Spotted this 4 disc blu ray set at a good price of $24.99 plus postage on the Mighty Ape website.
This version has an extra bonus disc too! JB currently sells the 3 disc version for $97.99:

This is a pretty good documentary series. And it will look sick on HD!
Nice, thx
This would appear to be why this item has been reduced in price, as taken from an Amazon review of the same product - albeit a different cover - but still with 4 discs.
Despite the quality of the film clips there are some that have clear and very obvious visible and not just minor anomalies but persistent great big black blobs in the same place on the screen. This 'dirt' persists across clips taken at varied times, even months apart and in very different locations, so it wasn't on the original film. That means, logically, that it's a projection fault and that it wasn't spotted during the HD transfer to Blu-Ray.
Nice price however. Not sure if I'll take them up on it though, considering. I'm a bit OCD with things like this.. It'd be screaming at me in all of the scenes the anomaly appears in. =S
I could be wrong though. This might be a newer uneffected release of the same product.

More discussion….
Also, i did notice the dirt speck that has been discussed. But i also wonder if these individuals actually watched the whole program or only the first 10 minutes of the first disc and gave up on it. After the first 10 minutes of the first disc, i did not notice the spot there anymore through the rest of the program (and i was looking). It certainly was a little annoying while it was on the screen - but i think that's because i read about it here and was looking for it, and when i found it i couldn't keep my eyes off of it. Would i have noticed if i had not been tipped off about it? I'm not sure.
another…
i almost didnt order it because of this review about the blob, but i couldn't resist pulling the trigger being a space program fan. And i am very glad i did. i would not have noticed the blob by myself and it didn't bother me much as its interestingly "hidden" in the darks of the footage most of the time.
So might not be a major issue for most folk…(although, of course, it will be the first thing I look for now…lol)
You've convinced me.
Sold.
:)
And I also picked up Populous on DS for $9.99.
Score.
=D
Good one……was looking at this just the other day in JB….
