Just preordered 3. I don't know who'll be receiving them yet though.

Ten copies - 2 already preordered, probably 3-4 more on the release date, and the rest after Christmas.
Some for gifts, but I'll have plenty of spares, because I don't want to give them to people who are planning on buying the movie already (which is most of my close friends). I'm not really sure what to do with the rest. The library idea sounds like a good one. I'll probably send a couple to friends from my husband's unit that are in Iraq - hopefully make a few more converts there....I'd love any additional ideas for what would be the most effective thing to do with extra copies.

At least two...one for myself and one for my folks (number likely to increase later on). My mother has tried to talk me out of it, saying she'd be happy just borrowing my copy when I get it, but I had to set her straight and tell her that the more copies sold, the better! 
It's gonna be sweet...come on December 20th!

I've got two on order (one to loan and one to keep).
OTOH, I'm giving the FF DVDs to everybody in my family (plus the VC to my nieces who loved the movie and 'Finding Serenity' to my sister who likes that sort of thing.)

3. 1 for me, 2 for soon-to-be-converted friends.

I already ordered 1 for a gift. And unless I get one for xmas, I'm going to wait for the extended DVD to come out to buy it for myself.

I'm in the same boat as Serenyty, I think my parents ordered a copy for me for Christmas, and being a college student AKA. Freeloader, myself(that's just me!) I can't afford more than one copy.

About 2 weeks after the domestic open, I began considering buying tickets but not going to the theater, just to get more money into the thing. And then it hit me--I am not personally responsible to bankroll a sequel. I do not have to beat myself up over whether I've "done my part". And I certainly don't have to spend more money than I can afford on this. I realized that I don't have any "responsibility" in this whole thing. I am a fan. That means I'll go see the BDM as many times as I want to, not as many times as I "should". After that I was able to relax and bask in the glory of the BDM without worrying over much about the bottom line.
Same deal with the DVDs. How many copies am I buying? One for me. Period. I'll try and introduce people to the 'verse, get them excited about the series and the movie, but I'm done with thinking that I need to give copies of the movie away to people that didn't ask for it, just to get the DVD numbers up. Perhaps that makes me less of a fan of the 'verse than folk think I should be, but I just don't give a damn anymore.

I have one on preorder and plan to pick up one on release day.
I think sending the BDM and Firefly to the soldiers in Iraq is a good idea. It will probably be passed around and around.

Sending the BDM and Firefly to Afghanistan would do the men and women STILL over there some good as well.
