Unexpected because it's earlier than the British release and also because the US airing of Jane Eyre in Masterpiece Theater it's scheduled a couple of weeks later. Maybe a typo? We hope not...

We don't know if this edition contains the extras that we reported yesterday.

EDIT
ShopPBS has written to us, confirming the release date and the absence of extras :-(

The released date is as listed on the website. This item does not have any special features. We apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused you.

Sincerely,

Timothy C.

(*) The date has been postponed until 20 February 2007
