My copy came this morning! The cover art is very nice. There is an Easter Egg and each of the 4 episodes features a short intro by Matt and David voicing over a video clip of various scenes from the episode. The disc intro has them as well as Claudia Katz, Rich Moore, John DiMaggio and Billy West. Billy and John go into character as Bender and the Professor. No Katey sadly. There is a full commentary for the "Hell is other Robots" animatic. Pictures as follows, unfortunately I don't have a scanner: DVD caseThe DiscDVD menuSome of the artwork for the submenus is cool tooIf you want to know what the Easter Egg is: Its a picture of Al Gore reading his lines with the audio clip: "I'm a tenth level vice president!" Spoilers ahead! Picture

I've not been checking this thread, and I doubt I'll buy this DVD, but very nice artwork all the same!...

Are all the commentaries new? or just the one on the animatic?

Thinking about it, if this new DVD is a test from Fox. I may buy it just to push sales up and support the shows future possibilities...

I bought the new Futurama Monster Robot Maniac Fun Collection today, not bad, bit disapointed though.
The main introduction lasts about 2 minutes with a further 30 - 40 second intro on each of the 4 episodes. The main extra is very entertaining, the animatic with commentary for episode Hell is Other Robots. I was dissapointed that the other 3 episodes have no commentaries, I was hoping for new commentaries, fresh from the ones on the old DVD releases. Nevertheless the commentary on here is one of the funniest out of all Futurama Commentaries. Not a great compilation, but what can you expect for £9.99 - I think David X Cohen sums the DVD up on the main introduction when he mocks how hard they worked to make this set. A few funny moments for the diehard fans, and perhaps a good starting point for the new casual viewer.
Pretty decent: 6/10

Amazing, a boxset of 22 episodes for just £4 more than a compilation of merely 4 episodes...

1. Space Pilot 3000 2. AOI1 3. Roswell... 4. The Why Of Fry
Is the only reason they chose HIOR because the Robot Devil is in it?

I think I'd go with the same episodes, but I considered a change on AOI1, since I also liked WMIBaCiL and HHRHGB in Season 2, but AOI1 is a great choice all the less.
Luckily, my school starts on August 25, two days before the DVD's USA release. I'll be trying to get it before school, hopefully.
