Hey Everyone,.. I just joined, but I have been reading the threads on here for a couple months now. I finally got my email from Amazon that I can now pre-order Firefly again on their website. I missed it last time around, but I got it this time and just wanted to share that with everyone if you hadn't pre-ordered yet anywhere else.

And it's a couple of bucks cheaper now. Better reorder and cancel the original order...

I also found it for preorder on DVD Empire for about the same price, and they usually ship *earlier* than amazon.com does.

Thanks for the info! Should I reorder if I already ordered before? I know it's a couple bucks cheaper, but it was cheap at twice the price to begin with. Hmmmm Firefly.

Viva Firefly!

I missed it the first time, too. But now it's mine, it's ... my precious.

Anyway, check the sales ranking. Back up to number 5 from 7000+. Pretty good, I'd say.

Pat.

Got my email today. Has anybody on here had any experience of ordering stuff from Amazon.com, to be shipped to the UK? Alternatively, can we order through amazon.co.uk?

Also, do we have to pay customs charges on top of the shipping?

Roll on December 9, and yahoo! Number 5!!!!

I've ordered from amazon.com to the UK before. According to my checkout, shipping for the Firefly dvd set will cost $6.98, for the slowest delivery (11-18 days). Kinda expensive, but I don't care.... I'm gonna own Firefly on dvd!

Yea! These pre-order figures along with the sales for Futurama and Family Guy should eventually prove to the suits at Fox Television that they have no clue about their audience. A destruction of the Nielson system would be welcome too.

You can't order through Amazon.co.uk, but your UK Amazon account should still be valid on Amazon.com

Amazon.com are pretty good at getting stuff delivered quickly. I've just placed my order and, by Amazon's calculations, my DVDs should arrive just in time for Christmas! Shiny!

No customs charges - or at least, I've never paid any!

What the go with "region codes" on the DVD's? They appear to be only region 1, but I am in Australia and we are region 4 Can I do something to my set top DVD player to make them work or will I be restricted to my DVD player in PC?

To make a long story short, Cal ?

Yes.. but it involves technical knowledge and some criminal activity, since it's technically illegal to "crack" a DVD (even one YOU BOUGHT!!) for use one your own player.

This is part of the whole media-control ballyhoo that's destroying the entertainment industry over here, really - so I am not 100% sure it's considered the next best thing to a hanging offense over on your side of the water the way it is here.

Good luck,

Multi-region DVD players are becoming more widely available, in fact amazon.co.uk currently have a special offer of 50 pounds for one.

We could wait months for a region 2 (UK) or region 4 version, if it ever comes out at all.

Thanks for the replies to my post - I'll order from amazon.com.

I told my mom in law she could take back (or KEEP) ALL my christmas presents - she ordered me Firefly on Amazon!!! YAYAY!!!

I am sure everyone who reads my livejournal must be sick to DEATH of my going on about firefly.

Anyone wants my firefly icons, you can find them on www.shadesiren.tk !!

I have never ordered anything on Amazon, but mom in law says they are great - that's the only reason I got to order them.. I hope she doesn't REALLY expect me to wait till xmas day to watch them....
