Part of Amazon's Summer Sale, and currently $53.99 at JB. Expiry date of the sale not known.
I thoroughly enjoyed the series when recently on TV (yay!), but it wasn't even broadcast in HD (boo, hiss). Reviews are extremely positive- one of the best comments: "as if there is an Intergalactic Tourist Board and this is their advertisement for aliens to come and visit Earth."

Looking forward to it's arrival.

Pricing: £11.75 - VAT + delivery = £13.37. A$22.87 using Amazon's currency converter.

Note "Life" is also advertised at £11.76.

Update: it looks as if they're out of current stock - now says "Usually dispatched within 6 to 7 days" - but still available at this price.

    You won't be disappointed with this for 20 bucks. Excellent value, from memory it's five discs.

  • Circly on 29/06/2013 - 12:09

    Love these types of docos. Just watched Wild China and currently watching Nature's Great Escape.

    Amazing Doco! If you don't have it yet you gotta get it!

  • Raynes on 29/06/2013 - 12:14

    Apparently it's 1080i and NOT 1080p?
    What the hell?

        Ahh awesome cheers. Strongly considering this purchase, 4-disk on sale at JB for $53, and this has an extra disc.

      • Lenneth on 29/06/2013 - 12:33

        Interesting. The Australian HD DVD copy is the only one which has the making of diaries which makes that one the best one still to own.

        • mackaxx on 29/06/2013 - 12:40

          Arguably the bonus content on this one is better, whatever floats ones boat though. Unless the Australian one has both ?

  • EarlyBird on 29/06/2013 - 12:26

    It appears to be region 2 discs, I wonder if my Sony BD player would play it?

    • Leonard on 29/06/2013 - 12:30

      Amazon specifies it as: Region: All Regions (ie region free)

      • EarlyBird on 29/06/2013 - 13:48

        Yeah, I was looking at the mobile site which showed R2. The full site does show all regions.

        • rmamila on 01/07/2013 - 11:37

          This better be region free. I have a big pile of DVD's bought while in US for my elder kid which became unusable for the little one as they all are region2 and can not play in any of my home BlueRayPlayer or the car DVD player (Toyota/Clarion).
          Just don't want to add another DVD which I can not play at all. For me the region issue has become too much :(

        • Pumpkin_rrr on 01/07/2013 - 11:43

          Just a thought: how about buying a US DVD player? We did that in China.

  • tenshi13 on 29/06/2013 - 12:58

    +1 because its David Attenborough
    if its morgan freeman might get +2

      It's a choice between a veteran of natural history who speaks with authority and interjects his script impromptu from his wealth of knowledge and a Hollywood actor who reads out a prepared script.
      David Attenborough wins hands down.

      • bich.light on 30/06/2013 - 16:10

        Couldn't David have just written the script and gotten Morgan Freeman to read it?

        • EarlyBird on 01/07/2013 - 17:07

          In the US release they got Signourney Weaver to do the voice-over. But she had to leave out the personal bits in which David Attenborough recounted his own past encounters. Most of the better informed amongst the American viewers preferred the original version which outsold the US version.

    Not as good as this deal, http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/96982. But still awesome, nonetheless.

  • drose1 on 29/06/2013 - 13:36

    Best doco to watch after a smoke.

  • hollykryten on 29/06/2013 - 14:27

    Lucky this is the UK release which is David Attenborough narrated. Just don't buy the US release it's narrated by Oprah Winfrey instead. Bargain price.

    Absolutely one of the best BBC documentaries. Get it it….watch it….and enjoy!

  • johnnyb on 29/06/2013 - 15:59

    Seen so many bargains listed for Planet Earth and Life, had to buy both just to see what the fuss is about.

    Any other documentary suggestions?

    • Vladdo on 29/06/2013 - 16:05

      I bought Africa, Madagascar, Frozen Planet & Human Planet for 50 pounds.. I went over to the UK recently and couldn't find anywhere near the prices of amazon uk in retail stores..

      • sparkles on 29/06/2013 - 21:23

        Add that we don't pay VAT and you'll find we are getting some things cheaper delivered than people who live in the UK, even with them having free delivery.

  • Pumpkin_rrr on 29/06/2013 - 16:27

    Only 7 left when I first looked, now only 5 left…. Better hurry.
    Also bought Life.
    Been wanting to buy these for yonks, but always fear I'd have no time to watch…..

    But when I checked out, the price came down to £9.79. Hope it is still the same item.

    • Leonard on 29/06/2013 - 16:36

      £9.79 is the price without VAT.

    Darn you OzB's! I had to go back and buy LIFE just because you others did. Maybe (!) they'll only charge me one delivery…

    • Pumpkin_rrr on 29/06/2013 - 16:41

      I remember you can edit your recent order.
      Good luck.

    Also worth picking up the latest BBC nature offering "Africa" . I've seen all the BBC nature series and this one is right up there and the new starlight cameras are incredible. Never seen behaviour of Hippo's meeting at a secret waterhole was simply amazing and also very sad when you realise how threatened this species is.

  • Vomo on 29/06/2013 - 19:11

    Couldn't resist! Thanks op

  • hamwhisperer on 29/06/2013 - 21:31

    Why won't they release The Blue Planet on blu ray >:( it wasn't filmed THAT long ago.

  • movieman on 30/06/2013 - 01:41

    Thanks.

    Ordered. Paid. Waiting for it…

    Ended up getting:
    Planet Earth
    Life
    Blue Planet

    All for around AUD$53 delivered.. Thanks OP!

  • Sadimgnik on 30/06/2013 - 09:07

    Thanks, OP … I just grabbed Attenborough's Planet Earth, Brian Cox's Wonders box set (Wonders of The Solar System, WOT Universe) and Iain Stewart's "Earth" box set all in Blu-ray for $63/17, delivered.

    That's about half the JB prioce, even with 20% off this weekend.

    Shirl (the natural history / animamamals watcher in our place) is gonna love them!

  • Eg51 on 30/06/2013 - 14:30

    Thanks! Bought it! Nearly paid double in Jb Hifi despite the 20%sale

  • jelko on 30/06/2013 - 18:47

    I'm currently watching Planet Earth (same copy as described here) and in some parts, the PQ is very grainy. Actually, quite disappointing. People have been praising the picture quality, but in my opinion it doesn't meet those expectations.

    That being said, the majority of the video is very good.

  • JoyVee on 01/07/2013 - 00:15

    thanks for that info

  • worlds_most_wanted on 01/07/2013 - 04:41

    'Planet Earth' & 'Life' are 2 essential must have series as part of your documentary collection.

    'Great Migrations' is worth checking out too.

  • jfkingdom1 on 01/07/2013 - 09:09

    The things that are captured in this serious is breathtaking. A must for all documentary enfusiast. Very cheap price too.

  • rjb on 01/07/2013 - 12:19

    Bought this some time ago, very good and very well spent $$$$ !
