Yes, it's very disappointing.

"Paul Cashmere: You shot over 100 hours of footage of the This Is It rehearsals. The DVD will feature additional content and one of those songs is ‘Stranger In Moscow’ that isn’t in the film.
Sandrine Orabona: “Stranger in Moscow” is one of the songs that we shot during rehearsal that wasn’t included in the movie. I think since it’s a ballad, you can expect to see something that’s visually similar to the “Human Nature” section of the film. It’s also personally one of my favorite moments of the rehearsal process, so I’m very happy to hear that Sony has chosen to include it in the DVD bonus content for the film."

"After a final version of the movie was done in mid-September, Patterson and Key went on to edit and shoot additional content for the DVD, which is expected to ship in January or February with several hours of new footage, including performances of songs such as "Stranger in Moscow" that didn't make the theatrical release."

I'm guessing Sony thought - "Why release it on the movie DVD, when we can make
even more money by releasing another DVD of unreleased footage later on?" :smilerolleyes:
