Well no it means you can sign up to be notified when the title comes out so it means something

WickyWoo · 01-09-2008, 10:27 PM

It means nothing in regards to an actual release

Yes, it says you can sign up for notification. And, unless it's a crappy encode, a definite buy.

As would be Serenity should (or should I say "when") its studio make a Blu-ray version of it.

I own the FF dvd set, as well as both releases of Serenity on SD, and would gladly do the same again on BD... especially if it meant relighting the firefly and getting it back on tv. Im damn surprised the sci-fi channel never bought it.

The show was recorded in HD but the CGI images (of the space ships and such) were only done in 480p. So if they were to release this they would have to redo the CGI stuff.

Who owns it? I'd buy Firefly and serenity in a heartbeat.

rigpig · 01-10-2008, 01:03 AM

.....i'd buy it in a heartbeat. About as close as you can get to a 'tragedy in network TV' the way the short-sighted twits at Fox-TV treated this series and canned it. It'll make 'er to blu eventually.

Say, btw i have the original release of Serenity on dvd....there's the 'Serenity CE' dvd...is this a different cut of movie?..more extras?..anyone? thx.

I watched Firefly on UPN in high-def. It looked pretty good. I'd buy it at full price.

So they re-did all of the CGI stuff just to get it on Universal HD?

Don't think so.

Don't think so.

Are there any comparison pics of the CG from the 1080i broadcast compared to the DVD or original broadcast? It could have just been upscaled.

Firefly was way better than Serenity, imho.

Generally, the way the story plays, Serenity is like a series finale for Firefly that made it to theaters.

Some browncoats want to disregard serenity at least a little bit though because they dont want to see some of their favorite characters die.

10 people loving the show a LOT still doesn't get them as much money as 50 leaving it on while they cook dinner.

edit - alright I know there's ways it can but when you're fox and yo make decisions off of a month or two of ratings, this is how thigns go.

I've got mine on mine on pre-order at Amazon. This is an automatic purchase, as I'm a big fan of the series and theatrical movie (Serenity). I was extremely excited with to find it up at Amazon for pre-order.

Can't wait!

bajor27 · 05-03-2008, 05:44 PM

I probably will pre-order this eventually, but not without knowing the release date.

Not so bad for you Americans as you can get free shipping on it by itself, but for me (a Canadian) I like to order multiple things at once to cut down on the shipping charges and that doesn't work so well when there isn't a release date.

Very excited though.

reson8er · 08-19-2008, 05:00 PM

I'm a huge fan of the show and the Movie, day one purchase for me. Now if they would only release the movie...

I'm sure Universal is working on it...I believe it's one of the title covers that's shown on their inserts.

swifty7 · 08-19-2008, 07:23 PM

to me Firefly was one of those rare shows where everything worked together to perfection: casting, story, music, cinematogrpahy and so on.

WHY IN HELL WAS THIS BRILLIANT SHOW CANCELED. I myself like the series a bit better than the movie. Whom ever was reponsible behind the cancellation should have been shot many times.

I will buy the blu-ray set in a heart beat as long as I can find a good deal online.
