I ordered pretty early in the morning that this was posted. So it must have sold out really quick. I just got an e-mail saying that my order was canceled.

About the Planet Earth... Love the HD DVD, but I'm disappointed that there isn't anything extra with the DVD, when watching the series on Discovery Channel there was lots of cool behind the scenes stuff that I wanted to see on the DVD. Stuff like how long the camera guy had to sit in the jungle to catch that bird do his thing, and all the little details like that, that made the series on the Discovery Channel so cool to watch. @Rick I’m not a fanboy of any system but I have to agree with the statements you’ve made.

WOW amazingly HD DVD still has 9% since the format to retailers is dead and there were no considerable releases on it. I hope the Sony fanboys start tooting their horns about now. It is about time they deserve it, I mean HD DVD has been dead for what 2 months now and still holding almost 10% of all Hi-Def format sales! P.S. I recently went purple. I am very disappointed in myself, but I couldn't pass on getting a PS3 for $220. Still though unless there is a blu title that I want to see in HiDef, I will just buy the SD version. And I will buy twister in HD DVD when released. Just so HD DVD can have one last hurrah! FWC is reporting that Blu-Ray has a 91% share of Hi-Def format sales.

I was looking for Planet Earth, but I wasn't willing to spend $60 for it. I ordered it off PBS for $25.49 thanks to your tip. The order is currently back-ordered with 2-4 weeks before it will be filled. It is supposed to be the BBC version. It seems the PBS overstock sale was a little too successful for Planet Earth HD DVD. Pravin,

By the way, the item is not even available at the site any more. It went from being on sale, to back-ordered, and cancelled for some, to not available at all. $21.67 is an amazing discount, especially considering that the main reason for a PBS store is to raise funds for a non-profit organization.

Unless the website was inaccurate in several ways, it's the BBC version. It was marked down as part of the ongoing overstock sale, which explains the price. There was an additional 15% off as an Earth Day discount and I got a 15% discount for creating a new account. Price ended up being $21.67 before tax and shipping. Mine shipped on Wednesday.
