You always notice these things too late don't you. It's very frustrating.

Mind you, £30 for Seaon 5 is tempting - that's quite a low price considering how new it is.

I've heard that one of the episodes on the DVD has been cut short though? Apparently the intro to the episode after the one where it ends with the combined Narn fleet attacks Centauri...is that true?

Kinda puts a downer on the whole thing for me...
Sorry if this is a bit off-topic by the way.

Did I say season 5? Doh! I meant season 4. I hadn't heard about the cut to The Fall of Centauri Prime. Thats really frustrating.

And Firefly is currently ranked there at 27! Pretty impressive for something that's been out for so long. Yet further proof of the idiocy of Fox execs.

How are the region 1 and 2 packaged differently? I'm just curious because i need to buy another set to get autographed at the Serenity con as my original set looks worn. I have the region 1 set but it would be cheaper for me to get the region 2 now that they're at such a low price at the moment.

For my mind, the region1 box set is prettier the 4 DVD`have their own seperate slimline boxes with a different sleeve/artwork - packagd in a bigger cardboard box

the Region2 box set has a fat DVD box which contains a hinged section and contains the 4 disks that way. It does contain a booklet and the `people` art `zoe` `book` etc. appear on the disks (a variation the ones that appeared on the sleeves of the american version).

So, you could buy the region 2 version for the booklet (much the same info as region 1 but in one place) & get the disks signed or buy another region1 and get the individual DVD`s/cases signed - so it`ll be pretty much up to yourself - I don`t think you can go wrong

btw: just picked up a region 1 boxed set with Nathan, Adam & Jewel`s signatures for aprox £40 including shipping from the US! (Now that is a great deal!) It means that I can get the others to sign it too or alternatively bring something else to get signed for my personal item.

This may be considered sacrilidge but I burned two copies of my Region 1 Set that way I'm not dishing out $34 per set (yes, in my local bookstore they are that much) because I just can't afford it. The original box set sits all pretty like on my shelf with it's shrink wrap on (the perks of having friends who work at the movie store). One set to loan out, and one to watch and get as scratched and messy as possible. I may consider retiring the third set to loaners as the BDM gets closer and purchasing a Region 2 (DVD player plays both 1 and two) since the video quality is better.

That's what the manufacturers should've done. Build the DVD players Region 2 and slowly convert us to high quality viewing.

I assume that "£" means GBP, I don't even know what the other pounds are, what is the current conversion rate to US dollars?

Used to be different, didn't it? How much has the US dollar dropped in the last 4 years?

Doesn't matter if you don't know, just a curiosity.

How do I find out what regions my DVD player can handle?
