Avenging Futurama

The last episode of Futurama to date, “Meanwhile” has aired and marked the third cancellation of the series.

The opening of the episode contains a simple message:

AVENGE US

Futurama Avenge Us

Can Futurama make its third comeback?

The fans can make it happen.

Futurama: “Meanwhile”

Here’s to the last episode of Futurama, “Meanwhile“.

Bender is definitely not amused.

This is a sad day for fans of a show that had been cancelled twice before.

I wish that company like Netflix would pick up the series.

What about starting a Kickstarter campaign to produce new Futurama season?

Amazon changed Chromecast-Netflix Promotion Cut-off Time

Amazon now says that customer who purchased Google Chromecast before 5:30 p.m. on July 25, 2013 are eligible for the Netflix Promotion.

Initially Amazon said:

Netflix Promotion No Longer Available
Please note that the Netflix promotional offer (which was available in limited supply) has now ended. Customers who ordered their Chromecast prior to 5:31 PM PST on July 24, 2013 will receive a Netflix gift code via email within 5 days of their product’s ship date.

Initially Amazon customers who purchased Google Chromecast after 5:31 p.m. on July 24, 2013 were told that they were not eligible for the Netflix Promotion. Disappointed Amazon customers were reportedly cancelled their orders citing that the Netflix Promotion influenced their decision in purchasing Google Chromecast.

Amazon is reportedly sending emails to customers who already cancelled their Chromecast orders that they qualified to receive the Netflix promotion.

Google Abruptly Ends Chromecast-Netflix Promo

UPDATE:

From Chromecast page at Google Play:

Please note that the Netflix promotional offer (which was available in limited supply) has now ended. Orders placed before 1PM PST on 7/25 will receive their promotion code once their order ships.

Does anyone remember what Google Play said before regarding the Netflix Promo? Did it say “limited”?

From Amazon.com:

Netflix Promotion No Longer Available
Please note that the Netflix promotional offer (which was available in limited supply) has now ended. Customers who ordered their Chromecast prior to 5:31 PM PST on July 24, 2013 will receive a Netflix gift code via email within 5 days of their product’s ship date.

Why do Amazon.com and Google have different cut-off time?

How many customers bought Chromecast because of the Netflix deal?
I certainly am one of them.

Another question regarding this shortlived Chromecast-Netflix promotion:
Is it Google who fronted all the bills for the promotion, Netflix or both?

My guess is that Google is the one paying Netflix for the Promotion and was surprised with the amount of orders. If only Google would release the sales figure of Chromecast from before and after the Netflix promo ended.

Los Angeles Times reports:

[Update 4:30 p.m. July 25: Google clarified that users who purchased Chromecast before the promotion ran out will still be able to redeem their Netflix promotion code for three free months of the video streaming service.]

Does that include all users who purchased Chromecast but were put on back-orders on Thursday July 24, 2013? Amazon was still taking orders on late Thursday and wouldn’t be shipping the unit to customers until later date.
