There's been no confirmation yet that it is being released on either HD DVD or BluRay yet, at the moment all we know is it is being shown on a HD TV channel.
Fox only supports BluRay whereas Universal only supports HD DVD so it does seem likely that unless Universal bought the rights wholesale to Firefly (which hasn't been said anywhere), any HD release on the series will be on BluRay. Which means if you want it them both on disk, you need two machines.
Sigh.

Yeah.
I just cannot believe the idiocy of these consumer electronics companies who couldn't get together on a single standard. It's Beta vs. VHS all over again, only this time the public will remember and simply opt for none of the above until the dust settles -- by which time neither[\i] format may be viable.

I'm pointin' right at it!

My only concern will be the fact that FireFly was shot on 35mm film and it is being digitized to 1080i high definition, which is not the same as being captured with a HD camera. It will look great on an HDTV, I am sure, but it will not look stunning, as HD video looks on an HDTV when captured with an HD camera...
