OK, I'll try that. Except WHSmith isn't in a very-easy-to-find location like Picadilly Circus. I'll look anyway. The WHSmith.co.uk Website locked up IE. Grr.

Okay, I can't be bothered to look back in the thread to see if anyone's posted this but I'll post it anyway. DVD monthly reviewed the season 3 set this month and gave it 5 stars (top marks) for the episodes, and 3 stars for the extras. They also made a little attack on Fox which shows that someone actually supports us out there.
In other news, my DVD's should be arriving soon but since I'm at my parents now I can't find out if they've arrived. Hopefully by Thursday I'll have them...

3 stars for the extras? We are not amused! It's all a matter of opinion. We may find a a guide on how to draw Fry and Leela interesting but not everyone does. Personally, I think it would be nice to have a documentary on the animation or the voice artists.

well you are all complaining about 3 stars for extras, do you agree with total dvd's review? http://www.totaldvd.net/cgi-bin/dvdreviews.php?dvdid=4880 "Extras 8 Again we are spoilt for choice which an extras packed boxset. Contained within are Audio Commentaries for each episode, Photo Galleries, Deleted Scenes, Easter Eggs, Animatics, How to Draw Characters and an animated commentary for one of the episodes. Altogether this is a very substansial package of extras which will give fans many hours of fun trawling through." Also not alot of tv dvds offer commentry for every single episode in the series!

I don't want to get too fussy over this, but... Altogether this is a very substansial package of extras which will give fans many hours of fun trawling through. All publications have differing guidelines on how to review material, but Total DVD pointed out that most of the material is aimed at fans. DVD monthly obviously feels that that this is more of a hindrance then an advantage. Besides, they gave the episodes top marks, what more do you want?!?! You know the featurettes on the S1 DVDs? Originally they were part of a 15 minute "Making of Futurama" programme, and included interviews with the three main voice artists. Why, oh why? I have to get a copy of that.

I've been doing nothing but watching season 3 now. First regularly and then with commentary. Those are the best commentaries that I've heard in a long time. Has anyone found any of the easter eggs promised on the package?

(Clicking "More Info" locked up my PC)
I can play them if i restart and run power DVD ASAP, but i don't even have TV Out setup at the moment! I've had trouble playing the third disc using my ATI player. When I skip past the final copyright warning before the alien language one it seizes up. I know four works but I'm not sure about one and two.

I think that this is probabaly the second worst Futurama DVDs yet. All the screes are so cold and dark, the extras are pretty bad and the intros are flash 5.

I guess France haven't aired FOX season 4 yet. Hence no dubbing made. Originally posted by swarez: I've been doing nothing but watching season 3 now. First regularly and then with commentary. Those are the best commentaries that I've heard in a long time. Has anyone found any of the easter eggs promised on the package? Yes, there are three. Disc 1 -> select Amazon Women In the Mood -> Left -> enter - gives a list of original and never used opening titles
Disc 1 -> select A Tale Of Two Santas -> left -> enter - gives an audio only table read of the episode. This one is hillarious.
Disc 1 -> select A Tale Of Two Santas -> left -> up -> enter - gives an intro to the episode from David X Cohen, and his take on FOX censoring the episode, very funny. Welcome to PEEL. Enjoy it here.

A lot of people seem to be having technical problems with the disks. I mainly play mine on my Sony DVD player and everything works perfectly. However ive noticed that when i play them on my laptop i can't access the stills gallery. hardly a big deal but i think that the problems arise on PC DVD players because they all have different sofware and specifications... Just play them on a purpose built DVD player connected to a TV and they're perfect. Afterall that is the players only function, to play DVDs.

All the episode's image quality looks about the same to me. The should all be the same coz they are taken from the digital source... unlike another Groening cartoon that I wont name.

No problem with my discs or player so I'm good. And thanks for the tips Teral, that's a neat way to hide spoilers.

This happens with some DVDs on my Apple Mac as well (especailly the Futurama DVDs). The solution for me is to select the options with the keypad rather than the mouse...don't know if that's any help. Try using VideoLAN to play your DVDs as well, that normally sorts out many of my problems (if slow on my G3)
