According to people who have it on Amazon UK, only the credits and titles are in 1080i; the footage itself is 1080p.Naked Snake said:

You guys realize there is no visible difference between 1080i and 1080p if the source material was shot in 24fps (like bascially all movies etc.)?
1080i vs. 1080p basically only matters for gaming.
Though I'm not sure if this is also true if your HDTV can do 1080p24 (but only accepting it doesn't count here)
That said, at least some of the UK Blu-ray episodes are in 1080i. I did notice the "popup" of my HDTV in the "later" episodes but I didn't go back to check if the others were 1080i as well.
The back says only some of the content "e.g. credit rollers" is in 1080i.

Thank you! I remember paying +$60 for Planet Earth back in the day and not regretting it for a second. The fact that I'll be getting this at half price is the bestest thing ever.

Barnes and Nobles deal is up again Life Blu-ray - Narrated by David Attenborough 41.99$.I used the code B8L8W9A and my total came out to 33.59$ 
What are the chances the makers of these documentaries are evil as hell? some of these sequences just seem too perfect for the cameramen to not have forced it.
ie. a seal just 'happens' to be separated from its herd into a family of killer whales.. a turtle just 'happens' to be crossing a highway the same time a cameraman is there..

In 1958, White Wilderness (Disney Nature) producers imported lemmings and tossed them off a cliff because at the time the myth of lemming mass suicide hadn't been debunked yet. There was a CBC (Canadian version of BBC) documentary about it and other instances of animal abuse behind the scenes of TV/movies/documentaries :lol
I'm pretty sure that's been reduced since the criticism received from that, but I can't say with certainty that no production companies ever intervene to make things more interesting.

If you let 71 cameramen/women film stuff around the world for over 2000 days (stats of Planet Earth), with the specific knowledge (and attendance) of local scientists, chances are you get some outstanding&random footage to fill 10 hours worth of episodes, w/o the need to throw seals in front of orcas.
Seriously. That's what, 5 years of 71 teams filming, probably close to fullrime? Not necessarily recording, but just like photography, you create your art by patience and knowledge and a bit of luck. There Doyle be thousands of hours of work behind that 3 minute clip. Thats the wonder of it.SolidusDave said:

The Barnes and Noble deal keeps coming and going. Most of the codes I see are for first-time online buyers. This code (H9D8P4R) was honored and brought it down to $44. In the end, I canceled and will stick with my Amazon pre-order. It's a few bucks more, but Amazon might lower their price in the meantime and I won't have to wait 1-2 weeks.

v
a magnified reflection of the captured seal on the wave?
it's in the episode "Hunters And Hunted"
Chapter 5, the orcas leave with their prey @ 47min 30sec (PAL time), just before Chapter 6 (the making-of part)
freaks me out :lol
