Planet Earth Blu-Ray $29.99 US, DVD $24.99 @ DiscoveryChannelStore.com (US)

comment

Right now (and today only), you can pick up Planet Earth on Blu-Ray for $34.99 and the DVD version for $24.99 US at the DiscoveryChannelStore.com (you buy the Blu-ray version from the DVD version product page).

If you sign up with an email address to receive special offers (on the top left) and you will receive a coupon code good (EML2008) for $5 off orders of $25 or more. You can then bring the price of the Blu-Ray version down to $29.99 US. Alternatively, if you spend over $50 before shipping, you will receive a $10 discount automatically. However, this discount cannot be combined with the $5 off code.

This is the Discovery Channel version narrated by Sigourney Weaver. Some may prefer the original BBC narration done by Attenborough, but this is still a good price for this critically acclaimed documentary. Shipping costs are a little bit steep -- about $10 to Toronto, but they aren't steep enough to taint the deal!

- Sounds fun - is there a difference between the two? The BBC is the one that is considered a better and more vivid?
- Mystix
- The narrator is different too.

  For today only, the Discovery Store has Planet Earth DVD for 24.99 or the BR version for $10 more. Shipping to Canada is $10. The only downside is that this is the Discovery Channel version, not the BBC version.

- one of the comments on the discovery page say the blu ray version is not 1080p? does anyone know if that is true?

  I remember reading that, for some reason, the case/box state 1080i while the video is in fact 1080p

- paid 60 CAD for a sealed BB version on eBay, wanted the BBC version specifically. However, I think this is a good deal too, I think the actual content of the narration is same, it is just Sigourney Weaver instead of David Attenborough.

- For more on why David Attenborough is the best for these sorts of things, check out his analysis of a Lyre Bird:

  In my opinion, there is no one better to accompany the amazing footage that Planet Earth contains.
  
  Great price but the difference kills it for me. It'd be like having someone other than Morgan Freeman narrate The Shawshank Redemption.

- Bleh, Sigourney Weaver No buy for me!
- mart242
- So is the sigourney weaver version that bad? Or still watchable? 40$US seems decent..
- whampoa
- Why settle for second best, when you can have the real deal with Sir David Attenborough (BBC narrator).

- Should be mentioned that if you spend over $50, you also receive $10 off (automatically). This is part of the DiscoveryChannelStore.com's holiday promotions, but it cannot be combined with the $5 off $25.
  
  Still, if you're ordering 2 copies of the Blu-ray version for example, the order total comes to $69.98 shipped, compared to $75 if you use the $5 off code.

  I can't get the automatic $10 off to work. Any tricks?

  Yes, I read the review of Discovery Channel HD of this set, it is 1080i, instead of BBC version 1080p. That's y I avoid to order it.

  The Discovery edition:
  -has Sigorney Weaver narrating
  -90 minutes less footage spread out over 11 episodes (because there was originally commercials)
  
  Still a good price if you don't mind the different narrator, especially for the blu-ray edition.
