The bailout continues. ShopPBS.org has the Planet Earth: Complete Collection on defunct HD-DVD for $30 - automatic 15% off Earth Day promo - 15% code WELCOME15 + $5 shipping = $27. This release includes all the episodes (4 DVDs) from the original BBC production. This is the preferred version narrated by the British Dude and not the Alien Woman. [Info]

    The HD DVD version doesn't come with the extra "making of" section after each episode, but the quality is amazing.

    I have the standard DVD set and netflixed one of these. I played them simultaneously and alt-tabbed back and forth, it's ridiculous.

    I have a little problem.

    I am 1/3rd Indian, 1/3rd Mexican, 1/3rd American, and 1/3rd Redneck. So sometimes I am smart, sometimes hard working, sometimes lazy, and sometimes I do stupid stuff, like buy HD-DVD products.

    and don't forget #28 to give it 133%. boondoggle.

    Maybe Ben knows something we don't. After all, if it's a "bailout", that means we're bringing HD-DVD back from the abyss. So what Ben's really saying is that HD-DVD is making a comeback

    I can't remember where I read it, but there was a review of the differences in video quality between the BBC "British Guy" HD-DVD version of this, and teh Discovery "Alien Lady" version of this, and it was determinded the video quality on the BBC version was better for alot of scenes as the two used different encoding techniques, etc.

    same here. I called customer support to verify that it was in fact the BBC edition, since Discovery channel was mentioned on the web page. They said, yes it was...
