What gets me about this is these three points:
- How many people, with the option, will download that and not bother with the DVD, not counting true Browncoats (for the most part)?
- When we(other countries) get "double-dipped"(ripped off with a crap DVD, then a "Special Edition" which is really US version #1 - see T2 and BTTF, which has three and two versions respectively(T2[R4], T2[R1 disc #1]/T2:"Special Edition"[R4], T2: Extreme Edition[R1 disc #2, unreleased elsewhere], BTTF[R4 Disc Set], BTTF(with extra MJF commentary among other things)[R1 disc set #1/R4 Disc Set #2) who sends the other extras from the US outward?
(I think it's kinda amusing that you guys finally know the crap we go through with 142 Editions of the same ONE movie from America to get ALL of the extras.)
- It's US$25 with a free metal collector's tin! What's so gorram expensive about that?!
(Not to mention it's a down payment on a follow-up!)

The files in question are deleted scenes and a few making of videos. The only people interested in these at all are true browncoats. Plus with all respect to the people who ripped these the screen size is way tiny you can hear the voices and kinda see what's going on but they're no videophiles dream. This is a stopgap measure only.

Finally we're getting the shaft too. Schadenfruede is fun.

Plus shipping, plus I need to fiddle with my player (or maybe even buy another player altogether) to get it to run, plus it's the wrong video format (pal/ntsc) which means that even if I get it to run the voices may wind up sounding goofy.
These files will tide me over untill somebody amongst TPTB get it together to release these to the american market.

Is the cd wow one and the ezydvd one the exact same (with the metal case and stuff) and if not would the ezydvd one work on a region2 dvd (I'm sorry to be a dumbass, I just want to make sure before I buy it and have to fork out for a multiregion dvd player as well (I just bought Battlestar Galactica Season 1 and mini series, Sopranos Season 4 (and I need to buy 5 for a parentals birthday) so i ain't got enough cash to buy a multiregion dvd player as well) ^^.

The CD-WOW version is the standard Australian DVD release (the non-metal tin version). If you don't want the tin, ordering the non-metal tin version from EzyDVD is still cheaper than using CD-WOW :S.
I considered the metal tin, and then realised that there was an extra postage cost.

With all due respects, it's not amusing. It's irritating, and however much I understand what you go through, at the same time, I have no control over it.

Havent seen those 2 yet but i will. Got my 2 disc tin in this weekend. I did watch the Q & A session w/ JOSS, did anyone else? He said that firely in that form was dead, and he wouldnt mind telling other stories from that verse w/ some of the charecters but it wont be the same as when it was on TV. I really got depressed when I heard that. I like serenity and he is trying to get another movie made but i think hes giving up on idea of firefly flying again. he also took a vote there w. the ppl in the audience and they were overwhelmingly in favor of firefly return to TV. Unless a network comes to him about firefly returning i dont think its gonna happen. the best we can hope for will be a serentiy sequel.. sad news IMO
That's why I never kiss 'em on the mouth

I find that DVD-ROM is your friend in these circumstances. With a TV-OUT video card and a copy of AnyDVD, you can play most DVDs through the PC to the TV.
I have the second US (R1) copy of T2 (which one day MIGHT become the third Aussie copy) thanks to this.

The British (R2) and Aussie (R4) discs are often the same, via a mindset of "They're related" and the fact that we both use PAL.
Recode the set from R4 to R2, and press away!
I doubt it'll take long past the release of our DVD.
