Thanks to huanlin's post you can get both Planet Earth series on bluray for $29.98. If you're lucky you can score the JB Exclusive version of Planet Earth II with the animal magnets. Links listed below.
Planet Earth
Planet Earth II
Planet Earth II JB Exclusive with Animal Magnets
Why?
If you want value for money get 'Planet Earth 1' which has 5 discs and 'Life' which has 4 discs. Both are BBC and David Attenborough narrated.
Planet Earth 2 is a tad bit short to recommend for now.
Like women, it's not always how long they go for.
This comment in inappropriate.
Filming tech has kicked up a little since 'Life'…
Personally I enjoyed all 3 but Life is my favourite of the 3.
Can't go wrong with either.
Ooh, hang on, i take all that back.
Initially thought you were talking about Life on Earth from 1979, rather than Life from 2010. My apologies.
I've bought a shed-load of BBC blu-rays, yet i still have no blu-ray player. I fear that by the time i get around to watching them the 4K Ultra HD will be standard…
@AngryChicken:
"yet i still have no blu-ray player."…….I only hopped on the blu ray train less than 1 yr ago when I bought a PS3 for $100. (Target clearance sale)
What your missing out:
- Newer content looks a lot better than DVD
- You can see a lot more film noise in older content (not a bonus)
- Animation/CGI scenes can look almost flawless unless viewed real close.
- Wrinkles and freckles are very noticeable (those lovely actresses aren't that attractive at all!)
If I was you I'd buy a PS4 or Xbox One S.
The more expensive title shows up after selecting 2 titles and also includes delivery fees for both titles. I select pickup for both titles and it should be only $29.98 unless you've selected a title that costs $53.34.
Clear browser cache and start again and buy in store if problems persist.
Wanting both series and no special magnets.. I found it better to get the complete series for $59.98 which allowed me to get the complete series of Deadwood for free .. much better deal overall.
Your link is wrong. It's just for planet Earth 1.
Good - more animal magnets for me.
Did you also get $20 credit for spending $50+ on BBC, ABC, HBO?
am waiting for my purkle voucher , but did not know they did this… very nice!
is this $20 credit still going on or expired?
Yes. Purchased and confirmed. Paid with gift card from Coke Rewards so practically free for me.
Remember in-store purchases only to get the $20 voucher. Pick up doesn't count.
Special Magnets have special poor quality, no need to go for them, just normal version is fine.
I got the PE2 4k and PE1 BD today, as I think these are the best quality that I can get ATM.
Yeh I was going to say that 4K PE2 is included in the sale and definitely worth the extra money if you have the player or even just for future proofing
Because I got the xbox one s and the hisense 7 series (all ozbargain lol), also got the JB in store $20 DVD&BD coupon, so end up only paid $20 for both.
True ozbargainer here!
Got more blurays today. Wife is not going to be happy :(
Me too, mine neither :/
I need more shelf space for all of these blurays and games :(
The title made me think that the double pack they have was $29.98
Back when Planet Earth 1 came out, I had scored it for under $20.
It mistakingly scanned as some cheap perfume. :D
Retail for it back then was $80+
They also have $20 credit (DVD/Blu Ray) for $50 spend on ABC, BBC or HBO. So I'm thinking I'll grab the planet Earth collection for $60, grab $60 bogof on something else and get another $20 credit
Great idea mate!
How on earth did they manage to film some of the scenes in PEII I'll never know. Incredible
Will the 4k version works on standard blu-ray player and 1080p TV?
Nope, 4k bluray only works on 4k bluray player or XBOX ONE S.
You should buy bluray only if you want to play on bluray player.
You can get 4k bluray + bluray from UK Source like Amazon or Zavvi for ~$54AUD
Is there any mention of them making a planet earth 1 in 4k grabbed part 2 last time it was on sale
Looks pretty good on my Panasonic 4k tv playing thru the xone s
but I think because PE2 is filmed in 4k so we can have a 4k version.
I wanted planet earth 1 bluray special ed but seems only amazon uk have it, also after planet earth 2 on bluray/4k. this jb deal's looking good though at $30 for both :/
I don't get this post…. there's literally thousands of combinations that would warrant a post, what makes this so special?
Bought almost every single 4K bluray I wanted… so happy!
Great prices for a great series.
I am pretty sure that Planet Earth 1 is available on Netflix… Will probably grab Plannet Earth 2 in 4k with something else though…
I am going to JB Hi-Fi Nunawading today at 8:00pm to get two copies of Planet Earth 2 4K for $40 so if anybody wants a copy for $20 meet me there and bring a $20 note. PM me your mobile. Saves me having to list on ebay, etc..
Just be careful that you're actually getting the discount.
I had to put in multiple orders to ensure i got the cancellation operating properly, otherwise i'd have a $15 order offsetting a $10 order, instead of offsetting a $15 order. You no wod i mean?
The JB Exclusive with Animal Magnets has been removed from their website. That's what I get for going to buy a gift card before placing an order. Still will call local store in morning to see if they still have stock.
I wouldn't lose too much sleep - they're only powerful enough to hold themselves up.
While everyone else has gone home, i will say that i'm impressed with JB HiFi - fast to delivery, fast to respond to email, etc. They could well meet the Amazon challenge. Not sure about everyone else…
Dupe
