COO L I went to preorder but it said discontinued ..?

rivergirl | May 04, 14:37 CET

Damnit, that's not tomorrow ! What's the point in even making wishes in the first place, hmm ?

Still, something to look forward to. Hopefully details about the extras will be made official fairly soon.

Saje | May 04, 14:39 CET

I cannot wait for this to come out in the UK!

You know, I've heard there may be some new key art on it...!

Anyone know of a proposed UK release date yet?

-=NeoDoug1=- | May 04, 14:39 CET

Not sure if it's getting a UK release. Hopefully so!

gossi | May 04, 14:55 CET

They'd be daft not to release it over here surely ? Though bizarrely, it'll almost definitely be cheaper to get it from the States anyway, at least at first, given the exchange rate.

New key art ? Hmm, that always seemed a bit up in the air to me, I just wish we'd had some kind of emphatic confirmation. ;-).

Saje | May 04, 15:08 CET

Shiny.
And what a day of difference makes, I checked the website yesterday morning, and there was still no news, and today it changed.

Wonder if we`ll get more llamas in the cover art.... kidding. I`m really wondering what will be the cover art for this release.

What I also find to be interesting, that it'll be in Digipack package. Don`t know about the previous Region 1 or 2 releases, but the two Region 4 DVDs I own (an Aussie double-disk and a Brazilian single-disk) were all in Amaray package. I don`t know why but digipack packages tend to look cooler on the shelf, somehow. Last weekend I was just comparing how the Pirates of the Caribeean (yes, I am a fan of some Jerry Bruckheimer / Johnny Depp blockbuster action) looked different, as "Curse of the Black Pear" was in one of those old black amaray packages, while "Dead Man's Chest" was in a pretty Digipack package.

I doubt it`ll will get a release here in Brazil, so I'll definetely import a copy from the US.

Is there an Inara Aerobic session? Otherwise I'm not so sure about this.

Pumps | May 04, 15:25 CET

*goes to pre-order and start sitting by mailbox till August* ;-)

billz | May 04, 18:28 CET

I was wondering which of us would be the one to see this and get it posted, when it happened. I had UNi Home Ent checked everyday, and had their "coming soon" pages auto-checked by changedetect.com, heh.

theonetruebix | May 04, 18:31 CET

Ah hah! bix's secret is finally revealed! :D

lexigeek | May 04, 18:42 CET

"artwork not available" hahah

MySerenity | May 04, 20:01 CET

it would be funny if they released the DVD with a sign "insert your own artwork" on the cover. ANd I will wait till i can order on amazon maybe before pre-ordering it. And ooo with this, Babylon 5 Voices in the dark coming out in July and Sanctuary coming out online in a few weeks, ooo I will be having a geekified summer :P(hope I can afford it all).

kurya | May 04, 20:09 CET

Yay! Something super fantastic to mark in August! I cannot wait for this.

Also, thanks Kurya, I am totally going to forget about Sanctuary if I'm not careful.

mifeng | May 04, 20:40 CET

Well mifeng, if you are interested they have a 5 minute sneak preview of the first/second webisode, and a 1 minute intro from the star/exec producer on the site right now.

kurya | May 04, 20:50 CET

"artwork not available"

According the AICN the llama is holding out for more money.

RBB | May 04, 21:28 CET

That and the llama wants to have more coverage on the new DVD cover, not a small(but memorable) part of the cover. And make sure the artist gets the good side of the llama. Its too bad they cant just replace the llama with another one *stupid llama unions" :P.

kurya | May 04, 21:54 CET

And remember: Attend one of this year's charity Serenity screenings and you could win a copy of this Collector's Edition DVD (or a voucher redeemable for one if it's not ready yet).

theonetruebix | May 04, 22:01 CET

It comes out the same day as Dexter. I wonder which one I'll buy first, heh.

electricspacegirl | May 05, 01:15 CET

That hi-tech gadget whatjamuchcallit is beyond me. When the pages got updated it was usually around 9-10am.

And why has there never been a mention of this Serenity release?

Amazon Link:

Brilliant choice of companion films for Joss' movie *ahem*.

Simon | May 05, 01:59 CET

Yep, that pairing is a little bizarre. Eagerly awaiting shiny new extras, I too am still on the edge of my seat to see if there will be new key art, oh the suspense!

onthedrift | May 05, 02:29 CET

When the pages got updated it was usually around 9-10am.

Under normal circumstances, we probably would have double-posted, but that's when I was at Kinko's making packets of charity screening promotinal crap to go to local comics shops before tomorrow. Heh.

(At least I was off doing something Browncoaty when I missed this.)

theonetruebix | May 05, 02:36 CET

And what about of this release.

It doesn't matter that much, but I just found out our local Uni recently made our local release of Serenity cheaper, It's like half the price, compared to when I bought it.

Numfar PTB | May 05, 04:56 CET

August is looking geekier and geekier with Serenity CE and Heroes S1 DVDs being released within a week of each other. :)

cabri | May 05, 07:55 CET

Plasticy money was all ready to order direct from Universal.

B!X, I got this high-tech thing to check on page changes too. Favorites. Click. Use eyesight. Compare to image stored in brain.

You'll note above that I said I was using that also. (The web tool was the backup plan.)

theonetruebix | May 05, 09:49 CET

Whoa these DVD pairings are like fanfic crossovers! (Tabz likes that)
... And what's with the not being able to pre-order? Tabz protests!

BrownCoat_Tabz | May 05, 10:01 CET
