Jacob... are you talking about the new Digital Video Essentials or the original Video Essentials DVD. The new one has not been released.
I'm actually quite surprised that it screwed up your setup the way it did. It's the first time I heard of it.
I did the same dvdpricesearch.com search and I came up with the same results. It the disc called "Digital Video Essentials" the new VE disc? It seems to be made by the same people. Seems that it is going to be released next month.
