I just ordered 3 more boxsets and 3 movies...
We're at 4/15 for the movie/boxset
As 1 & 3 are 2 versions of the same movie, I hearby claim spot number 3 in the name of the Independence (but don't let any other movies get combined the same way please 
)!
Hmm... Wonder how far down the list the fullscreen version of Serenity is cause it aint in the top 100.

Whats with all of the Star Wars Bashing? As A NEW Firefly Fan (just dicovered the DVD Series, I do not watch much tv) I am a little supprised at this. Ignoring the merit of Ep 3 itself, star wars is an extremely popular franchise. People buy it to complete thier collection. Most Star Wars fans are not "Lemmings" but are in fact just like you... Fans Who had to Wait A LONG TIME for the completion of one of their favorite Series.
Only the half mad are wholly alive!

Cool, still flyin' at #4 at this moment :) Firefly's at #17.
Interestingly, Firefly's in the top 100 on amazon.co.uk (at #99), which I think's pretty impressive. Considering I'm sure many people bought Firefly with Serenity from amazon.com, hopefully Firefly'll be moving up the table soon :)
For all those who don't know, Serenity Region 2 is now available for preorder on amazon.co.uk :D Let's get it into the top 100!

Amazon. search on Serenity and scroll down the list to the bottom. It's there. Same prices.
Or click the "Buy Serenity" link on the upper left of the home page for this site and then click the "Serenity (Widescreen Edition)" link you see on Amazon. Scroll down to "other Languages & Versions)
I been trying to convince my mom that widescreen is better than full screen. She thinks she's getting ripped off cause part of the screen is black...
Their old TV (with tubes!
) finaly died after 20 years so we got her a widescreen TV to replace it a few months ago and she doesn't argue about it anymore.It's just that very few full screen version are being sold cause fans know even the original TV series was shot in widescreen. I'd guess, it's mostly people like my mom who are really bothered by the black bars on screen or who simply don't know the series history that are buying the fullscreen version.

Well I just ordered my UK version of Serenity.
In regards to the Star Wars bashing. If I had to wait 20 odd years for the completion of the set and saw 'Sith' I would be mighty disappointed, which I was. It was hard not to fall asleep during it. I just wish that Lucas hadn't been so artsy fartsy to give the original (brilliant) movies numbers like Episode IV and V and VI. If he hadn't done that Samuel L Jackson wouldn't have add to play such a one dimensional character and get killed off so poorly. All I can say is 'Who could have done this?'
Either that or I am just getting old and jaded, then again Serenity made me feel the same way I did when I saw my first Star Wars movie in a theatre 25 odd years ago. Marvelous.

i actually thought episode 3 is on par with the original trilogy. yeah, it had some boring parts, but so did episode 4, which people never seem to admit.

I just noticed that we're one of only four movie in the top 100 that are preorders... And we're in the top five [#4 thank you very much 
].
They are [in order of appearance]:
1. Serenity [Widescreen]
2. BSG Season 2.0
3. Wedding Crashers Uncorked
4. The Shield Season Three [?]
Everything else has been out for a while and we're toping them all in most orders. That a true testament to use. In the top five of orders out of 100 and we're there in all preorders? Thats Fantastic.

MtnScott, I strongly suspect that at least 99% of Firefly fans are Star Wars fans. None of us is dissing Star Wars, per se. Yes, there's some good natured (e.g. Quietude & Andre83's thoughts on kids) bashing of the prequels, but in the context of loving the originals, and feeling "somewhat" let down by the prequels.
True fans tend to buy DVDs the first release week, 'cause... well, we're Fans. A more pragmatic reason is that DVDs are generally discounted somewhat their first week, and it can take months (even years) before the regular price comes down to the first week price. Granted, some Fans (particularly financially limited ones) do hold off on holiday releases, in hopes that relatives will give them something they really want (one of my friends is "not allowed" to buy any DVDs in December - he's making an exception for Serenity).
Given those data points, I feel it's reasonable to surmise that most of the current "Revenge of the Sith" purchases are last minute holiday gift purchases. It's those folks whom I classify as "lemmings".
The most compelling data point that the lemmings are hard at work, is that the full screen version of "March of the Penguins" is selling so well. Fans don't buy full screen. I rest my case.
From a practical point of view, Serenity being at #4 might attract the attention of the lemmings. I don't care who buys our BDM, just buy it. Go lemmings go!
Not to diss non-humanoid lemmings, in any way, 'cause I'm a rodentia-phile, and despite their racing stripe impairedness, they're a vital part of sub-arctic ecology - humanoid lemmings, not-so-much.
