 Best thing ever... April 3, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Nature is the absolute perfect thing for showing off the glory and splendor of HD, and no-one makes better nature documentaries than David Attenborough. I've only seen this on regular tv so far and i was blown away, can't wait for this. Oh, and a hint for people buying here in the UK, Customs' charges are free up to a certain amount if you are buying it as a present for someone else, then I think it's still cheaper after that amount too. Combine that with the fact that you can mark your packages on Amazon to be labelled as gifts...
IM GLUED TO MY TV!!! April 2, 2007

I can't get enough of this show! It is truly one of the best documentaries ever. Hands down. I think Steve Irwin would be proud.
Now I haven't watched the Blu-ray Version. I do have a Samsung DLP HDTV with 1080P resoltion. I have been watching the series on Discovery HD Theater. I am blown away!
I watch everything on High def. 1080 or nothing!!! And by far, this is the best HD programming I have seen. I would give ESPN second, and CBS HDTV third.
Look if you are fortunate to have a PS3 or Blu-ray player and a 1080P or 1080i TV, YOU MUST GET THIS!
 Is BBC Series the same as Discovery Chanel Series April 2, 2007
The first couple of episodes on The Discovery Channel look wonderful. Is this the same series? Discovery is narrated by Sigourney Weaver and this BBC series seems to be narrated by David Attenborough. I don't really care who's talking, but I'm would like to make sure the footage is the same before I purchase this.
Perfect series....with one very minor flaw April 1, 2007

First off, let me say Thank you to Amazon for clarifying that the great David Attenborough is the narrator for this series. No Attenborough would have meant no purchase on my part. Simply put the most amazing documentary on life and animals and the world around us that I have ever seen. The clarity is simply breathtaking(and that was on my tv brodcast which was in 720P...the HD transfers are in 1080p!!!!).A huge tahnak you to the creators and producers for doing this for people like myself and many others who care deeply about the world around us.
My one minor complaint has to do with the fact that on the HD transfers, there is absent the supplemental material that is present on the standard defintion release. There is no 110 minutes of behind the scenes footage of what took place on these excavations to these wonderous places or interviews with the people, Attenborough or anyone for that matter. The other special feature not found on either the Blu-Ray or HD-DVD transfer is Planet Earth: The Future, which is a 150 minute documentary(Shot entirely in high defintion mind you) which chronicles how the whole series was created, and how we can continue to preserve our earth so that we may continue to have wonderous documentaries like this for our children's children. Finally, amazingly there are charging the HD customers around $25 MORE for a product that has LESS content than on the standard defintion release.
Otherwise highly reccomended presentation that is extremely addictive and immeasureably sensational from the first scene to the last. Its simply amazes me the beauty of God's creations.

Having seen three of the shows on Discovery, our only question is which version of the DVD set to get; it is that visually amazing! Question: I have heard that HD DVDs have a "flip side" for normal DVD players; can anyone confirm this.
