I was shocked at how quickly they got this DVD out and you guys are right: There SHOULD have been more stuff added to it. The River Tam Sessions would've been awesome, as well as an extended gag reel.

of course they'll do the '3CD ulimate edition'. However what matters is Firefly. I like Serenity but give me FIrefly every time

I am getting sick of the studios releasing a "special edition" of a film when it's the only version avalable and then relaesing a "extended edition" 6 months later. I'm getting quite annoyed with this (thanks Peter Jackson) but like a complete sap I would so buy an "extened edition" of Serenity. It just feels like they are just toying with us. It seems like they know when they release he "special edition" that they will release the "extened edition". I wish they would just give me the choice right off the bat or ideally give me a disc that has both verisons in it. I will still stand up and be counted in the group that wants more.

In most cases, they do know in advance, and usually are very public about a second edition coming. The Lord of The Ring DVD's all came with a little flyer and coupon for the extended edition, so it wasn't too much of a surprise if you looked.

Sin City, as a more recent example, was another one where they said up-front that the initial release would be followed up by an extended edition.

I think it makes perfect business sense for studios to release multiple versions of films on dvd. There are many people who only care about the film as they saw it in the theater (or would have seen it if they went to the theater anymore), but they also know there are enough people who want the extras for it to be profitable to do both. I think it is the same reason they continue to produce full screen and widescreen versions of the same films. The fact that there are still people stupid enough to buy full screen is best left to another discussion.

Check out the latest on the Australian Version of Serenity. There are exclusive extras and a tin cover for the first 6000 if bought from this retailer. Very shiny indeed!!!
