special edition movie set. The discs are burned in-house by our team with a semi-automated disc duplicator that we bought, printed with a thermal printer direct-to-disc at GN HQ, and the disc cases were 3D modeled by our team and are 3D printed on-site in our print farm. The optional 128GB USB Type-A drives are written to with a USB drive duplicator on-site at GN HQ as well, so this is almost entirely done in-house and made by GN, with the exception of the literal disc factory itself and of the special AI GPU Black Market booklet (which is printed by a supplier in the US).

The AI GPU Black Market Special Edition case is all red-and-black and color-matched. The cases are roughly “PS2” game case sized, although slightly larger. We are including a full-color, high-quality printed paper mini-magazine (booklet) with all versions of the AI GPU Black Market movie, which is our first attempt to make a printed version of our media. We’re very excited about the paper write-up.

This documentary saw us spending 3 weeks in Asia to learn about the GPU smuggling pipeline in the face of the United States’ export control regulations. We traveled across cities throughout Asia, including Shenzhen, HuiZhou, Hong Kong, ZhengZhou, Taipei, Kaohsiung, and even worked with one GPU smuggler in Arizona for this documentary. The story was popular enough to get “Bloomberged” — Copyright stricken — by Bloomberg, LP, our biggest fans. We even visited them in-person to thank them for their admiration. You can also find that on our bonus disc.

This is meant to be a unique way to support us while also getting high-quality media in return, without YouTube’s compression. You can view the Black Market GPU movie content for free on YouTube.

COMPATIBILITY & LIMITATIONS

Blu-Ray has a number of compatibility challenges. We cannot test for all players, so thus far, we are only listing what we have verified works:

• Sony PlayStation 5 support

• Xbox Series X support

• Xbox One X support

• PC / Windows support (requires H.265 playback support)

• Sony UBP-X800 support

• Discs would not play on old LG (lol) DP547 Blu-Ray player due to lack of 4K support

• Players without 4K support and/or without 50 GB disc support will likely not play the discs. The above is the only set of devices we can currently guarantee compatibility for.

The PS4 Pro and older do not support our 4K 50 GB discs.
