The Futurama Season 2 DVDs will be released in Germany first (November 7th 2002). These discs include English and Spanish sound which makes them desirable for importing in case you have a Region 2 (Europe) or region-free ('fixed') DVD player (look at vcdhelp on how to 'hack' lots of players for region 2) and a PAL capable TV (some DVD players can convert the PAL to NTSC).
We expect the menus to be available in English like they were in the first DVD set.
Problem is: amazon.de is German. So here is a step by step guide on how to (pre-)order them:
You'll see a little picture of the Season 2 Box to the left and lots of german all around. The price is what's written in red at the top right corner. Depending on whether the set is already available or has to be preordered, there will be either "Jetzt Vorbestellen" or "Einkaufswagen" on a button to the top right. Click that. (*Not* the "Auf meinen Wunschzettel"!)
Next you see what's in your shopping cart at the left side border. This should include the Season 2 DVDs only with "Menge" next to the price being 1 (that's the amount, we can change it later on). Ignore everything to the right for now. At the top left, you see "Zur Kasse Gehen" (go to check out). Clicky clicky.
Now a series of pages will come up where amazon wants to get to know you better.
More stuff to enter:
Now you see the address where the DVDs are heading to at the top left and a short summary below that. The text box under "Anzahl" tells you how many DVD sets you are ordering. Change it if you want more than one. At the top right below the truck is a link to a list of shipping prices. Rule of thumb: Germany/Austria: Free; EU: EUR5; Rest of Europe: EUR12; Rest of World: EUR15.50, but further 16% off your order.
Now for payment and account setup. In case you already had an amazon account with a password, skip the next two points (7.1 / 7.2):
Depending on how things worked for your nation/order, you might now see a window asking where to send the affirmation letter. If that is the case, click the "Diese Rechnungsadresse verwenden" Button *at the top* if you want it to go to the address you entered before, or enter a new one just like in step 5 and use the "Diese Rechnungsadresse verwenden" button *at the bottom*.
If you mastered all the previous steps, you'll now see the final affirmation screen, telling you the total cost to the in red right under "Gesamtsumme". Depending on where you live, you might be able to select a shipping mode under "Versandoptionen". Click the "Bestellung abschicken" button to finish todays lesson.
