Yes! A Virgin MegaStore! I want Virgin MegaStores here. I got the info on my exact hotel. It's one block off Oxford Street at around Regents Street. It's a different one from last time, which was on Great Russell Street.

I think there are a few in the US. One in NYC, LA, DC, Chicago, SF probably - the big cities. I live in a city of 150,000 in central northwest North Carolina (an area called the Triad if anyone cares). We don't have a Virgin MegaStore. Hell, I've never heard of Virgin Cola! Pepsico was started just about a hundred miles from here, and Coca-Cola was started about a 5 hour drive away in Atlanta. I'm in the heart of American cola country. I do know of Virgin Airlines - I almost talked my parents into using them to get us to London. Instead, we chose to fly Envoy (Business) Class on USAirways, a direct flight from Charlotte to Gatwick. Exactly the same flights as last time. Different class, different aircraft (I hope - our other one had a broken emergency door so they had to fly a spare in from Philadelphia), but same flight numbers. It came down to that or British Airways through either Dulles or BWI (I don't remember which), but USAirways gave us nearly free tickets - we had a lot of frequent flier miles, so the choice was clear.
What's "a one-off"?

Originally posted by SQFreak: What's "a one-off"? Heh. Guess Americans don't have (or need ) that phrase. A "one-off" is where you've got an exception, rather than a rule. For example, if the only Megastore was in NY and nowhere else in the US, that would a one-off - i.e. the only one. By the way, that trailer finally resolves the box-art question - I guess Fry will be on the spine, and the episode list (presumably, it's not shown) will be on the opposite side to him.

And if I order it, I'll end up paying that 25% in shipping. (And if you're thinking, "But what about VAT if you buy it over there?", VAT refunds are available for people from outside the EU.)

Assuming FOX bother to air the remaining episodes during summer, and not make a McSeason 6 out of them.

Isn't Northern Carolina outside the EU? Yes, that's precisely my point. So I don't have to pay VAT. But Amazon makes me pay it anyway. Or at least they did last time. And then charged about 10 pounds in shipping. And it's North Carolina. In the trailer, it's interesting that they said, " Complete your collection today!" Makes me think there never will be a Season 4 DVD...

Yes, but that doesn't mean they have to release it. So they lose a few thousand dollars they paid the people to come in and record the commentaries. FOX would do it to screw Futurama.

The play-all option is a good thing. 92 minuyes of solid Futurama goodness on each disc.
Some more wrong info from Amazon:
"A Tale of Two Santas", with John Goodman reprising his evil robot" (Uhh no, John DiMaggio did that)
"'Anthology Of Interest - Part 3'" (Sadly, it's AOI II, will (probably) never see an AOI III)
Kif: "Who're you talking to sir?"

Well, I found that the nearest Virgin MegaStore to my hotel in London is the Picadilly Circus location. But, if I don't get it there, I can always get it at the Virgin MegaStore in Exeter.
