Planet Earth 5-Dvd Collector's Edition Boxed Set! Discovery Channel
$49.99
I can't speak highly enough about this series. It is excellent both terms of terms of the material and how it's organized. And visually, well it is simply stunning. In this sense I give this product 5 stars.

However, some of the quality is lost when viewing on DVDs. I originally saw the series in HD on television. It was so exceptionally good that I wanted to buy a copy. (This is saying something when you consider this purchase nearly doubled the number of DVD's I have bought for my personal use. DVD's for the kids don't count.) Since I don't own a blu-ray player, we bought the DVDs. There definitely was a difference in the visual quality when viewing it on the DVD format. Thus while I do recommend purchasing this product, I would recommend buying the blu-ray format instead if you have a player.

We've watched these DVD's over and over. A wonderful collection of some of the most amazing photography and videography ever captured.
My 8-year-old son has been fascinated by these films and shows genuine concern for the plight of our sea-life. I highly recommend this collection!

Discovery Atlas: Complete Collection [Blu-ray]
$49.98
Don't buy this version is not really complete! I watch the France, China and Italy documentary and there are not complete. The original versions of these documentaries are more than 100 min long. On this version they only last like 40 min!! I suggest buying each individually. Is not fair that they sell us a documentary that says "complete collection" on the cover when is not true.
