Today my dvd box of "Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu" arrived in the mail. It just came out May 29th. This dvd box only contains the first dvd as the next 3 will come in separate releases over the next months and you can just put them in the dvd box.
But this dvd box is a bit more special than the usual anime boxes. From the outside it looks like a dvd box for 7 dvds, but there is only room for 4. The remaining room is used to put in the music cds that come with every dvd release. This release contains the cd single for the ending song "Hare Hare Yukai". But the box contain more, it also has an iron-on sticker, a hard post card and a head ribbon for cosplaying (it's the orange head ribbon that Haruhi wears).

The content of the dvd:
- Episodes 00 to 03 (english and japanese audio with english subtitles)
- (the usual) textless opening and ending
- TV broadcast previews
- Making of Suzumiya Haruhi clip
- TV commercial
- The Adventures of the ASOS brigade (the american team cosplaying Haruhi)

Buy at Amazon.com:
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Volume 1 (Special Edition)
