Thank you, Shameless. I think this is a good cause, not just for the BDM but for Any DVD, including the FF Box set. Deaf and Hearing Impaired Folk are as entitled to know what's in the Special Bonus Features as the rest of us. I find it odd and unfair that they can't. The only reason I can think of for Studios doing this is expense. It can't really cost That much, but they save some bucks by skipping captioning on the extras. -And that's wrong.

What you are asking for would eventually lead to LESS extras because it would indeed be "too expensive" to put captions on every one of them.
I'm not saying that's how it's supposed to be, but that's how it is.
So my guess is that the only way you would get closed captions on all extras of a movie would be as a PR stunt, and even that's unlikely.
Not trying to rain on your parade, but I guess there aren't "enough" hearing impaired people around to be worth the effort. I do in no way condone this, but that's the way the business world seems to work. If it wouldn't, we'd all have had our sequel by now for sure, and wheelchair ramps on every building, for that matter.

After having my wisdom teeth pulled and being half-asleep the past two days, this is great news! I ams SO glad that we American folks can finally get our two-disc Serenity. This year looks to be very good for the Browncoats, what with Firefly Visual Companion: Vol. II and Serenity: Better Days, and now Serenity: Special Edition!
Anyone else looking forward to a, hopefully, improved box art?

Heck, if cost is the object, I'm sure there are plenty of fans who would gladly volunteer their time and effort to do transcripts of the special features. You can put me on the list, for one.

Hey, you don't have to convince ME. But even if there were transcripts, they would still have to be implemented, and there could be legal issues we're not aware of.
I know that Fans are sometimes helping with the translation of TV shows into German (because they usually suck, which pisses of the fans - AND THE GERMAN VERSION OF FIREFLY IS THE BEST PROOF FOR THAT - HORRIBLE), so there is some kind of co-operation between companies and the fans, but I don't know if it's like that in other countries.

My deepest apologies to All.... I have been informed and tested it myself... There are subtitles in the dvd extras for Serenity... But not for the Easter Egg. So I apologize for my mistake, but Still hope that Joss adds captioning to the Easter Egg.
I'm not sure, but my deaf friends may have been referring to the Firefly Box set, because I know there's no way to activate subtitles for the extras there. If we ever get a special edition of That, well.... along with an Apology from Fox, subtitles in the extras would be nice! :D

Here's a lark; a cast commentary with them all commenting In Character; as if they were real people who the movie was about! But later got to see it... like 20 years later. For Wash, it turns out the "real" person lived, so he still gets to comment (it was just in the movie/story about them, he dies ;-) ).
