Set 500 years in the future, in the wake of a universal civil war, FIREFLY centers on the crew of Serenity, a small transport spaceship that doesn't have a planet to call home.

Just spoke with Megan at the Fox Consumer Hotline 888-223-2369.

She said that it is Anamorphic Widescreen 1.78:1 and read that off a copy of the sleeve.

I also emailed the 2 addresses on the release suggesting them that they fix it and send it back out. I told them that orders may be cancelled if its believed to be full screen. I considered it with the hope that a widescreen would eventualy come out.

Wow, not only did they get the widescreen wrong but:

Quote:

Ø Serenity Part 1 & 2 10/20/02

It was 12/20, not 10/20

Quote:

Ø Featurettes: Making of "Here How it Was” and “Serenity: The Tenth Character”

I believe that should be Here's How it Was

And the Making of really doesnt belong since there was nothing by either of those names to show how they were made.

I know that the DVDs are being released by a different division of Fox, but looks like the Home Video dept is just as brainless.

Sorry, in a nitpicky mood.
