Shame.
That said, 15 bucks for an entire TV season (it's still on sale) is a great price if you weren't able to check it out when it aired. But if you're an avid fan, it's just mean.
Think it's also unfair towards the cast and crew that worked so hard on it. They don't even have the decency to put some BtS stuff or interviews with the crew on it; or like a commentary with one of the writers/directors for one of the episodes.
One could argue that the Reboot is a midseason show but when Season 3 aired, it was still one of the Fall shows. Also, even midseason shows on CBS got extras on their DVDs.

This site reveals that there are a few Extras on the German DVDs: 8 Deleted Scenes and a Gag Reel.
It's really astonishing why they didn't bother to put them on the US DVDs as well. That's like 10-12 minutes of material and they wouldn't even have needed to dub it or put subtitles in... like, no work at all

I have all access and there is nothing there. In fact, they consistently used the promo for 4.3 for other episodes. Couldn't even give us the right promo. 😬 so I guess your second suggestion is accurate 😄

I think there's one featurette from S1 that used to be up on All Access and Amazon Prime (and maybe iTunes).
But yes, nothing else... That's why I never bothered with buying the seasons in digital. Would have been more expensive in my regions than the DVDs that I planned on buying anyway and also, no extras on the digital platforms either....

How come most of the back of the dvd is written in German, yet the extras are written in English?
Seems to be a newer thing... on my older DVDs, it was "Gelöschte Szenen" for Deleted Scenes and "Verpatzte Szenen" for the Gag Reel (literal translation: screwed-up scenes ).

If you’re one of the lucky people having access to an international Season 3 DVD release, you get to watch a Deleted Scene of Episode 3×11 in which Bozer preps the apartment he had planned to move in with Leanna; waiting for her arrival to enjoy some cozy time together. Instead, it’s Matty arriving, handing Bozer a phone and advising him to make a “last” phone call with Leanna because she was just appointed to continue the undercover mission that Matty’s ex-husband Ethan had been assigned to; taking his place in the S-Company.
I'm assuming they cut this scene because they realized that Reign is able to do more episodes (she had been absent to film a pilot episode for another show in New Zealand). But in the end, she didn’t have much to do in Episodes 3×15 or 3×17 anyway – probably because they needed the added screentime for Desi.
I guess they didn't bother to re-film the sequence but asserted her character the same fate. (Minor Spoiler Alert: In Episode 4×01 or maybe 4x02, it was mentioned in passing that Bozer had lost Leanna to a mission.)
Desi happens to have the exact same skills as Leanna. Either they wanted Reign for more episodes and it didn't work out or Lenkov and producers got tired of her; realizing she and Desi are basically the same characters?
Whatever the reason, writing a recurring character out off-screen without much explanation so they don’t have to deal with the fall-out or heartbreak for Bozer was rather cheap in my opinion... also, if they broke up, Bozer could have moved out of the apartment with Leanna and back into Mac’s house?
