Firefly is coming out on Blu-ray this fall!

I would venture a guess that Firefly is the highest selling single-season series ever. I blame poor marketing and lack of sense on Fox's part (they didn't even play the series in order). Despite being canceled, the series gained enough of a following to deem it worthy of becoming a major motion picture, two successful comic book mini-series (with another on the way), a role-playing game, an upcoming MMORPG (though that'll probably fall through), a cruise, a bi-annual ball, and rumors of a second movie (unconfirmed, but highly welcomed). What does it take to get it through FOX's executives to put this series back on the air?

Needless to say, I think I found a reason to get a PS3 for Christmas. :-) What's not to love? Spaceships, cowboys, companions, and stick'n it to da man underdogs.

Oh, for those interested, Amazon has it up for pre-order for $62.95. It's due out on November 11. More info here.
