This past Sunday we posted the
press release for Fox's
January 27th release of
The Girls Next Door - Season 4 on DVD. It listed all the episodes that are found on this 3-disc set, but didn't list any bonus material (unless you count some 5th Season episodes which are found on this set). The next day, however, we
reported that our retail contacts had gotten information from Fox's password-protected retailer site about extras that would also include Deleted Scenes and Audio Commentary Tracks on selected episodes by Holly, Bridget and Kendra.
By Tuesday, however, we received an e-mail from Stacie Hougland, the Content Editor at Fandango.com, informing us that she had heard that "
the specs recently changed for this release and they removed all the special features". Her information came from Fox's PR team and from Playboy, so we were mystified when our own retail contact told us that the listing at Fox's retailer site was still showing the same list of extras. So we dug into it further.
This morning we've confirmed that there won't be any Deleted Scenes or Audio Commentary Tracks included on this release after all. No reason for the change was given. We're told that the only content will be the 16 episodes listed in the
press release, including the "House Bunnies" special episode (which ties in with
the recent Anna Faris film, and the first three episodes broadcast as part of the fifth season run: "Hot Chocolate," "She's Got Game" and "Scream Test".
The list price remains $29.98 for
The Girls Next Door - Season 4, but you can
pre-order it from Amazon
