The musical chairs being played by the production company behind the Firefly Blu-Ray release may finally be over.
We first heard it was September, then Digital Bits reported that 2009 would be the soonest we saw it, and now Fox has announced the official release date for the highly anticipated complete series in high definition:
November 11th.
It’s available now for pre-order on Amazon.com and the new features including in this three-disc set sounds pretty awesome, especially the all-new cast reunion interviews and commentaries.
It just might be enough to get me back looking for a PS3!

Oh glorious blu-ray.
We may have to make a trip to Best Buy this weekend… Oh, the lure of Blu-Ray.
Really?
Yes… I think it's time for everyone to stop hearing the Mike rumors about a Blu-Ray player and instead moving on to the Mike joys of owning a Blu-Ray player. I know I'm ready.
To steal from Jerry Maguire….”Jina…you're the sh*t!”
I dont get it, do they do new season? Restart the show?
Nope, this is just the re-release of the series published on Blu-Ray for the very first time.
“It just might be enough to get me back looking for a PS3!”….. might?!?!?! I thought the quote was somewhere along the lines of “When LOTR or Firefly come to Blu-Ray is when I'll get a a Blu-ray player”…. it was either that or transformers I cant recall
(which is being released on Blu-ray as well… =)
Not Transformers
But yes…Jina told me to get one, so now I need to get one. I just wish there was some super-secret, smoking deal to get a brand new one for $300…
[...] Firefly on Blu-Ray, here I come! [...]
