Here's how things are doing in Ottawa.
Best Buy--No copies on the shelf. Employee explained that Firefly is so popular, not only has the store run out of DVDs but so has the central warehouse in Toronto. Had no idea when they would be getting more. "Good show," he added.
Music World--No copies on the shelf. Employee said they had trouble even getting any for Christmas, and these immediately sold out. They are re-ordering.
Future Shop--One copy languishing at the bottom of the 'assorted DVDs' shelf. I helpfully moved it to eye level, displacing a worthless Friends box set. Went back the next day and it was gone. Employee confirmed that they are all sold out of Firefly and will have to order more.
HMV--Saw a couple of copies in the alphabetical listing, behind Frasier. Moved these ahead of Frasier (just to keep with the front to back alphabetical scheme evident in the rest of the store you understand), when I looked up..... there were a good SEVEN OR EIGHT FIREFLY DVDS on a special BEST-SELLERS SHELF! They had a shelf to themselves, alongside the Simpsons and Friends.
That's what I like to see.

Okay. . .six of us intentionally spaced our visits to the Kandahar PX out about 30 minutes apart. The last guy to go in and ask the manager about the Firefly DVDs reports that the response was:
"NO, we don't have any more. . .YES we have more on order! We can only get the damn things in so fast, and they sell out as soon as they're on the shelf!!!!"
So. . .add Kandahar PX to the list.
==================================================
"Wash. . .we got some local color happening. A grand entrance would not go amiss."

Try Borders. I found my copy there with no problem. They seemed to have a few copies on the shelves.
They can have my "Firefly" DVDs when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers....
