Thing is, and this is an important factor, they're not being released for sale
per se, they're included as an added benefit. To release them on their own
would mean selling them as a separate unit, and that would be problematic in
terms of working out royalties and residuals. Which is why you generally don't
see a lot of it on other shows absent some kind of prior arrangement or
understanding.
