Interesting.  So that would almost seem to me that the special would be released on
a 3rd DVD.

There had been a rumor that she'd asked for some very high sum in order to return
to the studio, way more than the others had agreed to be paid.  I'm sure that FUNimation
and Petrea will never actually ever say the true reason she wouldn't return.

Anyway, you dub fans will have to judge whether the new voice of Ryoko made any improvements
from GXP.
