Oh and it seems that the disdain towards the coverart was enough to start this petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/SerenDVD/petition.html

I don't mind the menus, but this coverart really is atrocious. I might just make a custom black cover with the Serenity logo, sort of like Armageddon Criterion.
Still, I'm looking forward to this.

So... our only hope for a DTS ver. w/ a decent cover is HK/KOR?

I'll be there for the DVD, and it'll be the first time I've ever longed for a double dip. There's no way I'm not buying this, but I sure hope they give us some more special features.
I don't hate the cover as much as some, but after seeing some fan covers I decided Universal could have done MUCH better! Some more fan cover art can be found hosted in my gallery at www.exoticcatz.com/fireflyphotos

I'm curious why some in this thread feel that this release isn't a SE?
Is it just because there's no cast commentary?
Or that it doesn't go as in-depth as say one of the LOTR:EE DVDs (which I doubt they'll ever do)?
I mean it's got director's commentary, deleted scenes, a couple of documentaries, etc, it's far from being a bare bones release.
Joss Whedon was even quoted as saying this was how he wanted the film to be, so no added footage needs to be put back in for an extended edition/director's cut.

I'm a huge fan and I'll be UPS-ing a copy to the UK, so my question is which retailer is more reliable about release dates, amazon or DVDempire.
Empire have chaeper UPS costs, but this movie is a must have VIP pressies so it's got to get here in time.

Is this better edition still going to come out, or did the movie's lack of box office success affect it?

My guess is that Universal will release the "Shiny Edition" dvd or a name equally as cutsy and more repulsive. I personally will buy whatever they throw at us just in the vain hope of seeing a sequel. Long live the crew of Serenity.

Here's some good news browncoats (though it's not officially confirmed):

The project is said to be a lower budget undertaking streamlined for the small-screen.
IGN FilmForce checked with Joss Whedon's camp who denied the claim; Universal did not comment.
Time will tell if this rumor pans out.

Must not get excited... must not get excited...
It would work just as good on TV as any other medium. I'm not sure what the budget was for the show, but it looked great to me!
