It's all about marketing. Each teritory is controlled by a different label (all essentiall y Island DefJam, but different in each country.) It might be that in Europe they have decided that it'll only sell well if you bundle a DVD with it. In Japan, they were popular long before they were in the US, and as such have always had bonus stuff on their discs.

Another way of looking at it would be that the US has, over the years, had much more touring that other countries - look at the Bounce tour, 2 North American legs....1 in Europe, 1 in Japan...NONE anywhere else...so they might want to give more to the rest of the world as the US gets more in the way of live shows.

Who knows....just buy the import if your that upset, you can get it on the net quite cheap.

Oh, and while we're on the subject....how about the fact that the US got the Target Red CD, AND the QVC package....where-as nowhere else in the world did....hmmm??? Don't hear you mentioning that now do we?
