Split Buying Opportunity for 30 Rock's debut DVD!

[TV DVD Fan]

Recently revealed on TSoD, 30 Rock Season One will now be available as 2 separate volumes for 26.98 each. But of course the complete season set previously announced will still be another way of purchasing 30 Rock on DVD this September 4th.

That set streets for 49.98, but is now available at Amazon for 32 bucks and change. Newly announced extras include bloopers and deleted scenes. Fey commentates on select disc 1 and 3 episodes, which is also the only places where you'll find extras on this 3-disc set. The first individual volume has 2 discs while the second volume (released on the same date) only has one.

I agree. What is the point?

I'm of course buying the full set but I think the studio's just trying to cash in on 30 Rock by offering on-the-fence potential buyers with a means of purchasing the set in two different volumes, even though it'll set you back 5 extra bucks or so than if you'd just dive into the full-season set right away. I think the stores will have more of the individual volumes than the full-season sets when the discs come out so's more money can be made for the money-hungry studio. So, call me crazy, but I believe that more people will buy the individual volumes than you might think, if there is no full-season set on the shelf, they'll just say "What the hell?". But true fans will hold out until their favorite store starts putting out more of the full-season sets on the shelves.
