The Office season 1 (US version) 8/16/05
According to TVShowsOnDVD, The Office season 1 will be released on August 16th.
Don't plan on taking a vacation August 16 because you're going to The Office. The American version of the hit BBC series has been announced by Universal Studios. This single disc release will include all 6 episodes (132 mins) for $29.98. The A/V specs include an Anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) transfer, and a Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo mix (English/Spanish subtitles). Extras include deleted scenes, outtakes and more.

If you haven't seen the original (British) version either, get that first. It's miles better.
That being said, I did like this version more than I thought I would, and I do hope there is a season 2. Has that been confirmed?

Can finally erase my Tivo'd editions. Will definately pick this up (by pre-ordering from DDD for $21 and change).
My guess is the one above is a homemade copied from HD Tivo version.

I'll be getting this as soon as it comes out. I've heard good things about the British version but I then remembered it was British. Sorry, but I must be in the minority of people that have never "got" British humor.

It was a mid season replacement. Much like Seinfeld, Moonlighting, etc, the first seasons are short, and the longer (full season), comes inthe fall.

i'm glad to see that it got renewed; i was impressed how it wasn't a straight copy of the british version, like the US coupling miserably tried to do; there are similarities of course; but i think they cast the US version and steve carrell brings a interesting take on the annoying boss that is slightly different from the british version.

Good news on both ends. The show seemed like it could really work, the first season was hit & miss with me, but I definitely wanna see more. I think they can get something good going with this series.

eventhough I have most of the season on divix I will proably pick this up for the 20 it will likely be, to support good entertaining, creative shows. I am really glad that they decided to take this a different direction than what the brittish show went.

I guess I have a different take on this than everyone else. I enjoyed watching the American version on TV, and will watch the second season, but won't be picking up the DVD. I just don't think it has the rewatchability that the British one has...
