Quote:Possibly. If you look at Haken's Amazon sales tracker, "Firefly" got to the number one spot based solely on pre-orders, but by about six months after its release it had dropped into the 100s, where it remained until the Serenity trailer was released online in April 2005. That day, it shot from around 150 to 93, and by the next day it was in the 20s. From then on, it's almost never dropped below the 20s. With such a long period of high sales, it's possible "Firefly" has sold more copies due to the Serenity buzz than before the BDM talk started up.
Can't be sure but I'd guess that it has sold more copies because of Serenity than it did because of airing on Fox.

Noticed yesterday on one of Australia's biggest DVD retailer's sites:

Top Selling DVD Home
1. Firefly (Season 1) (Box Set)
2. Fantastic 4
3. Sin City
4. Batman Begins (Exclusive Slipcase)
5. Madagascar
6. Kill Bill Vol 1
7. Kill Bill Vol 2
8. Star Wars Episode 3
9. Da Kath & Kim Code
10. Little Britain (Series 2)
Which is pretty impressive considering we've only JUST had Firefly on in some areas here (graveyard shift mind you - our TV stations suck crusty bits) - not that my city had it *mumble* *mutter*

Sadly there is a high quality DVD rip already available for download. How did this happen? Is the DVD already out in another region?

It isn't that shiny in Germany I'm afraid. They released the Firefly Box just a few weeks ago (somewhere in November). One tv channel bought the rights to send it some time ago but obviously it's too risky for them to actually air it.
At Amazon Germany the box is listed at 168, the BDM DVD is not announced yet. I guess they will release it in summer 06 (it always takes that long here).

Cleaner, I don't think the rip is a bad thing. Personally, I got into firefly because i stumbled over the series on the net having never heard of it... watched the first 2 episodes, then was heartened to find that K-Mart here had it for $50 AU!! bought it in a shot :)
I really think this is one of those movies people will get for the extras as much as the movie itself too, the people involved are just too damned cool!

Me too I downloaded Serenity on the net and Firefly too. Now I'm a really big Fan and I'll buy the DVD's for sure, even if I have all the extras. I'll buy them to hope that there will be a sequel to the series if they got enough cash.

Seriously, best news I've heard all day. I mean, doing this good on pre-order! Way to go! I'll be one of those camped outside our Blockbuster the morning its released. I honestly can't wait for our impossibly slow mailman to drop it off. And did you all look at Firefly and Serenity's rating compared to the other hits? Come on, that's got to get some notice by picky movie/tv critics, too. The more sales, the better. I know what I'm giving for Christmas presents this year, that's for sure!

great news!
And I know that a lot of local stores that never carried 'Firefly' are going to carry 'Serenity'...
which I hope will lead to even MORE 'Firefly' sales down the road!
I'm sure our verse will keep on growing,
slowly but surely.

I still can't believe a film like *spit* Titanic can do so well, and yet one like Serenity did so poorly. There's no sodding justice in this world i tell you!
