Black Mamba for Christmas

I'd hoped to find the 4-disc, definitive, re-edited, 247-minute Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair DVD package under the tree this next Christmas, but alas... Amazon.com, which in June listed the release date as November 6, now reports that the DVD's release has been pushed to December 25, Christmas day. OK, so now I'm hoping I'll find enough Best Buy gift cards under the tree to scoop up the damn thing on the 26th!
