Back in April, Amazon had one of their great sales going on for all things related to Joss Whedon‘s Firefly. At the time (those deals are no longer active), the complete series on DVD was going for $20, the Blu-ray for $40, Serenity for $9 and $15 respectively. All great deals for fans of the science fiction/western series that was canceled all-too-soon.
Now Amazon is out to top that deal with a brand new Spotlight deal. If you do not own it already, you can acquire the Firefly Complete Series ON Blu-ray for twenty-eight freakin’ dollars. Yes, that’s $28 — $62 and 61.9% off the standard $89.98 price tag for all of your favorite stories and characters in that one glorious season in the very highest of quality visual home-viewing format possible!
How could one resist?! The only catch here is that it doesn’t specify how long the deal is running for.
Even better — the more deals like this that Amazon and others do, the more the series and movies sell, and the more trouble Fox has ignoring that never-ending demand of the fans to bring the show back. That’s always the best selling point for me!

Just picked it up. The only downside is that the shipping window says it will ship in 11-14 days. Maybe they are running low on stock.
