An email from Sharon Delaney at Creation seems to clear things up (thanks to LadyKate63 for this info)
Only Best Buy has the extra 30 minutes of interviews. And Best buy has the director's cut of Sacrifice 2 which has added footage. Those two items are on disc 8. All the sets have 9 discs and disc 8 is the only one that's different on the Best Buy version.
Some info about the season three DVDs. They will include audio commentary by Lucy and Renee on "The Bitter Suite" and "One Against An Army." An audio commentary by Lucy and Rob on "The Debt I." And an audio commentary by Rob and Liz Friedman on "The Furies." Also audio commentary by Ted Raimi on "King Of Assassins," RJ Stewart on "The Furies," Steve Sears on "When In Rome," and Hudson Leick on "Sacrifice."
Besides the audio commentaries that were done, video interviews were conducted with Lucy, Renee, Rob, Ted Raimi, Hudson Leick, Alex Tydings, RJ Stewart, Steve Sears, Eric Gruendemann, Liz Friedman, Bernie Joyce, Armus and Foster, Gillian Horvath, Donald Duncan, Rob Gillies, Oley Sassone, John
Laing, Andrew Merrifield.
As has been done in the past, Best Buy will have extra interview material -- probably some of the video interview stuff. All the interviews were conducted on camera. I'm guessing they'll do as they did last time. You can listen to the interviews as audio while the episode is running and or watch
the same material as video without the episode running.
There will be two versions -- one version for Best Buy and another version for everyone else, i.e. amazon, Deep Discount, Creation, D-P (the Xena Circle), etc. Both versions have nine discs. Three eps each on discs 1-7 -- that covers eps 1 - 21.
Regular version of disc #8 (amazon, Deep Discount, Creation, D-P (the Xena Circle), etc.):
Disc #8
1. Episode #22 "Sacrifice II" with audio/video commentary by Hudson Leick
Disc #9 is a CD-ROM containing:
Best Buy Version of disc #8:
Disc #9 is a CD-ROM containing same as the regular version:
I proofread the front of both versions of the boxes. I also proofread the labels for the nine discs for each version.
You can of course support Xenaville and buy through Amazon.com!
The DVDs aredue for release on 10th February.
The Definitive Word on Season 3 DVDs...??
There has been much discussion on the Xenaville Message Boards (and other places too no doubt) about what will be on the upcoming Season 3 DVDs, and especially on the US only Best Buy version, which has extra footage that some people might want.
Season Three DVD Information
For US fans, www.bestbuy.com would appear to be the place to look, although I couldn't see the details listed by Sharon. For non US fans, Best Buy ONLY ships to US addresses and accepts payments from US people, so get networking with your American pals!
