Official WS DVD Out Next Tuesday; Box Set Due December 3


The Official 2013 World Series DVD is scheduled for release on Tuesday, November 26. You can see a short trailer here.

Consumer note: Don't buy anything until the World Series DVD box set comes out the following week, on December 3. There appears to be eight discs - which probably means the six World Series games, a disc of bonus stuff, and the official WS DVD mentioned above. If I'm right, then MLB is hoping to get you to pay twice for the same stuff.

Now, if MLB was smart, they'd include pennant-clinching game against the Tigers instead of doubling up on the official DVD. (That way, many more Red Sox fans would buy both items - and MLB would actually make more money.) But as we all know ...

Maybe they just wanted to release at least one in time for Chanukah.

Sure. Blame the Jews.

I don't think the WS DVD was included with the '04 and '07 box sets. Unless that's what the "bonus disc" was?

I thought it was in the 2004 set. I seem to recall being annoyed that I had two copies of it. But now I'm not sure!

Bonus discs were not the official disc. Bonus included stuff like the locker room celebrations, various interviews, Millar telling CHB how it was going to go down, etc.

WS Film was on the '04 DVDs, but not the '07 ones.
