Firefly: The Complete Series- $23.49
This is the lowest the blu-ray set has ever been!
On the Blu-ray discs
Firefly has a picture that's a little softer than most Blu-ray discs (especially in the effects shots), but it is an improvement over the DVDs (even in an upconverting DVD player or Blu-ray player), and the punchy sound (DTS HD 5.1 compared to the DVDs' 2.0 surround) is a definite upgrade. In addition to the original bonus features, there are a couple new ones: a 25-minute conversation among Whedon, Nathan Fillion, Ron Glass, and Alan Tudyk in which they discuss the series and a number of specific episodes (Fillion recalls thinking he was getting fired after the first episode), and a new commentary track by the four fellows on "Our Mrs. Reynolds." And since it's easy to get sucked into watching multiple episodes, it's nice to have a Play All feature on the BDs.

Love this series. Great price for anyone that hasn’t picked it up yet. I think I paid $25.99 from Amazon a year or so again and thought that was a steal.

I got the e-mail from Amazon this morning and I knew that I couldn't pass that up.
I'm interested to see how the effects look in HD. The reviews I've read all say that the CGI is a tad soft, but it still looks better than the DVD, and the live action stuff looks great.

Seriously though a $1.51 price drop in half a year isn't much. I'd normally expect the price to go to $15-$20 after I bought mine to make me feel worse about losing $5-$10. $1.51 is in the noise margin.

I'll wait a bit longer.

I finally started watching mine last night. Think I paid $26 or so well over a year ago.

I agree the list price is inflated, but it's hard to argue with $20ish for an awesome show on BD. But if you're not anxious to have it and can wait, there's really no risk in doing that.
I wonder if anyone has ever paid full price for this show.

Whilst I would love to have this show on blu, I think I can hold off for the time being. I have a feeling when Black Friday rolls around this might be a lightening deal where you could get it for $15.
That said, if it dips below $20 before then I can see myself snatching it up
