Has anyone seen this? I don't have HD but I still wouldn't mind checking this show out. Is it still worth watching if I don't have HD?

[GunnerX]

It's an amazing series that should be seen in either HD or SD. The cinematography is excellent. The HD DVD set is coming out next month.

Why is content available to UK residents only?
Broadband content is expensive for the BBC to stream. The BBC has therefore decided to limit access to the BBC broadband content to people in the UK in order to ensure best value for the UK licence fee. In addition, there are often broadcast rights restrictions which means that content intended for a UK audience should not be made available overseas.

Regrettably we are therefore unable to offer you broadband content at this time. We would like to apologise for any disappointment. You could, however, refer to the BBC World Service and to other BBC associated international services (e.g.

Not good. They should not put a levy education. The BBC has consistently put out quality documentaries. I will surely buy this set when it comes out.

Amazing documentary...it took over 2000 hours of shooting to complete. Quite possibly one of the best documentaries we'll ever see of our planet.

I was afraid I was going to have to purchase the MS HD-DVD drive. Platform agnostic, but you know... frugalness ownz me.

I thought this was going to be on the HD discovery channel but I can't find it.

Does amazon charge your credit card at the time of order? or at the time when they ship your item out?

Amazon doesn't charge until it actually ships.

Beware though if you order one of the high-def versions. They don't come with any of the special features that the regular DVD version does, including 110 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage & Planet Earth: The Future, a 150-minute companion series.

This series is currently airing on the U.S. Discovery Channel (narrated by Sigourney Weaver instead of Richard Attenborough although the DVD version will be by Attenborough). It aired on CBC & CBC Newsworld back in January and won't be airing on our Discovery Channel.

The various trailers are up on YouTube (just type in "discovery planet earth") and they are awesome (the great white shark leaping into the air to capture its prey is jaw-dropping). I can't wait to get the DVD next month.

I believe CBC showed some (or perhaps all) of the series on sundays. It was also shown on CBC's HD channel as well..but didnt really notice if it was broadcasted in HD quality on the HD channel.

[Brownbear]

I watched all these episodes, each one is uhhh, greater than the other, IN AN EQUAL WAY (its just that damn good). The footage in this series is amazing and worth definitely worth watching, even if you dont have HD [like me]. I found myself constantly rewinding and pausing/slow motioning parts because some scenes are just overwhelming (especially the aerial views!!!). Each scene in this series is amazing. I HIGHLY recommend you, or anyone interested, to watch it.

AND, its even more amazing after a few tokes :twisted: :D

Why are you watching Oprah? You're suppose to be men.

This coming from a Growing Pains fan? :D

[Carpe Diem]

I'm all over this like Oprah on a cupcake.

if anyone here has an american friend or an american address then you can use these 3 coupons and get it from warner on hd-dvd or blu-ray for cheap. $57.56US shipped. Some people were charged tax to certain states.

That is for the non hd/blu ray edition.The set is worth $65 canadian if you buy right from amazon.ca.Your way would be $65 plus other fees not worth it at all.

[Skidz]

I notice FS pre-order HD DVD (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=L&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FSM2128749&catid=)/BR (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=L&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FSM2128752&catid=) for $118 while BB has it for $90 HD DVD (http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=L&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFSM2128749&catid=24113)/BR (http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=L&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFSM2128752&catid=24103)

[hightechfan]

actually you're wrong, you can use the coupons on the sd dvd, hd-dvd, and blu-ray versions. The hd-dvd and blu-ray versions are CDN$ 87.49 at amazon.ca.

MY point was it makes no sense at all to the american route.IT would end up cost you more for the sd dvd.

[hightechfan]

It makes sense if you want either the HD-DVD or Blu-ray version

Your still going to be paying $80.

[lindmar]

This is a totally amazing show.
BEST thing I've watched on TV in many years.

[Rosico]

it's been out for a while now actually on torrents - great BBC TV. Worth it to get the discs so you can see all the other extras. I liked the UK voice overs much more than the US ones ...

I'm assuming the UK version has Attenborough and the NA has Sigourney Weaver?

[Irb]

I'm assuming the UK version has Attenborough and the NA has Sigourney Weaver?Why her? They should've used Keifer's voice.

[Emancipated]

Why her? They should've used Keifer's voice.

She has done a few documentaries before and has likely saved a few whales in her time.
