Any Deals for Serenity (Collector's Edition)?

Best deal I seen is familyvideo.com at $17.74 with $.99 cents shipping. New customer coupon brings it to $13.73, $5 off order NEWMEM5F.

Are you just spam from that site because didn't you also post in the TMNT?

Nope, Look before you leap...

I had already looked around for Serenity and it was the best deal I saw. I passed on it since I already on Serenity and don't see any reason to buy the collectors edition...
 
Oh thank god!!!! I hadn't even known that there was a special edition coming out! I had heard rumors for awhile, but that's just it, rumors. I just checked it up on BB.com and I can't wait!!!! I own both the HD and regular version of it, but to get more for that movie and/or to get some of the features the other versions have (Aussie version, etc.) is awesome.

The new extras are very nice, but the main reason to get this release is Joss said a sequel depends on the sales of the collectors edition.

There goes my money. Anything to get more 'verse.
 
There's no way we would ever get a theatrical sequel, but I could see a revival like Futurama or Babylon 5 being a possibility.

It won't ever come back in a TV show form but I can see some Stargate style DVD movies. They could easily make a few movies or several "lost episode" for 38 million that the first movie cost. Plus the studio should see if can make it's money back on just the fanbase alone if them spend less.
 
OP: Just wait for the Sunday ads to be posted in advance by Speedy next week. I'm sure there'll be some decent deals at CC, BB, or Target.

Not sure we will be seeing speedy ads this week. DVDTalk is having some legal issues with Circuit City over the ads being publish. Speedy posts the ads there and here. There is a thread about it...

That's insane! "We don't want our ads posted that will be on in a week anyways". It's like when a company takes down movie trailers off youtube, it's an ad, what's the issue?

The youtube is a poor compairson since copyright laws require that holders enforce the copyrights...if they don't, they can be stripped of the copyright...so it may be the baby with the bathwater at times but that's the way the law works....A better example is this.....

Say you had a machine that tell you baseball scores for games for the next or two week...Ignoring the opportunities for gains via gambling (a la back to future 2), the teams and TV networks would be rather upset that attendance/ratings would be fall on the games that are known losers. The prices on items isn't too much different than the baseball scores...While most new stuff falls in a fairly narrow price band, stuff for older items is much more varied....If you knew that TV show boxset X was on sale next week, you would just wait for it, even though prior to knowing this, you were prepared to pay much more today for it...That's lost revenue and profits for retailers...yes they are putting out ads saying the price, and yes they are perfectly willing to sell the items at that price during the sales period but they don't want that knowledge to be out weeks in advance since it will impact buying behavior prior to sale starting. Given that they are spending millions and millions to print and distribute the circulars, they might feel that, you know, the circulars should be working for their benefit and not to their detriment.
 
yeah but most stores have a 30 day pricematch policy so an ad running a week early should have any real effect... I think. Plus, I would think that most of these items wouldn't otherwise sell unless they were on sale...

Yes, but more than not, people don't take advantage of those policies and the stores don't want to lose the foot traffic that they would lose if people went somewhere else to buy it cheaper.
 
I wonder if the PS3 price drop was responsible, every gaming website credited speedy and CAG for the source. Sony was not happy and evenmentioned it on their E3 conference as a joke.
 
I already get pissed at collector's editions being released way late, and now they're doing it after HD releases? WTF

Sold and guaranteed.
 
[quote name='rockepidemic']I'm very pleased to see that we're getting a proper CE in the States. I had been envying the Australian release for quite some time.[/quote]

Same here.
 
I've been wanting a special/collector's edition for quite a while. I know I'll be double-dipping on this.

I'd wait to see what type of deals there are when it comes out, but cheapest I saw was at "HotMovieSale.com" from my Froogle search...
 
Is there any reason to get this if you buy the HD-DVD version? I mean are the extras on the HD-DVD version or not?
 
We all realize that they made a CE because the first one did so well, right?

The movie BARELY made money in theaters. The original DVD was barebones because they didn't believe it would be worth the time, money, and effort to include anything beyond a director's commentary and a few featurettes.

The CE is an attempt to give the movie better treatment, and give the fans more stuff. Yeah, they're glad to get more money from you, but it's not the same kind of double-dip as Sin City, where they rush the barebones when everybody KNOWS a deluxe package is in the works.

That's not it at all.

They saw the fans are insane and that they could redo the DVD five six times and each time go "If it sells well we will make sequels!!!".

I don't understand why they just give them 40 million dollars again and just make two "movies" with that money. It would easily make money then.
 
Anyway, I got into the series as I worked for JP Bernardo's parents. (Assistant editor for the series, effects editor for the movie, I think).

Anyway, gonna trade in my Widescreen standard editon into FYE and pick up the CE there. Thanks for the heads up OP!

Still have some flippage credit...

no, that is trademark law, you cannot be stripped of a copyright unless it expires.
 
[quote name='Nemo_Hyde']Best Buy has some exclusive comic book w/ purchase. Any idea what's up with that?[/QUOTE]


might be the Firefly comic that Joss did that explains what happened between the show and the movie

How did you find that out? I'm lost without Speedy's ads.

Wasn't it three different comics?
 
Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be getting a sequel no matter how well the DVD sales go...

“There’s no sequel, no secret project regarding Serenity or somesuch and I’m not even sure how anyone thought there was talk there,” wrote Whedon. “So let’s put that to bed and smother it with a pillow.”
 
That's an old quote from Joss. This is the newest one:

So give me hope for a Serenity II
JW: Hope for it probably rests with this DVD. (Collectors Edition)
. . .
So then you're saying we've got a chance?
JW: Well it's probably not being discussed in boardrooms right now, but the fact of the matter is if it makes enough money sooner or later they say "hey, this is money!" Also there are paradigms that are much cheaper, it doesn't have to be enormous. But on the other hand I'm happy to say all of my actors are working very hard. It's not the same situation where we all threw in for pennies because we had to finish telling that story. Now that situation might be harder to bring about.
