As you know, Universal Studios Home Entertainment is working on their
September 8th releases of
The Office - Season 5, on DVD and high-def Blu-ray Disc formats. On the same day, Universal will also be releasing a big package of
The Office - Seasons 1-5 Collection, an 18-disc set with every episode shown to date.
The cost is $199.98 SRP for that big box (only available in DVD format), but you can pre-order it from Amazon at a nice discount. We've now got a large, 3D look at the packaging for that title, clearly a design meant to appeal to collectors. Are you a tad puzzled by the banner across the top, which reads: "100 Episodes of Inappropriate Workplace Behavior"? Most episode guides count out 92 episodes aired so far for this series, but in this case the studio is counting 8 extra long ("super-sized") episodes as being two episodes each, which boosts the number from 92 to 100. All that, plus the webisodes as well. All content is the same as the individual releases, though, so unless you just want the special packaging, there's no need to double-dip if you've been collecting the season sets.
