Not to sound too cynical, but they probably didn't know if this M9 with Petrenko would happen or not, and they needed to generate some sales and excitement in the mean-time. Also, people have been clamoring for a complete Haitink B.P.O. cycle - a sentiment for which I simply do not share. Many of those same people probably don't care that there will never be a Hatink/B.P.O. M8 - having this M9 makes their dream one step closer to being complete. 

I refuse to spend a dime on this until I can hear the Dudamel M3 and the Rattle M8 with Johan Botha.

Your motivations are valid, Barry, since I don't believe this set is geared towards "Mahlerians" like all of us. For us it's more about the potential individual purchases, which may be part of the reason they're releasing these ones individually; they know there are many diehard Mahler fans out there that are going to pick and choose.

Surprised they didn't do this with the Bruckner set.

BPO confirmed that they will NOT have the individual recordings for sale separately.

You mean specifically CD right? You can purchase the recordings digitally on Presto right now.

So far each release has its own page if you do a search for it. Here’s the Haitink BPO M9 only available as a digital download: https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/8907114--mahler-symphony-no-9

The M7 and M6 are on there too.

Keep in mind, for the frugally minded like myself: Amazon has the Berlin recordings from the set for a mere 99 cents a track, regardless of the size of the movement. Just don't fall into the trap of paying extra for the digital booklet.
