The Surreal Life - 1st and 2nd season on DVD

This is apparently a 3-DVD set, containing all 14 episodes from both the 1st and 2nd season, selling for a mere $29.95! It's exclusively available online at www.SurrealLifeDVD.com.

Number of Discs: 3

Each disc contains over 3 hours of episodes, plus a bonus look at what is ahead for "The Surreal Life" season 3. You will also receive a third DVD, The Surreal Life Uncut (which is filled with never before seen footage):
The Last Supper
Addicted to Sex Segment
Plus a Surreal Life world exclusive - Rick James in one of his final performances as he sings in the house.

Shipping is $7.95

Any details on whether or not this site is legit? There doesn't seem to be any backing from the studio regarding licensing unless I missed something (which is entirely possible).

Also, the only links at the bottom are advertising ones. Maybe its just me, but this seems a little shady to me. Even Amazon (who often carries DVDs that are exclusive to certain other sites (i.e. WSOP 2003 ESON.com "exclusive") doesn't have this either.

I doubt it's legit... No mention of it on VH1's site. And no retail release? I don't buy it.

The DVD is legit.

If any of you listen to Howard Stern, the show's creator and producer was on the show with Mini Me and he was heavily plugging the release whenever he was able to speak (and when not detailing Mini Me's rampant sexcapades).

If it wasnt shown on VH1 constantly, I might be interested, but seeing as they show it all the time it doesnt really seem worth it.
