BBC Planet Earth 5-disc Blu-ray - $32 shipped

$32 and change shipped to the US from Amazon UK. This was something I always wanted to see (especially the superior BBC version), but couldn't really justify it for the typical $70~$90. At $32 shipped, though, couldn't pass it up. Don't consider the price final until you get to the last step before check-out, because for us Americans VAT will be dropped, which makes quite a difference in the price.

That is way too good of price to pass up on.

what's superior about the bbc version?

I know it had a different (better) narrator over there but that's also on the US release.

I've had that on HD DVD for a while now and it's well worth picking up at this price though.

Better narration, better visual quality, five discs instead of four.

Amazing price. Grab this. It's awesome.

I...what? The US set I saw had 5 discs. Maybe it was the BBC set...

It was. I just now noticed that there actually is a US set out there but it's sold exclusively through discovery.com's store. The one you see at any retail store is the BBC one.
