Is this a good deal?

Ok so I was looking around to see if I can find the first season of Firefly , since I heard its supposed to be pretty good. I saw Serenity the movie which is based off of (or something like) the T.V show, and I thought it was pretty good. So anyways I can get the complete series for around $40, is it really worth it or wait a bit?

For discussion value have you ever found a really good deal, or thought you did and it turned out to be crap?

Worth every penny, oh and there is no second season. It was cancelled after about 13 or 14 shows, because Fox are idiots.

There are very few that would say that its crap, if anything Serenity is crap in comparison.

I brought the complete series recently (only because I never heard of it until people on the escapist mentioned it) for 12 pounds and that was more than worth it, awesome series.

the series is amazing but i would have thought you could get it for less than that. they made the film because the series was cancelled. they put 2 or 3 series worth of stuff into the film

EDIT: just had a look and it's on Amazon for £9.99 (which is about $15-ish, not sure of current exchange rate)

Worth it mate. Get it now. It's the best current-gen sci-fi series you'll find.

As to your question, I got a good deal once; I bought a 260 GTX graphics card for my PC for, I think that would be 300$ at the point of release (in Denmark prices are high on hardware), but due to some error in the payment system I was never billed.

Even though I wrote to their company (in fear of getting fined), they told me that it was their mistake and that since I had been honest about it, they'd do nothing further.

Now whether or not that is actually a "deal" it's still the best materialistic item I have gotten for nothing.
