You have a point there. Of course, I'm sticking with Peer Impact for other reasons. Besides, I can always rent episodes every month to show support for the show, and you'll only buy an episode once!
In the same camp with FollowMal, I'll be purchasing the episodes as gifts for friends. Being able to send them via email is an incredible way to circulate Firefly.
iTunes is also very high profile, the top site for downloads in fact, sales which show up there get noticed a lot more. Plus the iTunes program is downloadable for free, and it's cross platform... so there's versions for Windows and Mac.
Plus, as previously stated, with iTunes my friends get the episodes for keeps. And since I'm working to reach out and make many more new Firefly fans, I'll be buyin' these episodes a lot more than once.

Getting close to our start date for Firefly Fortnight ~ August 11th!
Show our continued support for the 'Verse by purchasing Firefly eps from iTunes. They really do make great gifts and are a great way to spread the word about our shiny show. Think how happy you'll make people by helping them to discover Firefly!
The price is very reasonable, only $1.99 per episode... which is only a dollar more than the cost of one song. Hey, an episode is almost an hour long, has pictures, PLUS it has that cool bluesy song in the intro... you get so much for your money!
Every way we show support helps keep us flyin'.

Firefly Fortnight is upon us!
For those who might question why fans, who already own the Firefly DVD set (perhaps several of them) would want to purchase a download version of the episodes... well remember: This purchase campaign isn't just about buying episodes for ourselves. It's about spreading the word of the 'Verse... you can send Firefly iTune episodes as gifts!
Being able to purchase Firefly eps at such a reasonable price and then send them as gifts via email, or through gift coupons, is an OUTSTANDING way to spread Firefly to other people. We all do our parts to help new folks discover Firefly, but we can sometimes hit resistance when people aren't convinced enough to purchase a full DVD set. By sending people individual eps, which can be easily viewed on your computer or iPod, we can do wonders to reach out get the 'Verse to so many new people.
Plus, iTunes is the top download site and by boosting the sales we are continuing to keep Firefly in the public eye. We're also showing that there is a ready audience to purchase episodes directly. The entertainment business is exploring all kinds of new ways to distribute entertainment. Perhaps a way that Firefly/Serenity can continue is through some kind of direct purchase model. Let's show that there's an audience out there to support it.
Spread the word!

Great Idea! Im signed up and ready to go...now all I need is a video Ipod... :) Ill have to go talk to my wife. I mean, as long as I have the episodes I might as well buy the Ipod right?
EXACTLY.
I have an ulterior motive for my downloading for myself. If I have those sweet eps around where I could put them on a vid IPod.. I'm gonna be so tempted to buy myself an IPod...I deserve one right? I work hard.
Also the second half of the thrill of doing this for me is the gift giving.. I've added two more friends of my daughter's to the list of folks I'm gifting with these eps. One LOVED Serenity, and didn't even know there was a show! So now she gets to fall in love harder. And I know this gregarious young lady will be sharing Firefly with everyone she loves right quick. This ITunes thing is a win win situation no matter how you look at it.

Heck I downloaded the whole series quite awhile ago when I found it avaiable on iTunes. I actually just ordered a 42 hour battery for my wife's iPod so as to watch more than just two eps on one charge.
Firefly on iPod is about the only reason to own an iPod. Now I just need Serenity on it.

Just crossposted this over at www.serenitystuff.com , and bought the 1st episode. Again.
Hey, I've bought plenty of the DVD sets, and I bought the soundtrack in several different formats. Why not multiple downloads?
