I'm not saying there won't be a special edition (in point of fact, that's exactly what I'm saying). What I am saying is that there won't be a special "Browncoat Edition".

I would've figured they would mention Adam being in Independance Day over an MIB cartoon and TV movie.

In the Press release, what does the

SRP mean after the Price mean.

Also Pre-Order Close: November 15, 2005

What does that mean?

Does that mean a person cannot pre-order
after November 16, 2005 and has to wait for Dec.
20th?

Or is that Pre-Ordering for stores only?

What purpose does the Pre-Order Close
serve?

Does it have something to do with figuring
out how many Dvds -Widescreen/Dvds-Full Screen/ or VHS-Full Screen to manufacture?

Yup, Feb 8 it is. Universal have confirmed on the SerenityOz site: http://serenitymovie.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=1705

SRP is the suggested retail price. It actually sells for $20.99 on Amazon.

Feb 8th DVD release for Australia! Pfft.. Thats too gorram long to wait. Why the hell couldnt they have a world wide release? Well.. I suppose we did get to see the official theatre release of Serenity a full 36hrs before you Americans so it just may be poetic justice..

Still..

Universal have said we Australians will get a "special release" cause we are mighty. Specifically they say.. Here at Universal Pictures Australia we are very excited to be planning the DVD release of Serenity, which is scheduled for February 8, 2006. The Australian version of the DVD will be unique from other countries, in that it will feature some additional pieces of bonus content that will not appear on the US version. We are in the process of finalising the extra content and we will let you know exactly what you will find on the Australian DVD shortly. We are also looking at creative options for some special packaging and we will also update you on this in the near future. Rest assured though that we will be delivering a unique DVD for this market!

Sounds Shiny! I may have to order in a US version and buy a Australian version when it is released.

Set in a post-apocalyptic universe, Serenity finds
Captain Malcolm “Mal“ Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) and the crew
of the rebel spaceship Serenity taking on both the all-
powerful Universal Alliance and the murderous Reavers --
cannibalistic savages living on the outskirts of
civilization -- as they fight to protect a beautiful young
fugitive with a deadly secret.


Post-apocalyptic may not be entirely inaccurate, but it has little relevance to Firefly/Serenity, not enough to take up space in so short a blurb. Secondly, Serenity ain't a rebel ship--she's a transport ship (sometimes a smuggler), and in any case, the war's over. As for taking on both the Alliance and the Reavers.. well, that's the part of the blurb I wish wasn't so accurate and relevant. Sigh.

New packaging! Maybe because the US DVD art is horrible. New bonus content! Probably just the trailers but hey I don't care. I hope the UK gets this version too, possible since we don't have a confirmed date yet.

Except that it takes place in one solar system. Hardly what I'd call galaxy-wide.
