this sounds like a problem with amazon, not fox studios (who you can be sure want to sell as many copies of the dvd as possible. they likes the money, i'm sure)...

Keep Flying!

The BestBuy site is not taking inof for some reason, and the "customer disservice" line had me on indefinite hold.

Thank God for Canadians! Their website works and your USA amazon account works there too. You DO have to pay the shipping if you're shipping to the USA.

So BestBuy is sold out too?

I ordered mine earlier today from Bestbuy as a safety precaution. I can't imagine Fox not just stamping these out to meet demand. One thing to consider, most of the DVD sites aren't even listing Firefly yet nor Buffy Season 5. Also Amazon lists Buffy Season 5 as sold out too. Perhaps Fox is changing something to these sets?

northamericandvd usually has cheaper prices, especially if you're in the US, though they don't have Firefly listed yet. I didn't find any Canadian sites besides amazon.ca listing it either.

I pre-ordered from amazon, but am still hoping to find it cheaper somewhere. It's been an expensive (but thoroughly satisfying) week for me, what with the dvd's, ebay, and my newly ordered Naked Boys Singing soundtrack. And please, allow me this off-topic moment to say what a hi-larious musical that was to see and hear!

I also had to go the Best Buy way....although their automated response tells me that they are trying to understand why they are priced higher than Amazon............

Is there any way I'm going to get out of this with honor and dignity?
You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

i just wanted to let you guys know that know amazon.com is doing one of those "give us your e-mail and we'll let you know when it's available."

The purpose of it, I believe, is to let the producing company know there is a high demand for the dvd so they can make more.

They did the exact same thing when I went to pre-order The Lord of the Rings extended version (the first one). I gave them my e-mail about 6 months before it was supposed to be released, and I still got to pre-order it... I think it was a few months before the release that they e-mailed me.
