I'm not finding any release date for the Futurama DVD in the US. Can someone enlighten me as to when or point me to where I should look?

To find the release look to the east. Do you see Maryland? It's not there. Look farther east. Now farther east. Are you over the Atlantic yet? Now go farther east. You should be in Spain by now. Now go into the Suncoast Video in Portugal. You should be able to find the Futurama episodes there. They will be in PAL format.

The U.S. version of Futurama will be released just as soon as Fox stops holding a grudge against Matt Groening.

Almost all US DVD players can handle PAL format. It's the region 2 encoding that's the problem.

And only a small problem. There are many affordable DVD players that allow you to change the region. Check www.vcdhelp.com for information on what "special" abilities DVD players have.

Still a pain; I don't like to have to resort to undocumented tricks to play something I legitmately own.

Agreed. At least you can bypass their BS and get them to play.

Of course, someone *could* copy the PAL files to their harddrive, de-encrypt them, convert to NTSC and post them. For that matter they could even burn DVDRs. But, that would be wrong!

I wonder if they were hinting at something

There sure are. But you can do so much wrong nonetheless. ;)
