This isn't exactly cutting edge news but I just found out about these two titles' BD releases.

Firelfy came out on Nov 11th and will work on region A+B players.  Can't believe I missed this.  Be warned the CGI footage is only standard def, but I've heard that the live action shots look good and the sound is great. -Details-




Serenity is out on region A Dec 30th and Region B Jan 5th.  -Details-

Oh joy...the movie that made me select HD-DVD.

Thank you Universal.  Thank you so bloody much!

(I was wondering which would be the first film i'd quadruple-dip on.  Now i know.)   
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

I watched the first half of the first episode of Firefly & couldn't get into it. Do you think it would be worth me going back & revisiting it? I do normally like sci-fi series.

Definitely!    It's obviously not to everyones taste (nobody I know has even heard of it) but it's worth sitting through the whole thing to try it out.  Be sure to watch them in the right order though, not the messed up order that Fox originally aired them.  The DVDs are in the right order.

Thanks! Looks like I'm going to need to find some more money to spend on my Blu-ray collection 

Like you, I don't know of anyone who would've heard of it so can't borrow from them.

Already have and watched Firefly on Blu-Ray. It was a bittersweet experience. On the one hand it was wonderful seeing what was one of my favorite TV series in all it's magnificence on Blu-Ray. On the other hand It just made me that much madder at Fox for prematurely pulling the plug on such a great series. I also have Serenity on pre-order at Amazon.

If you find a bargain on the BDs wing me a PM    Priced them up on Amazon.com and it came to nearly £50 (about the same as .co.uk) and as much as I love Firefly, I just can't afford that atm.

My sentiments exactly.  I absolutely loved this series.  In my opinion it isn't simply a failed science fiction weekly drama because the characters that Joss Whedon created here are deep and alive, not just typical wannabe Star Wars knock-offs.  Combine this with a definite "Old Western" theme and it is a fabulous series that despite its short run, has an extremely deep mythology!!!

The bad is that everytime I watch them, I lament that I will never explore deeper into the stories in the "Verse" and these wonderful characters!!!

My Collection!!!

Took the plunge and ordered this morning    Just couldn't wait any longer.. 

I kept telling myself: "maybe if Fox make enough money off the release they'll see the error of their ways and commission another series!"

Just finished watching the series, it seems shorter and shorter each time I watch it    The roundtable was great but I do wish they'd have splashed out on a decent amaray case.  Anyway, roll on Jan 5th!
