Amazon.ca has fixed the price now to a whopping $244 canadian and changed the title to remove any mention of how many discs it is. Now, we just have the long wait to see if it goes through.

Digital Eyes has it up for pre-order at $144.95
http://www.digitaleyes.net/details.c...info=FXD031290
Digital Eyes Coupons EXP 8/15:
4TH2005 $7 off $75 Order
JULY2005 $5 off $60 Order
PREJUL2005 $10 off $125 Order
Recent complete series prices on eBay range from $160 to $250 for used sets.
I would only get this to conserve shelf space, so I'll wait to see what the package looks like.

FWIW, I agree that re-releasing entire sets with new bonuses is generally a bad business practice and a great way to insult the loyal fans who've bought each individual release. BUT, at least in this case, the complete set is at a steep discount and affordable for fans to sell their prior sets in order to pick up.
I think Digital Eyes' deal is pretty good, but I was nervous about being able to sell my sets reasonably. I have to report, though, that I've sold seasons 3, 4, 6, & 7 in less than 24 hours online at or above $30 each. So, the good news is that demand appears to still be good for the season sets if you act now.
I checked out Ebay - at least at this point, the thought of selling all seasons together doesn't look like it's getting as quick (or as profitable) a response.

Oh well, I guess I'll keep my original season boxes.

I am seriously considering picking this up. Couple things though.. I've never seen an episode of it, and if I do get it, it's the debate of online purchase for possibly cheaper but hassle of return if a disc is bad or instore purchase.
My wife said she saw it a few times and it was good, and I am totally in love with Firefly.. AND $140 is a damn good price for seven seasons of a show...

As long as that packaging fits height-wise on my shelf, it looks fine. For anyone who has the R2 edition: what is the height of that box, compared to a normal-sized DVD?
