WOO! http://tvshowsondvd.com/news/Futurama-Volume-5/14507After 4 seasons on the Fox Network, Futurama was officially canceled in 2003, but it proved to be too popular and simply refused to go away. The 20th Century Fox studio and show creators Matt Groening (The Simpsons) and David X. Cohen initially brought the series back in 2007-2009 as a group of 4 direct-to-video films (Bender's Big Score, The Beast with a Billion Backs, Bender's Game and Into the Wild Green Yonder). These were all later broken up into 4 parts each, and those 16 "episodes" were aired on Comedy Central as a "5th Season" for the show. This proved rather popular, and in addition Groening expressed publicly a desire to continue the franchise. So the studio and the cable channel worked out a deal for a 6th Season (with the original voice cast) to begin airing on Comedy Central, starting this past June 24th. 13 Episodes will have aired by Thanksgiving Day in the USA. This morning Fox Home Entertainment has announced to retailers that on December 21st, just days before Christmas, they will release those 13 episodes as 2-disc sets titled "Futurama - Volume 5" on both DVD and high-def Blu-ray Disc formats. Bonus Material on both versions (may not be finalized, and could be subject to change) will be Audio Commentary, Deleted and Extended Scenes, "Bend it Like Bender", "Previously On…", "Fry's Crudely-Drawn Comic Book - The Crudely Animated Edition", "Behind the Fungus: Makin' a Hit Song", "The Prisoner of Benda" Table Read, "Fry's Crudely Drawn Comic Book Alternate Design" and a Bender Audio Outtake. Episodes are presented in widescreen video (in high definition on the Blu-ray version), with audio in English (in 5.1 Dolby Digital on the DVD, and in 5.1 DTS HD Master Audio on the BD version). There's also an option on each version for audio in Spanish Dolby Surround, plus subtitles in English, Spanish and French. Cost is $39.98 SRP (CA$54.98 SRP in Canada) for the DVD set, and $49.99 SRP (CA$69.99 SRP in Canada) for the Blu-ray Disc version. Package art, featuring Bender chomping a cigar, is the same on both formats as you'll see below. Check it out: Taken from: http://tvshowsondvd.com/news/Futurama-Volume-5/14507#ixzz11bOMPga6

The Blu-Ray set is on preorder at Amazon.com for $34,99: http://amzn.to/awp1oG...that's $15 less than the retail price. The DVD set could be priced for $24,99... still somewhat expensive for only 2 discs.. but.. it is... Futurama!!!

Someone posted this deal in the forums DVDtalk.com I jumped on it and I thought I'd share it with all the true Futurama Fans on here. You can get the Volume 5 blu-ray for $19.49 shipped or the DVD for $14.99 from FoxConnect.com (Fox's DVD/BD online storefront). When you add either one to your cart, it currently deducts an additional $3.00 off the current pre-order prices of 24.99 (Blu) and 19.99 (DVD). Add the discount code QC12YT9EA in the Shopping Cart's coupon box for an additional 10% off; UPS Ground shipping is free no matter how you checkout -- but UPS 2nd Day shipping is free IF you checkout using Google Checkout. End result: $19.49 shipped for the Blu-ray and $14.99 shipped for the DVD. Happy shopping and long live Futurama

[edit: shortened the title] For those that don't read CGEF or follow the tweets (shame on you): There is a give-away at CGEF with 10 sets sponsored by FOX.
