While it is possible that it will show up as an extra on a DVD, it isn't really likely since it is mostly just scenes from the series. Once the series has come out, this will be rather superfluous.
Mainly, it was meant to be released as a collectors item. In this industry, "limited release" means "come buy it now before it's too late!", and sales are encouraged that way. The same reason applys for "first editions" of games/DVDs.

Honestly, the reason why I (and probably many others) shelled out money for curtain raiser is for the package (a nice box, a high quality hard-cover book that contains various information about the anime, poster) and the satisfaction of owning it, rather than the actual promo DVD itself. Fanboy mentality.
