Hey lilgish - Do you mean the Bad Tour DVD? I'm not sure although MJJSource (his official website) did mention it will be forthcoming.

Who in the hell is buying Christmas music in March?

Maybe they're getting festive for Easter?

I bought the Carpenters Christmas Portrait two summers ago. I guess it just depends on how bad you want to hear material from your favorite artist.
