The most expensive nature documented series ever produced by the BBC, “Planet Earth” will always have a fond place in my memory as the first television event that blew my mind in high-definition. I’ve said it many times before, but in my opinion, this series is the reason why HDTV finally started making inroads in homes around the world. It’s was that stunning then – and it’s still a marvel today; which is why I’m psyched to announce that the BBC today is releasing a special edition. And we want you to win it.

And for those cynical about studio re-releases, let me allay your fears by telling you that this one comes fully loaded. Besides enjoying the series for the first time on my own HDTV (My in-laws were the only one the tech in 2007), the BBC has actually gone back and made it prettier than every before. So if you enjoyed this series in HD “back in the day”, prepare to see it again in even greater clarity. There’s also over three hours of bonus features that I’ve yet to barely crack – as well as an awesome look at the BBC’s next gorgeous nature doc “Frozen Planet”.

Did I mention it comes with the original narration by the great Sir David Attenborough? From the official site:

“Planet Earth Special Edition and Planet Earth Limited Collector’s Edition look more beautiful than ever, taking advantage of new advances in high definition technology since the original release. Both the 6-disc Blu-ray and DVD box sets showcase over three hours of fresh bonus materials including a sneak peak at Alastair Fothergill’s next project Frozen Planet, the all-new specially made program Greatest Planet Earth Moments and several other new features. Additionally, the Planet Earth Special Edition Blu-ray contains the eleven production video diaries and the bonus series Planet Earth: the Future, which were not included on the original Blu-ray release. Available only while supplies last, the Planet Earth Limited Collector’s Edition comes in an exquisite, numbered, collectible globe package with an exclusive set of four art cards.”
