I disagree with this. I just bought a PS3 so I could play Planet Earth
Blu Ray. The difference between a high def dvd and a regular dvd is so
startling that I no longer want to buy regular dvds.


I considered that, but the regular DVD has all the bonus features. It
seems silly to pay more and get less.


Bonus features are for girls/dorks. low def bonus features are for douche
guzzlers.

What's missing from the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray versions:

110 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage
Planet Earth: The Futu 150-minute companion series

Yeah, I mean, pshhht, who wants an extra 4 and a half extra hours of
content when they can pay a higher price for the set?


girls, dorks, and/or douche guzzlers.
