Glad to see that everything is improving.

Does anyone know when we can write a review for the movie? I am dying to write one but I cant find one of those stupid buttons.

Anyone know the number of DVDs sold? At Amazon or in total, either way.

Nope - we don't. Seems to be some big fat secret.(Royalties, trade secrets, who knows what.)

Over a year ago now, the figure 300,000 units was cited in some sources. But let's face it, that was a long, long, time ago now.

It's the really big unanswered question.

Interesting, the reason I want to know is I still have the insane idea in my head that we could fund the series. $2,000,000 an episode right? So $4,000,000 for two episodes, two one hour episodes are like one two hour movie, in theory, so you might be able to sell them on DVD for the cost of a movie, $20 to $30.

$20 a DVD by 300,000 is $6,000,000. I would guess, though I have absolutely no way to know, that that would be enough for the two episodes.

Quick update:

Firefly is now #26 on the sales chart. We simply won't go away will we. Who would have imagined after a year and half that the DVDs would be selling so well. I think we might have a chance at beating out Family Guy which to this date has beaten out every other TV show in DVD sales. We have done the impossible before.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

The Firefly DVD Set now $29.99 (was $34.99) at Amazon.com, and it's not some sort of clearance, they're having a sale on their top-selling DVDs!

Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

Thanks for the tip. I've already given sets to seven of my friends but, @this price, I'm thinkin' it might be a good idea to order another.

When I heard about the sale price on Amazon, I told some of my recent converts about it. At least 1 bought the DVD set within minutes of being told to look on Amazon. Maybe more will follow?
