If it doesn't change, I will be printing out Mr. The Dark Shape's cover.
For that cover will never be on my shelf.
But I'll keep it, not throw it away.
As I have a place in my heart for llamas.

Drat, I just recently placed a pre-order on Amazon (including the Firefly soundtrack)... and it wouldn't let me combine this. I had to delete that order and redo it with this added (I want me some free shipping)
And btw... how come a search for "serenity" on Amazon doesn't turn up the Serenity DVD yet?

And for the cover: From an artistic standpoint, the movie poster is better. Want to know why?
The movie poster has excellent overlapping, everything is done in a pyramid formation (the easiest way to compose a picture and make it harmonious), everything is in different scales, and the colors are harmonious as well.
The DVD cover is split into an awkward 1/4 composition, very little/awkward overlapping, and the colors aren't very harmonious- actually they're kind of all over the place. The title "SERENITY" is also RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. Which is often a big no no composition wise unless you know what you're doing. (this person doesn't seem too)
I think with a bit of tweaking this could be a decent cover, but I'm not really sure who approved it or what kind of artistic background they have.

I hope they change this cover before its released.

And people need to start writing some reviews! Only one person has reviewed it so far and he gave it a lousy three stars!!

My only real objection to the cover art is that Summer's eyes are brown.

We all seem to be passionate about this subject, and pretty much in accord as well. This brings to mind the horrible design of puppet Angel. We all freaked out and wrote emails and they responded (not to my satisfaction, I won't buy the thing, it still looks nothing like the one on the show), but they heard us. I wonder if a big enough uproar will have an effect here as well.
It couldn't hoit.

But, you never know, Amazon is just giving an estimate and in the past, I've gotten things earlier than the estimated date. I wasn't supposed to receive the Visual Companion Guide until after the movie premiered yet I got it the week before and the last Harry Potter book I got delivered on it's release date even though I did the "Super saver" shipping for both of those items too. Amazon might make a push to get all their pre-Christmas orders out but don't want to guarantee anything.
I just wrote my review and gave it 5 stars - probably won't show up until tomorrow. I skimmed that review that gave it three stars and don't know why he did that. It seems like it was more a dig at Universal because he thinks they'll be releasing other versions later to get more money. His review seemed to really like the movie.

No. Damn it, no.
As some Whedonesquers may have noted, I've not been shy about shelling out for Buffy/Angel/Firefly merchandise. My wife says I should have a spreadsheet for all the DVDs I've bought and sent out as loaners.
But even the discount rate for a single movie is ridiculously high. I know it's the going rate, but that doesn't mean I'll pay it.

Why is there only the one critic thing on there also. Here I was thinking it was only just the UK one, but now it's on Amazon.
Oh I really really hope Mca (Universal) pay attention to us

So I see your point. One way or another I'll be buying it.

I wouldn't be surprised if DVD prices do start to rise with the weak Box Office and movies not bringing in the crowds like they used to.

Amazon is indeed making it hard to find Serenity via a search. What's with the gobbledygook letter combinations after the title in the listing?

We get a lot of those dvd details as automated release lists from a third party. Search issues should be fixed soon thanks to relevance rankings.

I don't get the whole buying on UMD thing. I have a PSP and with PSPWare it only takes less than half an hour to get my dvds on to a memory stick. Easy peasy.

As I understand it, in the PSP, if you have a video on your memorystick it doesn't play in full resolution (480x292 ?). As in the video is pixelated etc. Sony explains it as protecting their UMD movies.
