We should all rejoice that there will likely be multiple versions of the DVD sold in the future. Think about it: if we're willing to demonstrate that we'll spend money to support the francise, there will be more support among the media moguls to make more movies or even bring back the series. (Read my post under "$2.00s could have saved Firefly"). Star Trek limped along for several years because the fans watched the cartoon version, ate up the reruns, and bought the books. And then BOOM! Movies, multiple t.v. series, video games, mass market galore! But none of that would have been possible if Trekkies had just folded & said "Well it was a good show...oh, look at the kitty!" We may only be keeping the dream alive for another generation, but I remember going to see the first Trek movie with my dad & him blathering on about this great t.v. show he used to watch. Since my kids are already dedicated Browncoats, I aim to bug my grandkids with my Reminisces!
Money talks; make them listen!

Everybody needs to chill out about the DVD price. $29.99 is the MSRP for basically every DVD movie, but almost every retailer sells it for much less. You'd be hard-pressed to find it at that price anywhere.
Oh, and it's a good idea to preorder from Walmart. My fiance preordered Star Wars Episode III from them and we received it a day early. :)

My wife bought SW III yesterday and we sat down to watch it last night. Realized what a piece of le-se it was, took out the dvd & started watching Firefly. (As a side note, how could the Jedi NOT realize Anakin was sliding to the Dark Side? How many other Jedi wore black leather?)

They were all distracted by Aayla Secura's leather pants and halter top.

Thought the same thing too. I was dragged to Serenity-loved it and watched all of Firefly a few weeks ago. Walmart with it's big smiley face sure fits. It would make a good plot line for the second movie.

LOL! Yeah, my first thought too!
The way-cool Aussie poster is high up on my list of reasons why Australia rocks.
I figure when we get our sequel (which we will get!), Universal'll have had a few years of earnings, and have learned somethin'.
Recently, while checking boxofficemojo, I noticed a link to Serenity's status as #29 for "Action Heroine", clicked on it, and was elated to see that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's "wide" opening weekend earned "only" $8,647,295, compared to its final gross of $128,078,872. That might be a good model to cheer folks up! http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=crouchingtigerhiddendragon.htm
Here's a list of "Slowest to $100 and $200 Million":

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon sold 2.5 mil copies in US according to box office mojo.

A bunch of people made the point before, but it's an important one. $30 is how much it'll cost at places like Borders and Sam Goody. If you go to Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, or even more localized places with good prices (in Wisconsin, The Exclusive Company), you should be able to get it for at least $10 less.
We shall rule over this land, and we shall call it... This Land.
