Now the series is being made available in HD. Twentieth Century Fox Television has remastered the show’s 35mm print to 1080i high definition for a Sept. 24 debut on UHD, a network spokesperson confirmed.br> The unveiling of a widescreen HD version format of a short-lived 2002 series is as unusual as the program’s resurrection as a cult hit and theatrical movie. Typically a series is either shot in widescreen high definition and broadcast that way, or shot on video or film in standard 4:3 aspect ratio.
But "Firefly" was shot on film (which can be converted to HD) and in widescreen, two years before Fox started broadcasting HD programming.

I love Firefly!
I love Usenet!
I think it's considered to be ok to get the HD version, if you have the available retail version. But I couldn't say for sure.
Of course that would mean buying an HD version when it becomes available. Oh well, the more profit Firefly/Serenity sees, the better the chance that there will be more made.
Right now a "glitch-free" version of the theatrical movie is going up on a.b.hdtv... I hope the pilot makes it up there, when the time comes. Sometimes the most obvious things never show up. But then, hey, its Firefly, they're geeks too... It must happen... it has to...
