Plus as you've said, they only have a few weeks after the season ends nowadays to finish the whole thing off, hence why there's hardly any decent post-season stuff on there. Of course, given Liberty want even more rounds, I can't see this changing sadly.”
Nope, I know they don't. Indeed, I think it was only for that one season. What I meant by that remark was that I saw it as an indicator of a move in the wrong direction and showed a lack of understanding of what the fans want from their season review DVDs. I think 2007, if that is what it was, was the only year that the review was produced by Lionsgate so that may have explained the different approach taken on that one. It was truly awful, that one.

Yep, I think a free copy of one of these came with one of the Sony video games at that time. I didn't have to buy one that year because I had it on a singular Sony disc which looked like one of those demo discs you used to get from PlayStation magazines.
