If you’ve got a Blu-ray player and an HDTV, there’s absolutely no excuse not to own Planet Earth Vol. 1.  If you’ve already seen the BBC documentary series, you already know why you should own it.  If you haven’t seen Planet Earth yet, let today’s deal of the day serve as notice that it’s time.

In a nutshell, Planet Earth is the nature documentary for those of us who typically don’t watch nature documentaries.  Four years in the making, it was the most expensive nature documentary series ever commissioned by the BBC, and also the first to be filmed in high definition.  Believe me, the patient work and Hi-Def technology shows up on the screen.  Not only are some of the most rare and beautiful natural behaviors on our planet captured on film in Planet Earth, but the visuals are so eye-popping and stunning that they’ll put the rest of your Blu-ray collection to shame. 

Volume 1 collects the first three episodes of Planet Earth, giving you the perfect introduction to the series.  In case you’ve just recently purchased a Blu-ray player, today’s Pure AV Performance Pack is also the perfect introduction to HD video, because just for kicks it included a 6-foot HDMI cable.  Elsewhere on the Web, you’d be lucky to find either the Planet Earth disc or the HDMI cable alone for $13.99, let alone both.  But here at Buyers HQ, we’re cool like that.  If Planet Earth has taught us anything, it’s that conservation is vital.  So order this fantastic hi-def package today and conserve that paycheck!
