Since the release of Serenity is only 1 week and 2 days away and just 5 days before X-mas, how many copies will you buy?

DVDs make great gifts for the holidays and the 1st week that the movie is out it will only be $15. I am really hoping that fans who can afford it will buy them as gifts to help boost DVD sales.

Personally, I will buy 3, 1 for myself and 2 as gifts for people who have not seen it yet. How many copies will you buy? By my estimates, we need to sell at least 4 million copies.

When will we know how many have been sold? Do you think Joss will tell us the beginning of 2006.

sadly, I'm really cheap. Considering I'm a teenager, and the fact I have no job, I'm getting a copy for Christmas.

I've been dropping subtle hints, such as "get me Serenity for Christmas," and "You know Serenity? The DVD comes out DECEMBER 20th!!!"

Hopefully I will convert a friend soon (she likes Firefly, but has only seen part of the pilot) and her b-day is in February, so... I could get her the DVD then.

The way it breaks down for me is totally bizzarre.

I know that I'm getting one for my girlfriend's mom. My dad is getting one for me and one for my girlfriend. My girlfriend is getting one for her old room mate (who loves sci-fi but hasn't seen the movie or Firefly...we're sure she'll love it). And then my brother is getting one for himself.

Yeah, I noticed that the SRP is around $30. I'm not afraid to spend money thing on anything Firefly/Serenity related, but isn't that a little high?

I have 8 on preorder... one for me, one for my daughter, one for my Mom, and 5 for each of my brothers as Christmas presents.

Then right after Christmas, I'm ordering 3 "Firefly" DVD sets and 3 of the BDM. My library is getting a donation, and the two movie rental places close to me are getting the "Firefly" DVD's to hopefully draw in some new converts. Then an extra BDM and show DVD set ordered a little after that to put away, safe and sound, because I think I'm gonna wear my copies out quick!

Then I have birthdays and stuff all throughout the year and I'm gonna buy... you guessed it, "Serenity". Fortunately most of the folks I'll be buying for like scifi and I know they will LOVE our crew. I'm sure of it.
