This is quiet exciting news!
It is too bad there isn't more information out about this yet. It would be nice to know if:
1.) The series will be shown in the correct order
2.) The originally unaired episodes will be included
3.) Whether or not this is a one time deal...meaning has Sci-fi has bought the rights to show the series whenever they want or would this be a summer-only thing?

Sci-Fi Channel's schedulebot does not have the episode titles listed yet, but more than likely "Serenity" (the pilot episode) will be shown in two parts. All they have now is three listings, July 22 at 7pm Eastern, and two eps listed for the following Friday, 7/29, one at 6pm the other at 7pm.

Sci-fi is owned by NBC/Universal...
Sci-fi in the UK are showing Firefly at the moment, and they are doing it the correct order, with all the episodes. It is very likely the same will happen with the US branch of Sci-fi.

It seems like it'd be in their best interest to be shown in order, however, the announcement (see the first reply in this thread), does say they picked up all 15 hours and makes it sound like they can show it when they want.

Ahhh, I did, indeed, miss that link. So it sounds like we will be getting the entire series. Now let's hope they show it in the correct order!

If they begin with "Serenity Part 1" on 7/22, then run Part 2 and "The Train Job" on 7/29, then run the eps in order after that and don't miss a Friday, then "Trash" will air on September 30.

Did the same thing myself, but I kind of like this outcome better...
They show Serenity Part 1 on the 22, repeat it on the 29th, and show part 2. This is actually what Fox should have done. First, it gives people who catch Part 1 an opportunity to call their friends and say "this is repeating next week... watch it!" And those people who just tune in Fridays at 7 won't miss a single frame.
If that is indeed what they do (and I sure hope so), then "Out of Gas' and "Ariel" will air the two weeks before the BDM opens, and "Trash" will air opening night.
EDIT: Just re read your post. We come to the same conclusion, but by different means... I reserve the right to be wrong, however...

Check out the first draft of a flyer we can give to Star Wars fans to promote this:

Oh man, it doesn't get much better than this. Big exposure (IN ORDER) right before the movie.
Now maybe I can get my DVD set back from all the friends I've been sharing it with!
