I just went on the Universal site and tried to click the pre-order button by it and it said that it was discontinued
Just too early maybe?
Well this works out great since I’ll be able to take that day off to celebrate!
awesome news…not as awesome as if, say, Serenity 2 was being released in August, but still awesome
AWESOME!!!! it comes out the day after my b-day! SWEET
Serenity SE direct from Universal! Wanna order now….
While I will definitely still be getting my copy, I’m not sure (other than the artwork and commentary and the River Tam Sessions) what additional material there is over and above the Australia copy I had imported….
I think that’s about it, but most people didn’t get the Australian version so it’ll all be new.
Me, I’d buy it just for the commentary alone.
Yeah, it’s basically the Oz edition, minus the Joss Q&A and plus the cast commentary, R. Tam Sessions, and the Sci-Fi special.
Presuming the above list is accurate once Uni itself announces the features somewhere
I got to pre-order Serenity Collector’s Edition Direct From Universal!
Whoo-hoo!
Please be good key art. Please.
