It's not long now - just a week and a half - until Fox's release of
Futurama - Bender's Game on
DVD and
Blu-ray Disc. This is the third of four direct-to-video productions of the popular animated series, and fans are already looking forward to the fourth and final feature-length story featuring Fry, Leela, Bender and the rest of the gang at Planet Express. Each feature will air on television, broken up into half-hour episodes, at some point after their video release.
Now we've got the scoop on the release date for that final release! We've learned from a reliable industry source, who requested to remain anonymous, that
Futurama - Into the Wild Green Yonder will be available on both DVD and Blu-ray Disc beginning
February 24th. The source also informs us that this will run 88 minutes long, and will be chock-full of bonus material, just like the other three direct-to-video releases. Cost is expected to be the same as the pricing on
Bender's Game: $29.99 SRP for the DVD, and $39.98 SRP for the high-definition Blu-ray Disc version.
Keep in mind that this is early info, and could be subject to change (but we don't anticipate that it will). No details are available yet on that bonus material, nor do we have package art yet. But stay tuned and we'll keep you updated as soon as we can!
