To summarise:

X times 117.5 = £35.19

So 35.19/117.5 = X = £29.95 (or close enough).

What happened with the S3 set was that the price dropped about a month, month and a half before sale time (and pre-order prices dropped accordingly). So I wouldn't rule Amazon out just yet.

Yes, I live in Kansas (USA) and I have been region free for about a year 

Hopefully amazon will make a mistake like the (was it the?) S3 box that was priced at £18.   

[Reply #281 on:]

I think that might have been the S2 set.

I'm still waiting for another "." mistake where £3000 plasma TVs get marked as £30.00

Play.com has it for £29.99 with free shipping, apparently to anywhere in Europe.  They don't deliver anywhere else, though.

[Reply #283 on:]

Does [-mArc-] know about this yet and does he have the PEEL loink to it?

[Reply #284 on:]

Link to what?

This is where i have ordered all of my Futurama DVD's and they have always turned up on or before the release date. And its the cheapest place around.

[Reply #285 on:]

They reduced the price to 30% off at amazon.co.uk, so I can now give you the PEEL/CGEF/edel-underwear link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000C24NV/cantgetenough-21

I pre-ordered Season 3 on DVD from play.com and didn't get it until the day after release, I'll be getting Season 4 from Amazon for that reason.

[Reply #287 on:]

I've been checking Amazon.co.uk's price for S4 for a few days now.  This morning, I saw it listed at £27.99.  An extremely precise chronometer would be needed to measure the amount of time it took for me to click 'Pre-order this item today!'.

As of typing, it's now up to 5th on Amazon.co.uk's pre-order chart     

(edit - a few hours later)

It went down to 7th soon afterwards, but I've just checked and it's now 4th on the main DVD chart.  And 2nd, even, on the pre-release chart - ahead of "The Office - Series 2"!

[Reply #288 on:]

Kazzahdrane, I got mine from play too and it came on the Monday, even though I'd only ordered it on the Friday.

None the less it's about time I ordered something through CGEF so I'll probably pre-order it in a couple of weeks or so, just to see what happens to the price.

[Reply #289 on:]

*grrrr* It's so unfair you can't order stuff at amazon.co.uk from Germany, unless you have a credit card. That cheque thing works only for cheques from british banks, right? Damn! It's the same thing with amazon.fr, which was about the only site that had that movie I'd been looking for for a long time. Play.com requires a credit card as well! 

[Reply #290 on:]

I posted this in another thread and it's proboably been mentioned here to:

Copy & paste this url: http://hem.passagen.se/xmpel/releasedate.gif

That's the Swedish release-date so I bet it goes for all of Scandinavia. If not, correct me.

[Reply #291 on:]

Ohhh that means its only a cool 70 australian dollars. But plus postage and handling that could balloon up to any figure..

[Reply #292 on:]

And the problem remains for me on how to get a credit card...

[Reply #293 on:]

Well you'll just have to wait 

[Reply #294 on:]

Also I want all mine to look the same and look like a nice set, and I will have the first three seasons in Australian Style. I don't want it to look out of place with that sleeve and all! 

[Reply #295 on:]

Alex mate, its quantity not quality and at the moment the score is mikey 3-2 alex

Is that true???
You break my heart MrBurns!
When will the S4 DVD arrive in Germany, anyone an idea?

[Reply #297 on:]

Apparently it's not likely until after all of Season Four is localised and airs in Germany.

This is just a logical conclusion (backed up by the delay in Season Three), and I don't think anyone knows for certain.

[Reply #298 on:]

hey,
does anyone know if that price will stay there until a little closer to release, or should i pre-order now?

thanks.

[Reply #299 on:]

If they reduce the price on Amazon after you pre-order, don't you get the new reduced price, and if it increases it will stay at the reduced price?

[Reply #300 on:]

I think it depends on the size of the change. For small increases, I think Amazon cover the costs. But if there's a larger increase, say, £10, then they e-mail you to ask whether you want to continue the order at the increased price.

And if the price goes down, they usually readjust, although it takes a while for them to do it. 

I believe (although I may be wrong) that when you order something with a card, Amazon can only legally charge you for the amount you agreed to (when you confirmed the order). So they can't increase the charge to your card without contacting you. That's why I re-order if the price drops significantly (to prevent Amazon from returning to the original price and charging me that).

[Reply #301 on:]

Well, I pre-ordered mine now from Amazon, it's competative (ie. cheaper than) with the other sites (Blackstar, Play, etc), and this helps Marc out, as I did it through CGEF.

[Reply #302 on:]

Also, with Amazon you should get it on release date, and I got Season 3 one day late from Play.com which is why I'll be going with Amazon this time.

[Reply #303 on:]

Perhaps season four will have one disc just devoted to special features...
I'm preo
ordering it this week.  CAN'T WAIT.

I don't think so. Although it would have been good.

[Reply #306 on:]

Err....is it da ja vous? Or did you just post the same message twice?

[Reply #307 on:]

Does anyone have any confirmation on if this season release will be encoded for both regions 2 and 4 like previous ones?

This would be great if it was since it tends to be about $A10 cheaper and about 4 months sooner.

[Reply #308 on:]

No confirmation that i know of, but i don't see why they'd change the way they're regioning their DVDs. Amazon has it listed as S2, but they have that for all the Futurama boxsets.

And if there was a whole extras DVD we'd know about it (I think) from Futufan by know.

[Reply #309 on:]

Now this is an easter egg I can easily be excited about :

Show spoiler

A Star Trek panel discussion in connection with the episode "Where No Fan Has Gone Before".

Although the other easter egg sounds awesome too.

Show spoiler

What with a TDHAIP tabel read and all? Imagine hearing them sing Leela, Orphan Of The Star without musical backup. The The Elves Are Back To Work Today song in ATOTS was great fun to hear. 

[Reply #310 on:]

arn't all the R2 DVD's PAL? therefor dont they all work on Australian players?

just a thought.


-Glenn

[Reply #311 on:]

All the DVDs have so far been R2/4, so they work in Australia too. Amazon.co.uk only lists them as R2, probably because they are UK products.

[Reply #312 on:]

And PAL is the encoding used by Europe, Oz, and South Africa if I remember rightly.

[Reply #313 on:]

i dont think it's so much that they're R2/4 but that they'r PAL.

i think if you look at the box it says R2 (i dont have it anywhere near me)...it's pretty much the same as PS2 games.

When will they air in Germany??
(I'm from Austria and I don't have cable, also German Futurama sucks)

[Reply #315 on:]

Vol. 4 (and 3) can't come out soon enough in the good ol' USA.   

[Reply #316 on:]

Preordered S4 from Amazon, came to a total of £27.40, that's being sent to Australia btw, with regular Air Mail.

Nope.  The region encoded on the disc must match your player's region or it won't even try to play the disc.

BTW, my preorder through amazon.uk came to just under GBP27.00, including air mail delivery to Mark Twain country.  If their record of outstanding service holds, I sure won't be watching some idiotic football game this Thanksgiving Day.  (How wonderfully ironic:  football prempted for Futurama, even if it's just on my TV!)

Doesn't really tell you anything new except that fox is still working on the box art.

[Reply #319 on:]

I hope the fact they're still working on the box art means they're going all out with it, and it's gonna rule
