Damnit! And start buying Serenity!

Bestselling DVD's at Amazon.com :
Firefly Boxset #16
Serenity # 26

Get them cheap (only $16.98) at Amazon. It's our only hope for any future.

It's new people that saw the movie now buying the series on DVD. Once they've seen it they'll want to see the movie again, so they'll buy the Serenity DVDs then. So the Serenity sales will probably overtake the Firefly sales at some point.

I suspect it's also because a small percentage of people preorder stuff.

Ignore the person at the top of this thread.

Khyron is right that the majority of recent sales is new people brought in by the movie or the series playing on Sci Fi that are driving up the sales on Amazon. We need those people too. It was the sales of the DVD that got us the BDM in the first place. No sense putting a stop to buying them now.

lol, okay, point taken.
But at least I can pick up the DVD and shake it gently to hear if it's dislodged at the store, and at worst I can bring it back the same hour for an exchange, if necessary.
I got a scratched up DVD from Hong Kong that would've taken weeks to replace; luckly, I was able to 'polish' down the scratch so that it would play...and that's only one of the ones that came that way.

I have to agree. I order stuff on-line if I can't find it retail, or if I find a REALLY great deal on line (like 3 seasons of 24 for $25.00).

I've gotten stuff on-line in the past that didn't work, and exchnaging it took weeks, or in one case, an exchange was refused, and I was on my own.

Besides, buying retail supports the local economy, and it needs all the help it can get around here.

I admit to being one of those people that saw the movie first, then got the series DVD.

At first, I put both the series and the movie in my cart. But, to get free shipping at Amazon you have to have them shipped together, not separately. I wasn't going to wait until Serenity shipped to get the series! So I removed Serenity and I'll have to get it later.

I know it is only like $3 more for the shipping, but I haven't converted my significant other over to Firefly yet (I went to the movie alone). Once that happens I'll feel better about spending our money on the movie and hopefully lots of other good Firefly stuff!
