    got one, though I still wish this was the BBC version... The image should be the same, so I don't think its gonna be much difference.

    The difference is between Sigourney Weaver, who knows how to read a script, and David Attenborough, who lives, eats, and breathes this stuff. I still remember his old TV series "Life on Earth," where he was actually on the scene...

    i really enjoy buying up all of these hd dvd movies for about a third of the price of the blu ray versions. too bad hd dvd lost. i own both and hd dvd is a far more stable and better product.

    Go to local Frys store. They have it for $24.99 BBC version.
    My friend works at frys and I got their employee discount, and final price came out to be $17.50. Sweet!
