Thanks, Whisper.

Would that we here in the U.S.A. had recognized it as well.

I'm really hoping now when the DVD goes on sale in the U.K. and elsewhere around the world, that the sales will go thru the roof and that Universal will see that it needs to do something more with our ship and crew.

I tried to update this award to imdb.com

http://imdb.com/title/tt0379786/awards

But I got stuck on a few questions that I did not know how to answer. The only award showing for Serenity on imdb.com is
Online Film Critics Society Awards for Best Breakthrough Performance for Nathan Fillion


Anybody else want to try?

I may have to change from being a patriot to a loyalist if you know what I mean.

It's on sale down here in New Zealand at the moment... special edition 2 disk set w/ Joss' autograph.

Payday can't come soon enough :)

It can go next to the zone 1 copy of the movie and series I've already got :-D

Yay, for Browncoats who buy multiple copies!!
Thanks!

I wish I knew I could make a copy from there work in my DVD player ( I'm in the USA) I'd order me one of those shiny things. I think I can make it work on my computer DVD player with a program I can download.

Shoot, wish I knew.

Well, there is always the power of Google to find out if your DVD player can be unlocked. The problem is that if I remember right (and it's very possible I don't - so don't quote me) it's illegal to sell an unlockable DVD player in the US.

Us poor bastards in NZ (I'm a transplanted American) as compensation for living in on islands in the middle of nowhere [very pretty islands though] get easily unlockable DVD players sold to us so we can buy ZOne 1 DVD's of stuff that hasn't come out down here yet.

You can copy it using CloneDVD2 and a nifty little program called AnyDVD.
CloneDVD2 does the actual ripping/burning while AnyDVD runs in the background and removes the region codes.

I picked up the Aussie collectors tin version (because it is way cool!) and was able to copy both discs and watch the extra features.

well, the dvd gets released in the UK in 9 days time (27th feb) and on preorders alone, its sitting at no 5 in the amazon.co.uk sales ranking! A good sign methinks!
