There hasn't been an announcement about this, but does anyone else think that there might be a re-release of the boxed set of the series when the movie draws closer, or more ads in magazines or online?

I doubt it. I don't know if Joss gets any say in it or if it would be up to Fox. If it's up to Joss then I'd say no. He just doesn't seem to be the money grubbing George Lucas type. Not that I would mind spending more money on a new box set. Especially if it had new commentaries and extras.

I can see them re-releasing the DVD boxset and advertising it when Serenity is successful. They'd be stupid not to cash in. I don't think they'd make it significantly different, maybe new packaging.

Personally I wouldn't be tempted by new extra features. I think the extras on the current boxset are great but it's the episodes that matter.

I thought that Fox skimped on the extras. They really could have done a lot more.

Could you give us a for instance? With so few actual episodes I'm not sure there was all that much else to give us in terms of "extras."

I think the one DVD extra that could have been expanded was the blooper reel - the scene where Mal appears & re-appears & re-appears in the scene from the `Message` episode cracks me up everytime I see it - it looked like it had the same effect on the crew too

I think there could possible be more commentaries done too

maybe more behind the scenes stuff too - those are just my views.

I'd like a different cd case setup. Having four different cases is odd. I'd rather have a larger, nicer-looking, fold-out that could hold all the disks... like the LOTR extended case.

More commentaries? The set has 6 commentaries, including one spanning the whole of Serenity, which is more than almost all of the Buffy/Angel sets which ran for 22 episodes...

The extras that they had on the current set are very brief. The look into the ship is minimal, and there's only (IMO) one good documentary on the series. I felt that they could have covered things better.

I really hate cardboard DVD cases. They're not that durable. I prefer a plastic case because they keep the disc safer from dry and wet hazards. Futhermore, I like my coverart prestine.
