Errr... I hate to come across as iggerant, but I am. I couldn't find the "You save" anywhere. I bought it anyway. $2. No sweat. But if you've got more complete directions on where I can find that, I could use the hand-holding.

Thanks,

Hahahahaha! I might as well complete the whole dork image by replying to my own post. Viewed the order and there's a nifty $1.99 charge followed by a -$1.99 rebate sitting right on the invoice. Couldn't be easier!

Thanks again for pointing out the whole Amazon Download thing. W00T!

Let's see, on the main page that says viewing:firefly Season 1 in the middle it says season year;2002, just below that it says season price;$$27.29, then Season Sale Price $22.29, then You Save $5.57, then 3 lines of small print & in small print bold "Instant rebate: $1.99 off your first purchase (with a link)Here's how(restrictions apply)

all of the above is located between the firefly
picture & the Buy buttons. Oh but you know, that was all on the main firefly page. On the individual ep page the link is located just below the Price; $1.99.

This link might work

Indeed it does! More good news, Serenity (the movie, not the episode) is also listed as available for download, though when you click on the link it says it's not available yet. But I'm guessing that means there's a placeholder in the system for when it does become available.

Not sure how many other movies they're planning to do this with (yes, there really are other movies besides Serenity). But this is a neat service.

Still downloading the pilot, so I can't compare quality against the DVD yet.

Where it differs from iTunes is that you get a large, higher rez copy for watching on your PC and a smaller copy optimized for your handheld device, whereas iTunes gives you one file that’s somewhere in between. Consequently you get a much crisp bigscreen version and a portable one with a smaller filesize.

The FRACKING point is... What good to US is being able to download Firefly episodes? Its not like they are new episodes.. and everyone here except the ABSOLUTE newbies owns multiple box sets.

I am all for popularising Firefly but advertising the fact that we can download Firefly episodes on this site serves no real purpose other than enlightenment.

Lets preach to the choir..

Let's expand the choir!

Enlighten someone else!

Tell others they can download one episode of TV for free and you have a suggestion like Firefly.
And it is still #2 after 24. Whoo-hoo!

Like the idea above of keeping a downloaded episode on a laptop to show whenever. Airplane rides etc. Read this idea elsewhere about having a portable DVD player with Serenity DVD: Have three sets of earplugs and ask your seatmates if they want to watch a great TV episode.

Same with handheld devices. Have a Firefly episode on it--to show to people what TV episodes look like on the device. Like "See you can watch TV episodes on it too." "That is too little...hey what show is that?..."
