[Reply #80 on:]

How are u going to block the air mail cargo plane to Australia? Are u an Alqueda member or something 

[Reply #81 on:]

Nah, I'll just prevent the Amazon UK depot from sending out any copies  .

All for Cyber, all for Cyber 

[Reply #82 on:]

so u'll ruin it for everyone?

Forget Bin Laden and Sadaam, Cyber is the real terrorist!

[Reply #83 on:]

Not everyone, just everyone else  .

Then again, this would play into FOX's hands! I cannot do such a thing (as if I would). 

[Reply #84 on:]

[Reply #88 on:]

hey, i was wondering if anyone elses australian dvd season 2 audio commentaries are a little "off".
what i mean is when the commentators stop saying stuff and you can here the characters speaking the sound track is about 2 seconds behind the footage. Did this happen to everyone or have i gone insane?   

[Reply #89 on:]

"Stop yelling at me!"      

Oh well, but some people (me) don't have credit cards or parents who trust the internet.
 

Except I didn't pay $95, I paid about $80 I think.

When I bought mine I used my parents creditcard, I just agreed that if something went wrong I'd foot the bill for any expenses. But now I have my own creditcard-

 "No world! you put your hands up!"

**does evil laugh** goes into coughing fit

[Reply #94 on:]

What's on the shirt?
Where did you get the shirt/dvd combo?

tell me more... tell me more...

[Reply #95 on:]

[Reply #96 on:]

@Grim when you get your season 3 imported can you check to see if its like the Season 2 one and is also Region 4 thanks.

[Reply #97 on:]

My aunt lives in England and because Season 3 is such a great season I might get her to buy it for me.

Hmmmm.. "How Hermes Requisistioned His Groove Back" was losing sync towards the end for me.

[Reply #100 on:]

That happens on the UK set as well. I think they must have deleted something by accident which de-synched the audio.

I don't know whether it happens on many tracks, but "Requisitioned" is definitely the worst.

[Reply #101 on:]

I have a feeling it's to do with the DVD player - because if you change the audio tracks whilst playing (instead of doing it via the menus) my iBook speeds up the normal audio track, allowing it to "catch up" with the commentary. This only happens on the S2 Futurama...maybe that's got something to do with it.

[Reply #102 on:]

Now grim be honest is there any difference between the uk and australian copies?

[Reply #103 on:]

The actual discs - no. If there was, it would be a pointless waste of time to have australian copyright notices on the UK edition (but knowing Fox...)

[Reply #104 on:]

I haven't actually READ the rest of this topic, so I'm not sure if my question's already been answered. Anyway, I live in Australia (as most of you may know) but our family doesn't actually HAVE a DVD Player yet.

Alright, finished laughing at me yet? Okay, I'll continue now. 

Anyway, we're getting a DVD player in July, so I'm starting to stock up on DVD's now. What I want to know is - can you get the Futurama Season 1 & 2 DVD's in shops or anything, or do you HAVE to order it off the net?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm not sure if DVD retailers would stock a DVD box-set season of a somewhat unpopular show or not...

Damn, I'm gonna look like a real moron when I submit this post, but oh well, at least I'll get my question answered...

[Reply #105 on:]

yes ive seen both sets in Harvey Normans/Myers etc

[Reply #106 on:]

JB hi-fi seems to be where people buy them from, u only need to order off the net it u wanna get it early from Britain.

Speaking of which mine has just been dispatched!

[Reply #107 on:]

Okay, thanks.

[Reply #108 on:]

i thought the uk discs had different languages on them than the australian disks?

[Reply #109 on:]

I am pretty sure they are identical

[Reply #110 on:]

Australian one has:

English, Italian and French
Subtitles for commentaries in these languages

[Reply #111 on:]

preserving plastic sleeve, i still laugh when ever i read that one grim
