So much for Play.com, hah?

Can anyone who preordered for the old price tell me if they updated it to the new price automatically?

I pre-ordered at the old price - it didn't update by the time I got there (maybe they update at the end of the day). Suffice it to say, I cancelled and re-ordered (through CGEF, of course ;) ) because presumably they can still charge you extra if you leave your possible credit deduction at the original value?

When the season 2 set came up for pre-order, I ordered it right away and got it with the big discount it was originally priced with. Later when the price was adjusted upwards my order didn't change, I still got the discount. This time it was the same (as CyberKnight mentioned).

I think you're stuck with the pricetag at the time you make your pre-order on Amazon. Not sure, but it seems likely.

Play.com have had it listed as a pre-order at

But that won't:

a) help CGEF
b) arrive as quickly as Amazon (and not at all to locations outside the UK - I think), because Play ship all items through 2nd Class (3-5 Business Days instead of 1-2). At least June 2nd is a Monday so we won't be affected by the weekend delay.

I preordered it the day it was listed and my price has been adjusted.

I just ordered the dvd set, and they charged 25.52 pounds (not including shipping) instead of the 29.99 pounds as advertised.

Non-EU citizens doesn't pay VAT.

Mine changed. Went down to

http://www.playserver4.com/play247.asp?page=delivery

Citizens of the U.S.--well, citizens of ANY country outside Europe--had better look at this before ordering from Play.com. That's "Jersey," not "New Jersey."

I was going to pre order it from play, but now i'll pre order it from amazon, does anyone know how long the DVD will stay at this price?

a) I wasn't aware ordering it through Amazon would help CGEF.
2) What are you a speed delivery nut? :-)

a) Yeah, it will - if you order through the links provided in the update.

b) Yep! ;)

a) Consider CGEF helped :-)

b) Patience my good man!

My season 3 order didn't update, i had to cancel and then re-order.

One a related matter (kinda)...
I'm trying to get a copy of Futurama comics #12, but the site I usually order my Futurama issues from (booksncomics.co.uk) isn't stocking it yet.
Can any other UK fans recommend another relyable site to order from?

i imported from cdwow.com for season 2 and i liked them also they have free worldwide shipping i live in u.s.a and it only took them 7 days to get it to me so i was happy with them season one and two was 29.99 pounds so i think that season 3 should be the same i can not wait till i get it

Does anyone have any idea how much high street retailers will be charging? Is it worth pre-ordering from Amazon or waiting till it's on the shelf to avoid p&p costs?

If the RRP is

Don't know whether this might benefit any fellow Americans here, but let me suggest purchasing from amazon.ca instead of amazon.com or amazon.uk. Consider this example:

If you purchased the first two seasons of "Red Dwarf" from amazon.ca, it would cost you $48 US (including $7.50 shipping - ouch!)

If you purchased the same items from amazon.com, it would cost you $53 (even with free shipping).

There are probably ways around the international shipping cost - for example, if you can have it shipped to a Canadian address (free Canadian shipping for orders over $39), and then have that person ship it to you in the USA.

This would take a few days more, but if your priority is savings, then going through Canada might be your best bet.

Futurama Season 3 is not out in Canada anytime soon.
For season 1, even with standard shipping, the set is 3 dollars more expensive from Canada than from the US. Some DVDs might be cheaper there, but it's not a general thing. Also, think of us here ;) We want to keep this site going for a bit longer still and amazon.ca isn't helping us.

can any1 email me the cover for the season 3 box set

Mikey, right now that's the closest you'll get to the cover art. (Thanks to James, #2 above.)

Hey, Amazon.co.uk has dropped the price again! It's down to

Dang it, the URL was too long. Here it is again, but broken up--you may have to copy and paste it a piece at a time. (Hope this works!)

Trying once more...

BrainSluggo, i've just checked and it still says

Nope. This is strange. I got an e-mail from Amazon UK informing me of the price change and immediately posted here AND e-mailed [-mArc-] about it; [-mArc-] notified me about the unchanged online price. I hadn't checked it before posting; I just assumed it was fixed.

However, I did check my Amazon account, and the price change is indeed in effect for my order. Keep watching the price/your account...

I just got an update from Amazon saying the price is $25.52 instead of $29.95 and that they have updated my order.
