Back in May we
passed along word from the BBC that they are preparing a new
Planet Earth - The Complete Collection: Special Edition on DVD and high-def Blu-ray Disc, available later this year. Now the studio has formally announced the title, scheduling it for
October 4th.
Each 6-disc set will not only be available in both standard and HD formats, but also available in those formats in a Limited Edition "globe"-style packaging (see picture below). Cost of the DVD versions will be $59.98 SRP for the standard package and $79.98 SRP for the numbered
Planet Earth - The Complete Collection: Limited Collectors' Edition packaging. For those who prefer Blu, your prices are $79.98 SRP for the regular package, and $99.98 SRP for the high definition version of the
LE "globe" package.
In our original story was an overview of the new bonus material that would be found on the updated, upgraded sets. Now the studio has provided a better list of the special features you'll get on this title. We've got that for you, followed by a look at the "globe"
Limited Collectors' Edition DVD package in a "beauty shot" layout, then a look at the standard DVD box, and then an open "beauty shot" look at the standard package for the Blu-ray version of this new
Special Edition!
