Friday, I went into Circuit City and they had tons of them. It made me sad to see so many. When they cashier was ringing up Serenity, she said I was lucky. They sold out yesterday and the truck just came today.
Whoo-hoo!

Checked two Blockbusters today...all rented out. First Blockbuster 1 shelf empty. 2 for sale.
Second Blockbuster 3 shelves (12 copies) empty 1 for sale. And while I was there, the trailer for Serenity played
. I asked them to check and see if any Serenity had been returned and none had. NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
I was waiting at Walmart at Midnight to get Serenity right away. I made the guy open all the boxes to find it--then all they had was Full Screen, so he had to go to the back room to find the REAL version. He brought it out and I thanked him whole-heartedly. He seemed a bit confused by my zeal to buy this movie 2 minutes after it became available for purchse, and finally he said, "I'm never actually heard of this movie."
I smiled and said, "Oh, you'll be hearing a lot about it now, a lot."
Okay, enough talk, I need to go watch it again :)

Oh yea, and I was at Blockbuster tonight and they had 3 shelves of Serenity (which I thought was pretty good) and they were all rented (which I thought was very good).

I bought mine at Best Buy the day it came out. They seemed to be selling good. I noticed Firefly was no where to be found. I had seen it in that store before, but they had no copies of it this time.
The one thing that bothered me was on the Serenity DVD, there was a sticker saying you get $10 off if you buy GB as well. But on the BG DVDs, there was no sticker saying you get the same deal when buying Serenity! We're loosing a little advertising there don't ya think?!

Everyone keeps saying, Fullscreen, who buys those anymore? I do! I don't have a bigscreen TV so I bought the Full Screen version for now and I bought a Widescreen version for when I can afford a decent big screen TV. I figure in another 6 months to a year the prices on the 48" to 52" screens will come down to a reasonable level for someone in my income bracket. Still haven't decided whether I should go LCD or Plasma. Hear that both have their drawbacks. Anyone here care to comment on that. Which do you think is best? BTW, widescreen IS the better format but on my 27" TV with these old eyes it just gets too hard to see all the details. Maybe if I hit the lottery soon I can buy a big screen earlier and move to a state with a higher Browncoat population. Not many Browncoats here in Indiana it seems. Met a few but not that many. Merry Christmas all!

BAH! I watch 16:9 on my 20" Computer monitor all the time...its the only way to watch movies, Pan&Scam is the worst consumer product ever invented (besides Bose and Monster cables)...anyways, Don't go plasma...for the same amount of money you can get a much better quality LCD/DLP/LCOS set...Plasma just isn't here yet. The sets only last a few years and then they're pretty much useless. They become so dim that you can't even watch them. Now with LCD/DLP/LCOS, you can just replace the bulb and be back on your way.
We just got a Panasonic PT-AE900U LCD Projector and I've been watching Firefly at 130" ;)Makes movie-time a lot more fun...and the projector was only $2k! Dirt cheap for what you get...anyways, stay away from Plasma...its truly not worth it

"..it is my very favorite gun."
Yea I saw it too...gave me a happy...until I noticed that Serenity's display case was in only one of the cashier's line. :( I hope they had it out in the open for a while...
