I just got the message from the online-store, I preordered the DVD's ( http://www.cede.ch / for germans: Er liefert auch nach Deutschland)

Hallo Stefan,

deine Bestellung wurde wie folgt bearbeitet:
Pos Artikel Status Anzahl Preis
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1 DVD Firefly, The complete series (4 DVD) Ausgeliefert 1 74.90
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ausgelieferte Artikel haben unser Haus bereits verlassen und werden
dir in den nächsten Tagen per Post zugestellt.

Which means, that the dvd's have left their store and is about to arrive today or tomorrow!
It would be very strange if I've get the dvd's overseas sooner than in the US.

Maybe, they have their Partner in the USA, and I get it sent directly from there, and therefor it takes some time! But i hope!

I'll post if it has arrived today!

Hurray!!!!!!! Yudihuiiiiii (as we say in switzerland)

It has arrived!!!!!!!
If I had a good Digicam with me, I would save this moment for iternity.

Here's a pic I took with my crappy mp3player-cam (which makes only good pics outside with daylight)

It's four dvd-covers (a bit thinner than the usuals). Each with Mal, Zoe, Jayne and Book on it!

So excuse me for the next 9 hours! I've got something to do!!!

So long!!

OK...I'll tell you: TORTURE!

Crap, I just called Media Play, which is big in Utah, and they won't release the DVDs until Dec. 9, and they are charging $44.95.

Thanks to the tip from Xenarc, I talked to the Sam Goody in Layton, Tash. They are releasing them the 9th, and only charging $19.99. This is a great day for all Browncoats!!

Wow, what a great deal. Being a national chain, I wonder if all Sam Goody's are selling them for that price.

Kick ass! I just talked to the Salt Lake City store, and sure enough - the girl on the phone said come pay $5 now, and then $15 after the 9th.

I'm cancelling all of my Amazon pre-orders.

SOUTHERNMERC

Wednesday, November 26, 2003 3:42 AM

Oh, yeah I made my preorders with Sam Goody when I heard about that deal.

See? Even Suncoast/Sam Goody recognizes a great series and wants the word spread. And they are one of those corporate type people.

Folks in Europe and Australia getting theirs sooner? Well, they DID see the 3 episodes which were unaired in the US. I think someone is tryin' to stick it to us Browncoats in the US.

We haven't seen any Firefly here in Australia. So count yourself lucky you got at least something in the US.

I preordered my DVDs through Amazon, and I'm sure they won't send them until the 9th. Where did you people that have them already order from?

I'm in germany and have been told that my box has been shipped today (shipped from the US so it might take a while).

I ordered from: www.futureent.com a UK shop for 30 GBP that's about 51 USD

it's still only 43 euros and that's not too much for a season box of one of the best series ever.

I got an email from Barnes and Noble that mine have been shipped! I should have them in 3 to 7 business days.

Gorram it. I live in the uk and made the, apparently foolish, decision to pre order from that xi niao ta ma de hun dan of a company Amazon (on the plus side my chinese swearings coming along a treat).

Where are you people ordering from so i can join the shiny fun.

I just pre-ordered today from Barnes&Nobles and they will be shipping it the 6th Dec. and it should arrive 3-8 days later... Cost was ~$35US.

I managed to watch every single episode that aired on TV, even though it was tough to drive home from work that fast to catch the opening scenes.... It was my favorite TV show for all of two months before they pulled it

Now I'm a DVD-buying fool. Ordering Firefly and the first season of FarScape (the other excellent Sci-Fi show)

Just got my DVDs. Got charged 8.89 UKP import duty though! Don't think I will use Play US again if they are going to put the price on the outside of the packaging! Will stick to dvdboxoffice.

The gag reel on the extras seems to be a lot shorter than the downloadable version.

I live in Australia. Had to work late tonight. When I got home I had a message on my answering machean telling me that my Firefly DVD set was at the store and I could pick it up at anytime Woo Hoo! I mean Doh! If I had not worked back I could have picked it up tonight Doh! Doh! Doh! O well I can pick it up tomorrow night, I guess, or maybe I will call in sick tomorrow? I can tell them I pick up a bug "Firfly".

I got mine today, and was also charged by custom's. Perhaps they are not fans of the show. Playusa is to be avoided.

What i do find ironic is that in the UK we are getting the DVD's before the Americans, especially they been imported from US

However, cool 4 single hardcase cases look great with Mal and co.

Monday, December 1, 2003 2:54 PM

I got mine from futureent.com - which is the same company as loaded247 but for some reason they're trading under two names?? free import tho, and they actually gave me back my money when my Headstones CD supplier went awol. I like them.

i want the serenity set, could re-build the ship in the garden (and a few of the neighbours' garden's but I'm sure they won't mind) - then I can run around in it and pretend to shoot at stuff! I'm too old to suspend my disbelief just running around my house pretending its a spaceship, and I must stop referring to my cat as mei-mei.

God bless loaded247 (and those that recommended them) - my DVD's were shipped today. There was the disclaimer of a possible 10 days, but the dangled carrot of a mere 2. So very, very exctited

I ordered mine from dvdboxoffice, however no word from them yet. I´ll just hope it will arrive in time for the holydays.

What is the "downloadable gag-reel" you´re referring to?

I got the DVD set tonight the picture quality is awesome. I just finished watching Serenity on a three and a half meter projector screen and I am over the moon with joy! Having only seen the Firefly on SVCDs created from mpgs that I downloaded I was amazed by the detail and quality of the special effects and the image in general. FANTASTIC! I can't wait to get the new Battlestar Galactica mini-series on DVD. If the effects are this good it is going to kick ass.

I should also mention seeing the cast in hi-resolution on a big screen made me very happy. Bring on the movie!

The best show in the vers!

My love of loaded247 grows daily. Ordered on Sunday, confirmed and dispatched on monday, arrived on tuesday.

All is well with the world ... except for the fact that theyve butchered the gag reel to a fraction of its length by removing the funniest bits, but im too happy to care right now. Does anyone else think the picture of Book on the second disc is way cool

I'm also in the UK and got mine today, bringing to an end several days of rushing down the stairs at breakneck speed each morning at the slightest sound of activity around the postbox :-)

I ordered from www.movietyme.com, who I would highly recommend having been a happy customer of theirs for a long time now. They are a US company but dispatch from the UK, so no customs duties, and they also have a habit of sending out the goods as soon as they receive their stock. I had the LOTR "Two Towers" extended gift set three weeks early and have also been admiring the "Alien Quadrilogy" set on my shelf for a couple of weeks. Now, at last, comes the box set I've been waiting for all year. SHINY!

My early impressions of the "Firefly" set are fantastic. Stunning picture quality, expansive widescreen transfers and, unusually for a box set, nice packaging. I especially like the use of proper slimline Amaray cases to house each disc. These discs sure will be taking a hammering so it's good to know that they will be properly protected :-)

Glanced through all the episodes tonight and some of the extras. It's a sweet, sweet package.

Overall, I can't believe my luck at getting the set early. Quite a few seem to be arriving now. One of my work colleagues even had his yesterday.

The watch-through, beginning to end, commences tomorrow! :-)

Regards,

Ade

Seeing as Sam Goody is part of Musicland, which also owns Suncoast Video, I called the closest Suncoast this morning from work and the girl there told me that the preorder price is $19.99 if I came in and put down $5. So guess where I was at lunchtime.

Where can those of us who were idiots and didn't pre-order buy the damn thing? They've got it on Wal-mart.com, but they put up tons of stuff they never sell. I was thinking Barnes and Noble, maybe?
