Thanks to Marcus who sent us the following info.
Coming Thursday, April 27th, Fox will release a series of "series starter" DVDs in germany. The series starters are intended to draw attention to Fox tv shows and include 24, THE X-FILES, BUFFY and FIREFLY.
The single DVD contains the first two episodes of a series and will cost around 5 Euro. (which is about 5 US Dollars). Especially the FIREFLY series starter would be a great way to hook new people on the show and at 5 Euro will make an excellent and reasonaably priced gift. (The FIREFLY series starter contains the pilot SERENITY and the episode THE TRAIN JOB).

Niska's intro, man through engine, the holographic bar window, Jayne going crazy and falling asleep, the chain of command, "I was aiming for his head," "If you die can I have your share?", "We tried to move him to the infirmary, he's just...heavy," "Time for some thrilling heroics," the zooming of the screw, the TRAIN, "Two by two, hands of blue," "I've had plenty worse an....OWWW!"
Don't diss the 'Job.

But back on topic, are they going to bring these things to North America, or is it going to be a Europe-only thing? I agree it's a great idea. I'm thinking it would be a great way to introduce other buffy/angel-wary Sci-fi fans to the show, if they were available at conventions and such.

Wish that were so, since I just received a nice check in US dollars. Unfortunalety, that figure will dwindle to four fifths of its original size once I cash it.
Still, don't forget that the FIREFLY box costs about 45 Euros in Germany, which translates to way over fifty dollars -> about twice the sum you pay for it in the US. So, for us, yes, a five Euro starter kit is quite a bargain.
