I don't believe so. The DVD has both sets of movies and includes the Wong Kar Wai that was not available on the web site for a period (some sort of rights issue, I imagine). If you're a BMW owner, the price for the DVD is right -- free except for shipping.

I have the DVD, I got it at a carshow. There are 8 movies on it and they are awesome. There are also some special features on the DVD. The movies are Hostage, Ticker, Beat the Devil, Ambush, Chosen, The Follow, Star, and Powder Keg. I have had the Disc for a year and no new movies have been released in a while.
