I don't understand the price discrepancy with BD at all. These are the MSRPs according to Amazon and not what Amazon sells them for. I want to compare what the publisher believes it's worth: $40 The Sarah Connor Chronicles $40 Pushing Daisies $70 Heroes season 2 $80 Smallville Season 7 $90 Firefly $97 Lost Season 3 $100 Band of Brothers $129 Sopranos Season 6 part 1
This reminds me of how the X-Files were the only TV show for $100 because they were among the first shows available on DVD so there were no price reference. They picked their price and ran with it.
I guess this is a long way of saying I won't be buying this for $90, or even $60, dollars. Someday it'll be $30 and then I'll bite. Until then, I'll live with my DVD copy that still works just fine.
What I don't get is why people are always so annoyed at the MSRP, when we ALL KNOW that you never pay that, especially on Amazon. I pre-ordered this the day I found out about it for $62.95.
You are clearly NOT a bigger firefly fan than most if you think the complete series in HD isn't worth $90. That is the bargain of the century, I would gladly pay double that without hesitation.
“Getting too close completely blurred what we saw to the point of incomprehension, but again, this shows a whole heap of potential that's fascinating to us.”

So why is the MSRP of this thing $90 when you can frequently buy the SD version for $15?
I love Firefly more than most, but even if I had a BD player, there's no way in hell I'm paying $90 for the set. Even half that is really pushing it.
