Does anyone have any stories of how they came to own a Firefly DVD?. This is my story of how I came to own a Firefly DVD.

I wanted the Firefly Season 1. So 3 months passed and someone asked me what I wanted for xmas and I told them I wanted Firefly Season 1. So, on xmas day I opened a xmas present and guess what the present was? The present was Firefly Season 1 DVD... I was really surprised. When I tried to open the DVD case, the case would not open and I noticed there was a picture of a red lock in the inside of the case. I took the DVD to a rental video store. The rental video store assistant said The Firefly DVD was security locked. The rental video store assistant said the store the DVD had been bought from had forgotten to unlock the security lock on the DVD. The Firefly DVD was purchased from a store 300km away. So, I waited for a month before a trip back to the 300km away place. When 300km away store tried to open the box, they couldn't open the box. The store didn't have any more Firefly DVD's in stock. The store said they would give me a refund. When I got the refund I travelled 300km home and then purchased a copy of Firefly from another store.

I would have went to work on it with a blow torch and a circular saw if that's what it took.

Glad you finally got to watch you DVD.

That's quite a tale! Unfortunately, I just went down to Wal-Mart to get my first set.

I wish I had a story like that. :D

I (never having seen it before) was reluctant to spend $40 on it, so I waited until Target marked it down to $20 and then I snatched it up...and it sat on my shelf for another 2 months before I got around to watching it. Although, in the past 2 weeks I have watched it twice.

I watched a couple of episodes at a friend's house, saw Serenity, and went and bought the Firefly DVDs the next day.

That was a year and a half ago or so, and I watch Firefly all the time still, just rewatched almost all of it last week

Firefly was a simple impulse buy for me. I saw it was on sale at Target. I didn't even know what a Firefly was. But it was on sale and it was the complete first season. What can I say? I'm a sucker for sales! So I bought it and it also stayed on my shelf for a couple of weeks. Then I saw Serenity. Then the rest is history!

Did my guerilla marketing duty and put it next to 24, on the top (eye level) shelf.
