I wish they would put this more into perspective. I know that Amazon is a massive DVD seller, but what does being number one mean (other than the obvious). Has it sold 10,000? 20,000? I'm afraid we won't know, since the studio is pretty tight lipped about these things.
On another note, I was at Target tonight in Milwaukee, and they were down to their last four copies. Putting that in perspective, their Serenity selection consisted of 1 row, with 7 bays. Each bay contained 4 copies. Not bad considering it looked like it was outselling everything else they had.
"The last thing I want is that any of our descendents should look back in some years and despise us for not daring to act when we had so much capacity to act. We must dare to seek how, why and on what we agree. We shall thus be able to join together to look for alternative solutions and new ways of managing the world's challenges. Being diverse is our richness, acting together will be our strength". (Federico Mayor; 02-04-01;
UBUNTU Constituent Meeting).

Here's some perspective: My wife went to Best Buy (we live right outside baltimore, MD so it's a big store) and they had sold out of SERENITY. When she got to Target, there were only 3 copies left. This was for a co-worker. We, of course, bought ours on Tuesday.

What the hell are you talking about?
THIS right-wing Christian is glad to see Serenity & Firefly at #1 & #3, respectively (as of 12/23 12:00 AM EST). Frack the penguins. Go Firefly!

Zoe: "It only works on HER, Jayne"

The rankings from Amazon.com's top ten DVD sales, like the title of the thread.

YES!!!!!#3!!!!!!!!! This has got to be a big rutting red flag for Universal saying "make another one, and they will buy. Lots"
1 penguin down, 1 to go. Snipers?
And Firefly was cancelled 3 YEARS AGO! Yet, it's #3, beating out the 'hits' of the holiday season. Merry Christmas Browncoats, you big damn heroes, you.

Hell, yeah! I've heard so many reports of sold out stores, lines, and slow orders. Just tonight my wife and her friend (who we converted) went to get Serenity for her brother for Christmas. They got the next to last copy!! This has got to be doing something for the numbers--if nothing else, it has to be showing Universal the size of the audience...
Hold the valley, Browncoats! We can do this!

With so many copies sold in little Cheyenne, Wyoming, there has to be more than just browncoats buying. Maybe the fan campaign worked better than we thought. They just wanted to wait for the DVD?

OH WE WILL HOLD THE VALLEY! THE VALLEY WILL BE OURS!
I work at BOTH Best Buy and Blockbuster, i know it seems weird, but they dont mind lol, we are SOLD OUT at Blockbuster and have been rented out since Tuesday, and every time a copy comes is returned it gets checked out within 10 minutes (although we only got 13 copies at my blockbuster, because Universal hates us since we dont pay our bills) and at Best Buy as of yesterday we were sold out with a new shipment supposedly coming in on saturday, a shipment DOUBLE the size of what we put out Tuesday, so id say we are holding the valley pretty damn well right now, but i think we need to have a browncoats meeting...perhaps at ohhh say UNIVERSAL STUDIOS!
