I just ordered one from Amazon as well with no problems. Well not actually Amazon, one of their independant sellers. Must have just been a small glich in the system. Probably from too many Browncoats buying all of the ruttin DVD's.

That would be really cool if we'd already sold them out! But that stinks about the ordering glitches. Good luck with it!

I just placed an order and had no troubles.

Firefly was at 8 ranking and Serenity was at 23...

I had the same problem, and yes, I did try to order more when they originally came out. Amazon would only let me order in lots of five. So I bought two lots of five...THEN. Now, I just want one.

The sales count no matter where you get them, so maybe I'll get one from one of their independent sellers.

When I looked, about an hour ago (10 PDT), Firefly was at #3 and Serenity was at #7!

I'll email Amazon with my problem. If enough people complain, they should get right on it.

I'm seeing Firefly at #8 and Serenity at #23.
Or am I looking at the wrong list?

Surely we can do better than that?

I went back and looked. I was looking at the TV DVD sales and Science Fiction sales. What you all are talking about is the overall list.

However, the individual TV list is telling because from the time I saw it at 10ish to now at 11:30, Firefly went from 3 to 2. I can't seem to find a movie list.

All the buying we're doing will surely impact the overall list by midnight tonight, not to mention all the sales of Serenity that are happening in retail stores.

Is there some place to track total sales of Serenity?

It could be the 'verse telling you to buy more! Just a few minutes ago I just ordered 2-Firefly and 3-Serenity from Amazon through the link on the homepage here and the order processed as expected. (Will I complain if I get 5 of each? Not until the VISA bill arrives!) Maybe all the east coast Browncoats gave it too much of a workout this morning and we west coast late risers owe y'all thanks for getting it all fixed before we got online. 'preciate it!

The same thing happened to me last December, and I still can't order Serenity. Amazon sucks! They are lying if they say it will be fixed at the end of the day. I have emailed and called a hundred times and they kept telling me tech support will look into it. Finally, I demanded to speak with a manager.

Bottom line is that 5 is the limit, per account. I'm not talking about trying to buy 5 at once. Amazon counts your total order history. You can phone Amazon and order more, or you have to create a new account. It's BULLSHIT.

There's a little drop down box on the right that shows the maximum allowable.

Serenity's limit is 5:

But, Batman's limit is 30. NO FAIR!

The last email I received from Amazon said this:

Thank you for writing to Amazon.com.

I am sorry to learn that you are unable to purchase additional copy of "Serenity (Widescreen Edition)."

Please keep in mind that we are a retailer, not a wholesaler. We want as many customers as possible to be able to enjoy the items we sell, and so for some popular items we've limited the quantity that an individual customer may purchase from our store.

It is always important for us to hear how customers react to all aspects of shopping at Amazon.com. Strong customer feedback like yours helps us continue to improve the selection and service we provide, and we appreciate the time you took to write to us.

We hope you'll understand. Thanks for shopping at Amazon.com.

I guess they don't want our money?
