planet earth is on both hd-dvd and blu-ray - the series is spread over 4 discs. for anyone who wants to show off the quality of either the blu-ray/hd-dvd player or their tv, that show is by far and away the new benchmark in video quality - it's one of the best documentaries to ever hit television and easily the best cinematography you will ever see. i'd highly recommend getting it.
i ask this because i dont see it on the hd dvd site and i only see it for sale on a blu ray disc or a 5 disc dvd set so is this one of the discs that actually uses up alot the disc
EDIT: my bad its on 4 blu rays. why is that? couldnt it fit on one?

HD Resolutions take up alot of space. Blurays can only hold 3.5 (or 2.5 i forget) hours of HD quality video

Shows it as being on one bluray disc? Hmmm... maybe they decided to use a dual layer one or something...
However, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Planet-Earth-Complete-Collection-DVD/dp/B000MRAAJW/ref=sr_1_1/026-0811993-1378803?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1177454127&sr=1-1 For HD-DVD is does show the series as being over 4 discs...

Planet earth is already on blu-ray, in a 4 blu-ray box set. Each blu-ray is 25GB which I found to be very WTF considering they could of used just 2, 50GB blu-ray's... (I think they used 4 25GB discs to make more money, it cost's $100)
Planet Earth is simply incredible. It was a must TIVO and I find myself watching it all the time. Like nothing you have seen before and I dig documentaries.

  linked Amazon has it for $67 shipped but they are sold out until may. Frys may have it cheaper then the $100 retail too.
