What the flip flop is the difference between the two versions?

That site is a total crock. I doubt the validity of the magazines based on that the site looks like it was thrown up in a day, is sprinkled with irrelevant Firefly items, and has no SSL. Basically means any order you make on the site is guaranteed to NOT be secure.

That site is not a crock or a scam as far as I know. The guy that owns the shop is a Browncoat and sells many things we Browncoats like. He/she has been advertising here and on the official Serenity Board for quite some time and many people haven't had a problem with it.

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

My mistake then. However he should validate his site and protect his customers by setting up SSL. Seems very shady and unsafe not to have it.

To reiterate the unanswered question, what's the difference between the Newsstand and Preview versions?

The difference is that the preview version everyone's been paying big bucks for -- and in general losing their minds to see -- is not the same movie as will be released in theatres on or about September of 2005. Hence, there are two versions of the magazine. Different endings and plot twists.

Film makers routinely shoot 'alternative endings' and scenes for their movies. Check your DVD collections for 'Bonus Materials'. Some may cry foul when the movie comes out, having spent some time and money to be misled thus; but, it's fair game, since the preview screenings have all come with the caveat that it's an unfinished movie. That some have interpreted this to mean that only score, SFX and color timings need finishing is their fault, not the studio's or Joss'.

The beauty part is that this makes all the spoilers and speculation moot. Ultimately, no one but Joss (and possibly the studio) knows exactly what's going to transpire by the movie's end. He's hoodwinking us for our own sake.

Of course, I could be totally wrong. But, I've got a sneaking suspicion, made stronger by this 'two magazines' evidence. I believe most of the movie will remain the same in its final release version, with the exception of one or two scenes (*lays finger alongside nose and winks at the wise*)...

Speculatively,

zoid

P.S.
Yes, Joss has said the film is 'locked'; but he hasn't said the previews are of the locked version of the movie.

P.P.S.
I further predict that someone will very soon claim this idea as their own and spread it to other websites thus. Can't stop the signal, baby.

Ordering from the UK is problematic.

The difference is the cover. They do the same thing for the Buffy and Angel magazines. There is a newsstand cover and a comic shop cover. The comic shop is only available through Diamond Comic's Previews Catalog.

It has nothing to do with the preview screenings.

The Blue Sun room has pictures of the 2 covers:
