I don't really care if it's in HD or not, I might when I have HD equipment but that'll be years away...

Okay, as an animator, I can clear a few things up...
HD (increased resolution) doesn't matter too much with animation because it's primarily made of lines and flat colours, something which upscales well.
16:9 ratio would be very nice though, widescreen is becoming the new standard and it's a good move. Besides, 16:9 content is often made with the action taking place in the 4:3 area in the centre, so that it can be broadcast on regular TVs without chopping off the action.. this is standard practice for animators who work in 16:9.
There's no real downside to making 16:9 content, it can still be trimmed to fit 4:3 screens with widescreen being saved for the dvd release.

I have a standard definition TV, and I didn't really feel I missed anything in the movies. Mind you, I've never even seen an HD TV, so I really have no comparison.

Leela09 is making fun of me because I'm poor! I'm telling! Seriously though, food and shelter is a bigger priority for me at this stage than some redundant technological gimmick.

DVDs seemed to have a pretty short run. Now they're being replaced by Blu-ray, which is set to be replaced by quantum holo-chips pretty soon.

I don't watch TV so I won't see Futurama on TV. I sure hope they will release them in HD. The third and fourth movie looked both really great an Blu-ray. The details are amazing. The PAL release of the second movie was really awfull. The visible compression artifacts of the DVD releases alone makes it worth to upgrade to the Blu-ray releases. They just haven't been released in germany yet. I had to import both movies on Blu-ray from britain so they were a little bit expensive. I don't want to spend big money on the Blu-ray release because the guys at Fox Germany decide against an Blu-ray release, again. On the other hand, they might release the sixth season on Blu-ray after they have been aired on german TV. DVDs seemed to have a pretty short run. Now they're being replaced by Blu-ray, which is set to be replaced by quantum holo-chips pretty soon. Actually, they will be replaced by internet downloads with mighty DRM. No fun collecting data files. I actually prefer things you can touch over things you can't because they are just numbers on you harddisk.

Why don't you invent a key for the keyboard that will tell people when you are trying to make a joke. It will take the guesswork out of your posts. . BTW I don't think Spaceball will ever read that.

"Trying"? Anyhow, the lighthearted expression of good-natured fun and humor on my avatar should be indication enough. Look at it! It's having a wonderful time.
