Hmmm....
Well, if the images are anything to go by, it's the CD, unless they've made videos for The Moebius, Fahrenheit 303 and Philosophy By Numbers!

Personally, I think that Amazon.com have made a mistake... If there was a DVD available, then it would be listed on other sites, especially since the release date on that URL is exactly the same as the CD (i.e. September 15th)...
Nice idea, though...

Warner are releasing this as a budget compilation, so they're spending as little as possible on packaging, design etc. to maximise profit.
Manufacturing a DVD for this would not make sense, plus as someone has already pointed out, there aren't promo videos for some of the tracks...
This is all a misunderstanding, there is no DVD...

They've got this Halcyon CD in Virgin Megastore for £3.99 or something like that.

JJJ productions are currently putting together the finishing touches to the package. These include pop-up artwork of the brothers Hartnoll re-enacting a gig with a tiny carboard A-frame, two fully-poseable Orbital action figures with snap-on accessories, and a 150 page, individually signed and dedicated band biography.
As a special treat, the first 1000 copies will feature a brand-new full-length album of new Orbital work - that some are hailing their best work ever.
Look for it in the shops by Christmas, or order via the Jessopjessopjessop webshop. We think it'll make a lovely present for Grandma or little cousin Jimmy.
