New commentaries, a cast reunion, and high def! Woo hoo! Current street date is November 11th, 2008. So far. Preorder it at Amazon!

The Firefly Blu-Ray DVD set has been pushed back to 2009, but they are definitely still coming, according to Digital Bits.

So you have a bit more time to preorder it from Amazon and get the advance price. If you wanted. If, you know, you liked quality in high def, or something. Just saying.

This has been reported around the place before, since Jewel Staite spilled the beans about an upcoming Firefly DVD release during her talk at the Supernova Pop Culture Expo in Australia recently. But TVShowsonDVD.com has gotten verification from FOX that it is indeed happening, and it will be for Blu-Ray disc format.

Jewel mentioned new commentaries for a special box set, but no other details have been released so far. Keep watching!

Dammit. Now I have to buy a Blu-Ray player…

Spotted at Amazon: a listing for a Blu-ray edition of the Firefly DVDs.

It's notable that there is no price, ship date, cover image or actual information available, so this is very probably Amazon being careful. But there is a place where you can ask to be notified when such a thing is available, and it might be interesting if they suddenly had a few hundred thousand people ask for it, don't you think?
