The first ever LaserDisc title marketed in North America was the MCA DiscoVision release of Jaws in 1978.[244] A second LaserDisc was released in 1992,[245] before a third and final version came out under MCA/Universal Home Video's Signature Collection imprint in 1995. This release was an elaborate box-set that included deleted scenes and outtakes, a new two-hour documentary on the making of the film directed and produced by Laurent Bouzereau, a copy of the novel Jaws, and a CD of the soundtrack by John Williams.[246]
MCA Home Video first released Jaws on VHS in 1980.[247][248] For the film's 20th anniversary in 1995, MCA Universal Home Video issued a new Collector's Edition tape featuring a making-of retrospective.[249] This release sold 800,000 units in North America.[250] Another, final VHS release, marking the film's 25th anniversary in 2000, came with a companion tape containing a documentary, deleted scenes, outtakes, and a trailer.[251]
Jaws was first released on DVD in 2000 for the film's 25th anniversary, accompanied by a massive publicity campaign.[250] It featured a 50-minute documentary on the making of the film (an edited version of that featured on the 1995 LaserDisc release), with interviews with Spielberg, Scheider, Dreyfuss, Benchley, and other cast and crew members. Other extras included deleted scenes, outtakes, trailers, production photos, and storyboards.[252] The DVD shipped one million copies in just one month.[253] In June 2005, a 30th anniversary edition was released at the JawsFest festival on Martha's Vineyard.[235] The new DVD had many extras seen in previous home video releases, including the full two-hour Bouzereau documentary, and a previously unavailable interview with Spielberg conducted on the set of Jaws in 1974.[254] On the second JawsFest in August 2012, the Blu-ray Disc of Jaws was released,[236] with over four hours of extras, including The Shark Is Still Working.[255] The Blu-ray release was part of the celebrations of Universal's 100th anniversary, and debuted at fourth place in the charts, with over 362,000 units sold.[256] The film was released on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on 1 June 2020.[257]
