Get Planet Earth on Blu-ray for $49.99

Want to really show off that new Blu-ray player? Get yourself the BBC documentary series Planet Earth, which Best Buy has on sale for $49.99. I first caught it when it aired on the Discovery Channel, and it didn't take long before I decided I had to own it.

The series' 11 episodes take you to oceans, jungles, deserts, rainforests, and other remote parts of the planet, where you'll see incredible environments and wildlife. You don't have to be a nature buff to enjoy this; you just need a heartbeat.

I paid about $70 to buy Planet Earth on HD DVD (sigh), and that was on sale from the $99 list price. Here's your chance to get it half off. Don't miss out; the sale ends on St. Patrick's Day (March 17).

If you want Planet Earth in HD DVD you have to check www.shopping.discovery.com they have all of the HD DVD'S from discovery channel on crazy sales. such as $50 for both Planet Earth complete series and Sunrise Earth!! That is crazy talk. Or just $29.99 for planet earth series. This is a must have for hd dvd and blu-ray. I missed the Best buy blu-ray sale so i will settle for the Walmart price of $67. Any who happy shopping, and you must buy and watch planet earth even if you don't usually watch documentary's or discovery channel.
