Strange indeed. I cancelled my Deep Discount order for Season 3, Volume 1 and ordered this through CC on the phone; The Complete Season 3, due on July 14 for $39.98 Why not? The Volume 1 set wasn't due to ship until July 21, and cost $19.96, and this is the complete set on July 14 for just double that amount. Course, we'll see if this 'exclusive' holds, but it clearly beats waiting for the release of the second volume and paying for it separately.Bob Hug said:I received Critics Choice's latest mail order catalog and, surprise, it has not one but two listings (page 2 and the rear cover) for "Route 66: Complete Third Season." Naturally, when you go to Critics Choice's web site, Critic's Choice Video, there is no such listing! This is an 8-disc, 31-episode set according the the brief description and is listed as "A Critics Choice Exclusive!" The MSRP listed is $49.95 and is discounted to $39.96 plus shipping. There is no indication as to how long this might be an exclusive of CC. The cover artwork is different from what TVShowsonDVD has shown for season 3, volume 1.
For the life of me, why not release this as a full season set everywhere rather than just at CC and dump the volume sets? My belief is that those interested in "Route 66" are in for the long haul on this series.
Thanks for the scoop, Bob. Course, doesn't Infinity own Deep Discount? It all gets confusingly incestuous.
