[[NBC]] acquired the US television broadcast rights for $30 million, which was considered a bargain.<ref name=VHS/>

A DVD version was released on August 31, 1999, in a widescreen-only (non-[[anamorphic format|anamorphic]]) single-disc edition with no special features other than a [[trailer (promotion)|theatrical trailer]]. Cameron stated at the time that he intended to release a special edition with extra features later. This release became the best-selling DVD of 1999 and early 2000, becoming the first DVD ever to sell one million copies.<ref name="www.usatoday.com">{{cite news|first=Thomas K|last=Arnold|title=Special editions go full steam ahead|work=[[USA Today]]|date=March 28, 2005|access-date=January 19, 2010|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2005-03-28-dvd-special-editions_x.htm|archive-date=January 25, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125102914/https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2005-03-28-dvd-special-editions_x.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> At the time, less than 5% of all U.S. homes had a DVD player. "When we released the original ''Titanic'' DVD, the industry was much smaller, and bonus features were not the standard they are now," said Meagan Burrows, Paramount's president of domestic home entertainment, which made the film's DVD performance even more impressive.<ref name="www.usatoday.com" />

''Titanic'' was re-released to DVD on October 25, 2005, when a three-disc ''Special Collector's Edition'' was made available in the United States and Canada. This edition contained a newly restored transfer of the film, a 6.1 [[DTS (company)|DTS-ES Discrete]] surround sound mix and various special features. In [[PAL]] regions, two-disc and four-disc variants were released, marketed as the ''Special Edition'' and ''Deluxe Collector's Edition'' respectively. They were released in the United Kingdom on November 7, 2005. A limited 5-disc set of the film, under the title ''Deluxe Limited Edition'', was also only released in the United Kingdom with only 10,000 copies manufactured. The fifth disc contains Cameron's documentary ''[[Ghosts of the Abyss]]'', which was distributed by [[Walt Disney Pictures]]. Unlike the individual release of ''Ghosts of the Abyss'', which contained two discs, only the first disc was included in the set.<ref name="www.dvdactive.com" /> In 2007, for the film's tenth anniversary, a ''10th Anniversary Edition'' was released on DVD, which consists of the first two discs from the three-disc 2005 set containing the movie and the special features on those discs.<ref>Rich, Jamie S.
