Amazing series to showcase the 60" 1080p you picked up on Black Friday.
Title says DVD but content says BluRay
Is there a catch here?
This isn't the BBC series. It's the Discovery Channel series. They worked together to produce the series, but they have different narrators.
BBC: David Attenborough, who is a world-renowned nature program narrator for decades. He sounds like he's just telling stories and facts he cares about.
Discovery Channel's version: Sigorny Weaver narrates. In my mind, she sounds more like she's reading from a script...they both do, but she just SOUNDS like she's reading from a script.
However...while I can't stand Sigorny Weaver's narration, the Discovery Channel version of the BluRay does include the extra behind-the-scenes footage for each episode that the BBC version lacks.
Lastly, I make no apologies for my spelling. :-p
Thanks for the info. I just did some research on the differences from the two and some say that the DC version is displayed in 1080i (shows up a little softer) than the BBC version which is 1080p. Not sure if I'd be able to tell the difference in the two on a 40" TV.
Also, the DC version has "dynamic music" as opposed to the original BBC version. Not sure I like the sound of that.
I ordered one for $24 + $4 shipped.
I have this and it looks really good on a 50 wide screen TV. Sigorny Weaver does narrates and she does a wonderful job.
