 great product but wrong purchaseJan 07, 2009
I did not realize one needed an HD DVD player for this product, nor did a few of my tech savvy relatives upon first thought. It will be returned.
One of the best shows television has ever producedJan 06, 2009
This is a must have for everyone. The series is informative, beautifully done, and captures some of the most amazing footage ever. Each hour long episode is as interesting as it is informative and visually captivating. I would recommend this for anyone, and it makes a great gift.
One note about the version. You will want to get the BBC version narrated by David Attenborough, as it is much, much better than the American version narrated by Sigourney Weaver.

 Never received productJan 06, 2009
I ordered this product on December 6. After I placed the order it said that due to the sellers history this would not make it by Christmas. As this was a Christmas gift I was now left to find a new gift. To this date, I still have not received the product but the seller received his money promptly. I have filed a claim against the seller. This was my first experience with a bad item, but I have always bought from Amazon directly and never a seller. I recently bought something else from another seller and we will see how that goes, but at this point it hasn't shipped when it said it would. I'll stick to Amazon directly from now on.

The DVDs for Planet Earth were shrink-wrapped for my gift giving. The set looked complete and in fine form after my friend opened it. Thanks.

Gave the Planet Earth DVD to my 9 yr. old grandson for Christmas. He absolutely loves it. I watched a few of the Dvd's and the photography is spectacular. I recommend this for everyone.
