Thanks in advance for your answer.

Ok, I just checked the UK 2Entertain version. You are right about the box.

Sorry to report that it only offers English subtitles according to the menu

Thanks a lot for your reply. the lack of spanish subtitles have left me only one choice (the US version)
Too bad, I really wanted the UK version because of the extra disc and better price.

cheerios.

That's annoying, but the extra disc isn't a huge loss. You will love the 11 regular episodes and probably hardly ever watch the other two anyway.

I tell ya this is a must own on Blu-Ray. The picture quality is unbelievable. If you show someone this, and they dont think theres a difference in Blu-Ray, slap them.

I got a question I just bought Planet Earth on Blu-Ray I thought it was in 1080p but on the box it says 1080i. I haven't opened it yet so is it a misprint on the case or what. It is the BBC version btw

Rob J in WNY · 12-11-2009, 04:45 AM

The BBC 4-disc and 5-disc releases will be 1080p, despite packaging info.

It is my understanding that the US version (Sigourney Weaver narrating) is presented in 1080i.

ShelbyGT500 · 12-11-2009, 04:50 AM

Yea from what I have heard the BBC version is 1080p and the US version is 1080i

The UK version is 5 disc and 1080p, and the US version is 4 disc and 1080i.

Your post is incorrect.

David Attenborough is the original narrator and the Discovery Channel inexplicably hired Sigourney Weaver to redo the narration in the belief that American audiences would want an American narrator.

I'm not sure if this was covered previously and I am not willing to wade through 28 pages to find out.

Personally I would prefer to listen to Attenborough over Weaver anyday. He is a world-renowned naturalist who really cares about the subject matter whereas Weaver is an actress who is just picking up a paycheck.

You dont really know much about her do you? She has spent the last 20 years involved in issues with the environment, wildlife preservation, she quit acting for a long time to focus on it, and has donated millions to these causes. That's why they chose her. Learn the facts.
