I hope they didnt fail to captialize on this scenario:

I bought the Discovery Channel version on :hd: for the same price 2 years ago. I also just bought the BBC version from amazon.uk a few weeks ago

While Weaver isn't terrible, she isn't as good as Attenborough.

More problematic is the fact the DC version loses 5+ minutes per episode compared to the BBC episodes.

The PQ on the DC version isn't nearly as good as the BBC version either.

Looks like Amazon will have this as a lightning deal later today. Not sure which version though. Clue is just "See the World in Blu."

Awesome! Thanks!

Weaver > Attenborough

I just bought the Planet Earth Blu-ray off of Discovery.com for 24.99 + 4 shipping, so the offer isn't dead. It's part of their Cyber Monday promotion.
