Discovery.com is selling the HD-DVD version of Planet Earth for $29.99 with free shipping. :D

Yes, but that's Discovery's edited version that was aired on TV. That's not the original BBC version.

What's the difference? I haven't seen it at all. Is the Blu-ray version the same?

Nevermind, I just read the differences on slickdeals. Almost an hour of content is cut out of the Discovery Channel version and the picture quality is worse. :(

It's awesome on BLU-GAY.  I am up to Caves.  Planet Earf is a PS3 killer app.

Do you have the complete BBC version or the Discovery Channel version?

I don't wanna spend that much on it. I guess I'll wait until the HD-DVD BBC version drops in price. :(

It's almost 10 hours worth of content and an amazing documentary.  How is that not worth $50 or so?

I'm just cheap when it comes to dvds. I would have never bought Arrested Development if I didn't find all 3 seasons together for $30.

Maybe I'll just go for the BBC version next week when I have more money to waste...

50$, clean up total.

I don't know if I should pick this up or wait for the prices of high end players to drop even more.  The 360 HD player is a good enough solution but it does have some limitations.  I have enough HD-DOA flicks already that I should probably get a backup player.  Also, I plan on picking up a bunch of stuff when they start having the fire sales.
