The Office Season 4 DVD Buying Guide

More photos of the Target Deluxe Package:
This confirms that the bonus cast footage is of their Q&A from last fall’s Office Convention in Scranton.
This shows what appears to be a sticky notes set in book form. It also confirms that a script from Season 4 is included in the package, and my guess it is of ‘Dinner Party,’ the same script I received in my press copy (sticker shown here).

More details on the Target exclusive package: “Contains a bonus disc of Q&A with the cast.” Is this the Cast Q&A from the Office Convention? No confirmation yet. Source

Get a sneak peak of a deleted scene from ‘The Office’ Season 4 DVD — from your cell phone! Text “SCENE” to 62288 from your mobile device to download the clip. I hear it might be a deleted scene from the episode “Did I Stutter?” (I can’t view it myself because I have an iPhone, which doesn’t support WAP sites. If you know a workaround, please post a comment!)

BestBuy’s online store in Canada is now showing an image of its exclusive package of ‘The Office’ Season 4 DVD. Looks like it uses similar packaging from last year, and includes a Fun Run wristband, t-shirt, and water bottle. Retails for CAD $39.99 (or US $38.30 at current rates).
If this will also be sold in the U.S., this is a great deal, since buying the wristband, t-shirt, and water bottle at the NBC store alone would total US $37!

The Office DVD website has been updated with a Season 4 page, and even though the trailer doesn’t contain any real new footage, I still watched it, like, five times in a row. :)
Hopefully we’ll see blooper clips soon!

OVERVIEW:
The Office is back with even more inappropriate remarks, uncomfortable silences, and obnoxious behavior in the complete fourth season of the Primetime Emmy® Award-winning series! Steve Carell (40 Year-Old-Virgin) is back in his Golden Globe® -winning role as Michael Scott, the clueless boss of the Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch who manages to create unending comical drama despite his best intentions. Trusty and loyal assistant-to-the-regional manager Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) continues to uphold the office honor as Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) find ways to meddle with him and encourage Michael’s hysterics. Plus, see “wunder kid” Ryan (B.J. Novak) in his new role at corporate as he pushes the infinite limits of Dunder Mifflin, often pushing Michael to his limits as well.

I got a free copy of the Season 4 DVD in the mail just last week. Why? Because I won second place in the Sierra Mist contest earlier this year to be an extra on the show! Thank you very much Office Tally, I never would have entered as many times as I did (virtually every weekday of the contest) and thus never would have won a free copy of Season 4. I have probably watched everything included more than once already. Thanks again!
[from tanster: that's awesome! :) ]
Wow, these are so cheap! At the NBC Store, JUST the DVD is $50!
Like everyone who pre-ordered from BestBuy.com, I had my Gift Set backordered on me and had lost just about all hope of it not being canceled. But miraculously I got my “Your shipment is on the way!” email today. I hope everyone else did too…
I am very disappointed in the special features. Especially since I missed the memo that there is no longer a table read.
I am however enjoying the script that is included.
But still :(
Was on holiday in NYC from the UK and was lucky to buy the last copy of the box set from Best Buy, man did I run to the checkout =) I wish there was a table read on it though, let’s bug them for season 5 :)
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!
Yeah so you guys probably remember the Sierra Mist contest during the summer with the office? right? I know you guys would! Well so thanks to my sister I was randomly chosen to win season four of the office on DVD. So…
I would like to thank NBC for randomly picking my name and my sister for putting my name in the contest!!!!!!!!!! =)
My son picked up mine yesterday at BB! Script of Dinner Party included. The Bloopers are on the 4th disc…why?? Wish there were more Bloopers!! Would love to see a table read as well.
Julia,
I ordered mine from bestbuy as well and my order still has not shipped yet. Hopefully something will change soon.
Wasn’t there supposed to be a table read bonus extra? Anyone know what happened to that?
I don’t know if anyone mentioned this, but I saw the The Office Ultimate Package at Target today for $99.99 if anyone wanted to save a couple bucks instead of buying from Amazon. It did not have the Dinner Party script, though.
I was just wondering if anybody could tell me which disc the bloopers were on? I don’t own the set, I’m just renting it from netflix. I want to watch my favorite part first!
The bloopers were so hilarious. I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.
To 685, I’m glad to hear that someone besides me actually saw The Promotion (though I saw it in theaters). I hope you enjoyed it! And to 686, I also loved the Job Fair deleted scenes, but the one that really stood out for me was Pam passing by the case with Roy’s trophies. I really think that should have been left in.
For those who pre-ordered from Best Buy, did your order ship yet? I got an email saying it sold out, then two days later I get an email saying it shipped offering me a 5 dollar coupon. However, when I check on the status, it still says processing..?
Did anyone notice on the disc 3 bonus materials menu(Meredith’s desk), that there’s a Lampshades flyer? I love it!
Has anyone watched the deleted scenes for “Job Fair”? I really enjoyed the ones with Oscar and the high school girl. He tries to get her to intern, but soon he realizes that he is only leading her down the path he wishes he hadn’t taken so he makes the decision to not let her come aboard. Good good stuff!
I was happy to buy my set last night. It was the very last one at my local Wal*mart. I also picked up a copy of “The Promotion.” My husband and I have some fabulous viewing ahead of us for the weekend!
I just received a package from NBC, and I was selected as one of the prize winners from that Sierra Mist Walk-On Role contest!Unfortunately I wasn’t the grand prize winner, but I did receive the season 4 DVD! and now I have 2 of them! Thank you so much Tanster for informing us about the contest!
[from tanster: you're welcome! :) ]
Got my Season 4 DVD from Amazon today, and was surprised and delighted to find the Dinner Party script included. I turned to my roommate and said, “Why is this DVD box so thick?”
And then…
“Holy crap! Dinner Party!”
Has anyone bought the “Ultimate Package” (seasons 1-4) from Amazon?? If so, was there a Dinner Party script tucked in there like the others??
