The Discovery Channel has announced that they will bring their popular Hi-Def series 'Sunrise Earth' to Blu-ray on December 7th. The series, which shows sunrises from different parts of the world, is one of the more popular Discover Channel HD programs. The box set will feature 12 different sunrises, and a bonus program "Secrets of the Sun". No specs have been announced at this time.

I love Sunrise earth, despite being 2 hours of nothing. :D

Wonder how much a 12 disc set is going to be?

Edit:

Volume 1, 4 disc set $59.99
3 episodes per disc


Aren't the episodes 2 hours long each? What a shame that they're cramming 6 hours worth of HD content on a single disc :(
Probably won't have the best PQ in that case. Oh well.

Uh oh :) More eye candy.

i *think* they are one hour... at least they show them in one hour long blocks (somewhat less, actually)...

i'll buy this for sure... i'm not much of a "buyer" (pretty much rent everything), but i really like sunrise earth...

meh.
Never been much into HD "screen savers".

I love planet earth, but there's at least a point to the images themselves.
I do put on sunrise earth in the morning when I'm getting ready for work. But I don't think I would ever sit down and just watch it for a straight hour.

I can just go outside for cripes sake. Slightly better resolution when I do that.

You're right, they're 52 minutes. In that case, this set should be awesome.

Really, what codec is used? :eek::D

FREAKIN AWESOME SWEEEEET

The episode with Stonehedge was the best.

I love this show, my wife hates it cause she thinks it is so boring but it is a great relaxing show. Hopefully they do a good job on the encodes, The Discovery Atlas series looked pretty bad on BLU-RAY and the discovery version of Planet Earth looked worse than the BBC version.

My copy finally shipped! :)

Guess this one had a slight delay, huh? ;)

DiscoveryStore.com is having a DVD sale as of today so this title on BD is $50.99 (regularly 59.99 = 15% off). You can combine coupon 'com10' for another $10 off bringing the price down to $40.99. Not a bad deal for Discovery Store, considering this is an exclusive title (currently).

Damn, that's what I get for preordering. :(

I don't know if their customer service is as accommodating as Amazon's, but it might be worth asking for a refund of the difference considering they only just recently shipped yours...can't hurt to try.

I typically watch this show while eating breakfast as it's a wonderful way to ease into the day. It's not something I would purposely sit down to watch if I wanted to be entertained; but it is a very relaxing and visually stunning series that's perfect in 10 or 15 minute installments. That being said, I'll pick it up if I find it on sale one of these days; but I doubt I would pay MSRP for it.
