No wonder my Season 1 set was so cheap

Way back once upon a time, I found 24’s Season 1 for the totally cheapo price of $24.99 and snatched it right up. 
(I also promised to blog on it weekly, and that totally fell apart, but that’s another story. I still have 17 episodes to blog on, and I swear I will. Someday. I have two kids. Sue me.)
Anyhow, I think I know why Season 1 was so cheap. Fox is coming out with a whole new Special Edition of Season 1. The original set, rushed to stores in advance of Season 2, only had an optional introduction by Kiefer Sutherland and an alternate ending (in which SPOILER ALERT! Teri didn’t die).
So now Fox has a seven-DVD set (mine was six) that is scheduled to come out May 20, according to TVShowsonDVD.com. List price is $59.98.
You’ll still get Kiefer’s introduction and the alternate ending. But some episodes have commentary tracks. The seventh disc is all extras (extended and deleted scenes and new featurettes, including, “The Genesis of 24.” And it’s all enclosed in a special “steelbook” tin (check out the photo here).
DVDEmpire already has a pre-order listing.
Dammit! Does this mean I have to buy a second copy of Season 1?

Hooray for repackaging. And it isn’t even in HD? Bah, I’ll be staying with the set I’ve already got…
