I'm sure it's marketing common sense. Wring as much as possible out of selling to Sky etc around the globe (which will require exclusivity clauses to justify the cost), then use the DVD release as part of the marketing for the next series.

Yep it's proven to work. Usually the only exceptions are final seasons and they are usually put out earlier in time for Christmas.
 
I'm somewhere in the middle with regards to the last two books. I think combining then into season 5 is the best thing HBO could do to match the consistency of the other seasons. Certainly got more reason to be excited about next year's season 6 over taking the books. I've got no real concerns about that happening, the writers have been excellent so far at inserting new content into the show (mainly in the form of new character interactions).
