DVD Genie kicks ass!

DVD might be great, but I'm not buying a DVD player just to watch Futurama when it comes out. My TV isn't that great anyway so the higher quality would be less noticeable than if I had a better set.

Bender01...get dancing you're at the top of the page

Don't you have a dvd player on your computer???

You don't know what you're missing....

damn, I was one post to early for being at the top of the page...now I'm at the bottom

[Reply #43 on:]

Yeah not only is the quality better on dvd's, you have the option of jumping tracks/episodes like on a CD... without having to wait 10 minutes for it to fastforward like on a tape.
And you usually get some fun extra options on DVD.. they like sticking behind the scenes stuff or interviews or extras on there for ya. That's always nice. 

[Reply #44 on:]

I think the best part of DVD's is the sound quality.

What's with the Simpsons trashing posts above? 

[Reply #46 on:]

huh?

[Reply #47 on:]

*Is very confused*

Unless several posts have been deleted, the only mention of the Simpsons was to say it is worth the money to get the DVD...that sounds positive.

...yeah whats Calculon on about????

[Reply #49 on:]

Umm, I think I trashed the sets in my second post.
For a show that's been going for over 10 years the extras(not counting the commentaries) were very few. Infact it only took me around 20 minutes to get through them bit of a dissapointment really. where were the other shorts? where was the documentaries or making of featurettes? And the easter eggs were incredibly easy to find.
Don't get me wrong, it was great to have the episodes in DVD quality but I just would have liked more extras.

[Reply #50 on:]

I think they have to save some of the other shorts for subsequent releases.  I agree that it's not as good as it could be.  However, I think it worth every penny. 

[Reply #51 on:]

Hey, I havent seen you before Calculon, are this your first post here?

Anyway, welcome to PEEL

[Reply #52 on:]

I'm really looking forward to the Futurama DVD's. I rarely get to see them in the UK, and the episodes we get are probably heavily edited like in America. It'll be good to see the proper things how Groening intended.

[Reply #53 on:]

Yey! I found the easter egg (hidden feature) in the Simpsons DVD set.

Show spoiler

To find the easter egg, play disc 3. Select "Extra features", "Next" and then select Bart's T-shirt.

Why is it that the US, where the show is originally aired and made, dosen't get the DVD first? Booo Fox, booo~!

[Reply #55 on:]

Something to do with the fact that Fox 0wnz the rights to put the Simpsons out for a long time, so the Futurama DvD's may not make it until their American contract runs out, somewhere in 2004!

Welcome to PEEL, Slimchandi

Boy, can't wait until theese DVD's get released. Áre they gonna be available on Amazon.co.uk?

[Reply #57 on:]

I guess so. They would be a fool not to, that's where i'll get mine from.

[Reply #58 on:]

Let's hate Fox. Wait! We already hate Fox..

[Reply #59 on:]

Yes, we hate Fox and we will always hate Fox.

[Reply #60 on:]

slimchandi eh?

[Reply #61 on:]

aw man i wish i had a dvd player... am i the only person who doesn't!!??..

[Reply #62 on:]

the reason the US can't get the DVDs first is to do with syndication rights. A show has to be going 5 years to go into syndication and video or DVD releases have to wait until the show's in syndication. Because the shows are bought by other channels in the UK, no such rules apply meaning they can be released as soon as they've aired(even before, in the case of Friends)

As for the Simpsons DVDs, I certainly don't regret getting them, the DVD transfer is very good and the commentaries are fantastic fun.

btw, another easter egg can easily be found here:

Show spoiler

*go to the "art of the Simpsons" on disc 3 then click left and bart's comic will highlight. click enter and you will access a few magazine covers featuring the simpsons*

[Reply #63 on:]

I can't wait for Futurama on DVD! I wish someone would freeze me until January the 29th so I can have them now. The packaging looks great!

[Reply #64 on:]

Would I be able to order these on a UK DVD site from the US? For example, would amazon.co.uk ship to the US?

[Reply #65 on:]

I would expect so.
I can say I'm 99.99% sure there will be somewhere that ships these to the U.S. so relax guys

[Reply #66 on:]

But you need a DVD player that's not region locked...

[Reply #67 on:]

Thats easy, just get the player chipped to make it multi region.

[Reply #68 on:]

I think the Simpsons DVD set has a protection so it can't be used with region 0 players (multi region). Some new DVDs has region 0 protection. If you want to play all DVDs the best solution is a player that can change region as many times as you want.

[Reply #69 on:]

If you have a dvd player on your computer get DVD Genie, you can change the region's to what the dvd is.

[Reply #70 on:]

Soo... what UK websites will sell the DVDs?

[Reply #71 on:]

you tell me...

[Reply #72 on:]

Amazon.co.uk probably.

[Reply #73 on:]

and blackstar.co.uk

[Reply #74 on:]

Woohoooo! 

[Reply #75 on:]

Having these in Canada on DVD would be amazing ... but I'll wait until Region 1 is available even though I could get these to work on my computer.

I have a feeling it'll be a long wait though.

[Reply #76 on:]

About 3 years I expect.
