SarahLove, fortunately you're wrong. Friends was in the mid-90's. DVD boxed sets were a brand new concept these days. Currently, the majority of successful TV shows (Alias, Lost, 24, Scrubs) release the box set the beginning of the next season. Hell... Doctor Who started a month ago and during the first episode, they announced the box set was available for pre-order and will be released in July.

Movies used to wait *AT LEAST* a year before they were available to purchase/rent. Now it's three or four months. Mind you... they still whine about lower box office receipts but that's another story...

Summary: We should hear something either within a month or by mid-summer at the latest.
