  Wouldn't it be cheaper for them to put it online and reduce all this waste???

    I wouldn't be sure that any online presence would still be there in ten years, while the purchased DVDs will still be working (or you'll have backed them up as ISO files).

    Most people don't know that National Geographic was recently bought by the Fox media empire, without the prior knowlege of many of the staff, who are somewhat upset. Lots of redundancies were made, read about it here:

    Perhaps its a case of "buy your National Geographic magazines before they go extinct".

      That would depend if they were of any value

        To some people they are. Uniformly beautiful photography, and the articles always make a good read. Think of it as an enormous history textbook, in magazine form.

        Yes you can get images of anything online through Wikipedia, but it's a bit harder to get historical pictures online, and harder again to get the insight of what people were thinking at the time of historical events. A history textbook may have a paragraph or a page devoted to a particular event, NatGeo will usually have a full article.

  That's a helluva lot of material for $25 but some of the reviews on Amazon are less than enthusiastic.

  Buy it for your kids' schoolwork. It's a resource they can quote without fear, unlike Wikipedia. I know that quoting Wikipedia is permitted, but it isn't as verifiable as a printed journal.

  $14.95 + $9.90 postage = $24.85

  This reminds me of the days when we had Microsoft Encarta for school research rather than The Interwebs (wiki) :P

  I've had The Rolling Stone version - every magazine whacked onto a bunch of discs.

  Awesome amount of content. Hence slow search and navigation. Great to have all those images and stories.

  If you ripped them to be your hard drive that'd speed things up.

  I offer this as advice for any potential buyers of this National Geographic set.

  Just as a reminder, many libraries in Australia, including many regional libraries offer free online access (at home) to this content (and more).

  I downloaded a copy of this once, was insane trying to get it to work. Some of the Nat Geo software was bonkers. Anyway, for this price, can't go wrong! So bought!
