Ooh. All you browncoats, format hounds and Firefly fans out there, word has gotten out that Fox Entertainment is in the planning stages to release a Blu-ray box set of the still popular television series from Joss Whedon. Jewel "Kaylee" Staite was at the Supernova Convention in Melbourne last week when she dropped this bit of juicy news...

"I just heard that they're re-releasing Firefly, a special edition of Firefly in a box set. They actually asked me if I was able to come down to L.A. and do a commentary in the Spring at some point. So I think that would be fun."

Since this was picked up by TVShowsOnDVD yesterday they have confirmed with Fox that indeed they are planning to release Firefly in the Blu-ray format. This marks the first time that the series will be available to us in an HD format. Serenity was released on the now spurned HD DVD format.
