This is about as stupid as if the Sex and the City movie came out, but was only available if you bought a season boxset. Or if the new X-files movie came out, but was only included on a re-release of one of the season boxsets. I can't see how HBO thinks it's a good idea to send the message that you shouldn't buy their DVD sets until a series is finished and off the air.

Is it worth it to get the seasons for 13.49 in the Best Buy Thanksgiving sale online?
Will the Special be available separately?

Any way you slice it, this is just HBO charging $40 for the one disc they know we all want.
Watch HBO complain that no one's buying any copies of Season One of Gervais's next show, and then blame it on video games and illegal downloading.

Are they sure that the special will only be released with the gift set? TVShowsOnDVD.com has the news they've received, and although they say that the gift set will have the special with it, there isn't anything about whether or not the special will be available separately.

I just noticed that the seasons are 10.99 each on Amazon. That's an even better deal considering no tax.
Right now the Amazon pre-order price on the complete set is 34.99. This means that I (and the others holding out) will be paying an extra 13.01 for just the special. <sigh>

I'm sure it'll be available seperately later. I already have season one from England, and will probably get season two from there too, after learning of the overdubs and also-shot bits for the US market.

Why do HBO hate its customers??? BBC Warner released "The Office - X'mas Special" by itself in addition to the complete collector's set....so why can't HBO do the same??? Aren't they all under Warner's distribution arm?
