I come past here everyday in hope of news.
To get that hope from the lips of Joss himself is a funny feeling.
I had this small feeling that Joss had forgotten about Firefly and given up after achieving Serenity. Clearly he is still very interested in the verse.
When that S.E comes out I will be buying $100 worth. I always said that I would spend any amount of money to get it back and here is my/our big chance.
People who have the money...buy in bulk. I have worked in retail and I know that bulk buying usually tells the owners "shit, we have to buy more of these."
The studio does not make money on copies sold to us, it makes money on copies sold to the retailer. So if you go pass a shop, buy the last copy, buy the last 2 copies, MAKE THEM ORDER MORE!
I loved scrolling down this page and watching the wheels slowly turn on a 'browncoat plan'. This is our big chance and I now have a great feeling.
Good luck everyone, I eagerly await the next 2 months

I plan to do the same Bringitback. Fortunately I have many birthdays in September and I have folks I cannot wait to share this movie and the new commentary with.
And I intend to be a long term buyer...so that it's not just on one day, but for weeks afterward.
I know everyone can't afford to buy in bulk, but if you can afford to buy one, please do.
And say thank you to Uni for this.
This is our chance. We have to grab it.

Well browncoats, here we are. We're still holdin', waiting for word and now the word has come. Joss says our hopes of a sequel rest on this special edition dvd. We want another film the SE dvd has got to sell.
Word is it's only on region 1. That news ain't all that great. That means it's up to us Region 1 browncoats to do the impossible. AGAIN! We know better than assuming anything. We know better than to expect a lot in the way of support or marketing from Universal. Suits me fine. Leaves all the credit for it's success to the browncoats who have carried the signal so far.
Time to dust off those brown coats. We want our girl to fly again it's up to us. It's going to take each and every browncoat here, on every other message board, those that don't post, and those who may not even realize they are browncoats yet. We have to spread the word like never before. It's time to utilize those guerilla marketing skills like never before. We need to do every single thing we can to insure this SE dvd is a success.
I ain't asking no one to mortgage the family farm buying every copy at the local Best Buy. Buy as many as you can without stretching the budget too thin. If that means just one copy, that's something and it puts us one step closer to a sequel. If you can afford more than one, I urge you to do so. The SE dvd will make a great gift and there is only 140 days until Christmas. 
There is all sorts of reasons to give a shiny gift like the SE dvd.
Spread the word. Tell everyone you know about the SE dvd. Spread the hope Joss has given us to every message board, community, and site you visit. If the signal dies here it is because we didn't hold like we promised we would. I know we all want the story to continue, so let's get out there and do our part to see that Joss has the chance to tell it.

The Special Edition is up to 59 on amazon's best seller list. Last week it was closer to 100.

Hollywood.com: What is the future of Firefly and Serenity?
Joss Whedon: The Serenity special edition DVD is coming out, because the DVD keeps selling so well. They cannot keep it on the shelves. They tell me this themselves. This is good news. One hopes that it might sell so well that one day somebody goes, ""You know what? I could put this up again."" Maybe not on the same level, but with what you can accomplish now with special effects every week, it becomes astronomically cheaper to get things done…In a heartbeat I would do it, with these guys. I'd do animated. I'd do it radio. I'd do whatever it took to work with these actors again and to write those characters. Right now, there is nothing in the wind.

I JUST read that myself and forwarded it on to a bunch of people. Gives a little bit of hope, but disappointing that there is 'nothing in the wind' yet.

Thanks BiX!
Again, the DVDs are selling well. Now we just need to make sure the SE sell just as well.

If your local library does not have a copy of the series or the movie this is a great opportunity to buy and extra copy and *donate it to them. At $18 that's pretty good signal boost for the buck.
*ask them to put it into General Circulation.

wow this one is even better IMO. When was the last time he spoke like this? With such optimism and desperation?
The wheels are indeed turning.
A Quick question...this S.E will be available in australia right??
