I certainly hope so. I've read nothing but good stuff about it. And the thing retails for around 80-100€ usually. So it's a steal basically

Great phones swek, you've just reminded me I haven't touch my headphones in a while.

Have already watched it through Netflix rental when it first came out, but I felt like watching it again all the sudden, worth every penny images/smilies/smile.gif

^ That really is worth every penny, and it's not as expensive as some would think (less than $80 even in Canada). I can't justify buying since I "have" the 720p version already... oh, and no Bluray player. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Personally, I bought a comfy couch for my impending place... I don't think it's worth posting pics in this thread though. Also I don't have it yet.

chilicoke · March 19th, 2008, 08:58 AM

720p version? torrent? images/smilies/lol.gif

Shawn · March 19th, 2008, 09:00 AM

Umm... yes? images/smilies/unsure.gif

chilicoke · March 19th, 2008, 09:20 AM

I also torrent the DVD rip before I Netflixed it images/smilies/tongue.gif

, who says downloads don't generate any sales images/smilies/wink.gif

NecroJoe · March 19th, 2008, 11:40 PM

I wanted all 720p episodes online, fell in love, and it was the 1st Blu-Ray disc I bought. I bought it the day before I bought my player, even.

edit: The David Attenburough (sp?) version...not the Ms. Weaver version.

Viper007Bond · March 20th, 2008, 12:11 AM

I "acquired" all of the episodes in 1080p format. images/smilies/happy.gif

Definitely, I watched the Weaver version on Discovery channel, think I fell asleep after 15 minutes images/smilies/lol.gif

Hey chilicoke, did you get in on that $49 deal for Planet Earth at Best Buy? I was tempted to get the HD-DVD version but I'm waiting for the price to lower even more (dead format FTL). The Discovery Channel version was under $29 a few weeks ago but I prefer the BBC version.

chilicoke · March 20th, 2008, 04:59 AM

sure did, I'm a deal hunter images/smilies/lol.gif

I hope it's every bit as good as they say. Plus at that price I just couldn't say no.

I have a pair of AKG K260s from the 80s and they beat the shit out of my Sennheisers, so I have lowered the Sennheisers to my porn headphones. Great Choice Though AKG is my personal favorite for what you get.

Wow, today is new LCD day!

I'm waiting on the UPS man to arrive with mine. images/smilies/happy.gif

I suddenly feel very old tech. CRT FTL!

Unfortunately I only have £100 or so, and i've just spent most of that anyway.

My camera sucks (it literally has less pixels than my monitor) and it looks a LOT smaller in the pictures than it does in real life, but still...
