1. The Sopranos - The Complete Fifth Season June 7th, 2005
2. Star Wars Trilogy September 21st, 2004
3. The Eagles Farewell Tour 1 - Live from Melbourne June 14th, 2005
4. Hitch June 14th, 2005
5. Firefly - The Complete Series December 9th, 2003

This keeps getting better and better. Can it reach #1? I'm having a good feeling. It has now been in the Top 10 for the past several days. At least five from my count maybe one more before I noticed. I think this is a good sign for Serenity. A very good sign.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

Everyone who saw the screening without having previously seen the series must be rushing out to buy the DVDs! Shiny.

Isn't SciFi in the US running the Firefly episodes once a week? That's probably the reason for it selling so well at the moment. It looks like a lot of people don't have the patience! :)

SciFi isn't starting to air Firefly until July 15. Just imagine what will happen then if the numbers are already this high.

Is it the 15th? I thought they were starting on July 22nd. Have I got that wrong?

I'm almost sure it's the 15th, since that's when they're starting the new seasons of SG, Atlantis, and BSG.

That makes sense, then. I don't know why I thought it was a week later. Thanks for the heads-up - I would have missed the first week!

Hey, I have another question. It's absolutely fantastic that the dvds are selling so well right now. Does anyone remember how high they got on the Amazon list when they were first released? I remember them being as high as 10th or 11th, but I don't remember them ever being as high as 5th, even when they first came out. However, my memory (obviously) has been faulty lately. Does anybody else have a better recollection of that?

Unless they moved it up a week, the 1st episode is July 22nd, 7pm.

They did pretty good in pre-ordering (getting up to #1) but your memory is spot on when it comes to after release.

The early screenings have been great for the dvd sales. I hope most of these sales represent new viewers who are also going to help make the BDM a success.

The question on my mind is how many total units have been sold, and how do the total sales compare to those of other DVDs? It would be nice to be able to refer to the "#4 highest selling DVD of all time" or "#2 highest selling TV on DVD box set of all time" or something like that. Does anybody know how this information can be obtained?

Hmmm. It's now at #7. And there's a middling-to-bad review by someone with the last name of Burgess. I just wrote a review to help push Burgess's review off the page but mine hasn't posted yet (at least the last I looked). Anyone else who wants to review the Firefly DVDs glowingly - now's the time!

Also, what's up with the endlessly static 1,359 review count at Amazon? Reviews are added (I see new ones all the time) and that 1,359 number never changes. Weird.
