Mc :ph34r: The 10% was a promotion from last year. It went along the lines of if you purchased a certain a mount of titles then you would get 10% off for the whole of this year. I missed it...

brodricj Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Very nice equipment list BTW. Hey Foggy, I would add an extra very to your comment there!
attilathepun Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 How have people found Amazon's shipping to be like? I ordered two disks which shipped on 29 March (standard shipping) which still haven't shown. Is that normal?
rexjamo1503560402 Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 How have people found Amazon's shipping to be like? I ordered two disks which shipped on 29 March (standard shipping) which still haven't shown. Is that normal? Unfortunately standard shipping takes ages (3-4 weeks). The next one up only takes about a week or so. Worth paying the extra if you're in a hurry.

Worth paying the extra if you're in a hurry. cool - thanks. My last order from Amazon (an amazon merchant) didn't show up at all, so currently i was looking at a 0 from 2 scoreline. If three to four weeks is not unusual, then I guess I have another week or so before I should kick up a stink.
Cody Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 thanks for the heads-up, i'll be ordering this for sure
Chesty Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 cool - thanks. My last order from Amazon (an amazon merchant) didn't show up at all, so currently i was looking at a 0 from 2 scoreline. If three to four weeks is not unusual, then I guess I have another week or so before I should kick up a stink. I have found Amazon to be quite good for shipping. The last order i made was standard shipping and i got them in just under 2 weeks. Expedited usually 1 week. You should get yours soon though...
ejm Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Cool, I may get one. Does the Blu-ray version cost the same as the HD-DVD version or is it more?
betty boop Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 pity we cant do a group buy or somthign given so much interest in somethign like this. I'd be keen to get this one too.
norpus Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 pity we cant do a group buy or somthign given so much interest in somethign like this. I'd be keen to get this one too. I preordered last night on DVD Pacific, along with HD DVE Also ordered 12 titles that were in stock - all for <$250USD (about $300AUD). Gotta love this exchange rate
momaw Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 So mchuelio did you get the superior in every way HD DVD or the evil "poo-ray" (which recent studies show causes cancer - apparently the hard coat is carcinogenic and there are many reported cases of fanboi's getting testicular cancer as their hands are either rubbing up against the disc or in their pants rubbing something else) of Planet Earth. I am eagerly awaiting HighDef Digests analysis. Don't have a cow fanboi's, just having fun. PS: it does cause cancer though. I read it on the inter-web-thing so it must be true (hey if it works for HJ)

Gotta love this exchange rate wow you've done well their norpus. I got a few with my player but havent really bought too many from os since. been swapping a few around with the guys which is a great.

Guest Graffy4242 Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Does anyone know if the Planet Earth available from Amazon will play in a Region B (Aussie) PS3 ?? Cheers
Chesty Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Does anyone know if the Planet Earth available from Amazon will play in a Region B (Aussie) PS3 ??Cheers While it should be being Warner you never know for sure...
Skid_MacMarx Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 its listed as "all region" at Amazon. High-Def Digest just released their review of both the HD DVD and Blu-ray version of Planet Earth. The video quality and audio quality sections of the review for both are identical, because both discs use the same VC1 encode and DD 5.1 audio (488kbps). According to Hi-Def Digest this is a must owned demo disc for both formats and that other than the normal low light artifacts that video is known for, the video quality is some of the best they have seen for either format. The audio on the other hand leaves something to be desired, but isn't bad. The good news is that neither format showed the type of compression artifacts that we have some to live with from sat or cable and that both versions outshine the broadcast version you may have already seen. http://sony.engadgethd.com/2007/04/24/plan...blu-ray-review/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/animals/planetearth/
