YESSSSS.
Pre-Ordered. Do we have any idea when this will come out? How long was the delay between air date and Blu-Ray launch for the first Planet Earth series?

Cautiously optimistic but need to see more info and a release date. Also, is there any chance this won't make use of HDR?
The UK Blu-ray releases December 5th but no sign of any 4K release:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01M629REH/
Might be a case of the BBC waiting on their 4K systems but already sold the footage including 4K for other markets?
The day I can order this on 4K Blu-ray will be the day I'll buy a XBOneS haha (begrudgingly after Sony failed so hard with the Pro)

4K blu rays are region free. So you always import it.
Watched the first 3 episodes, and was absolutely blown away. Just spectacular imagery and camera work. The rain scene in episode 3, in particular, was simply stunning. I don't think I could have imagined at the start of the year that one of my favourite TV show this year would be a nature documentary series.

Another great episode. But I feel like they are rushing it. I really wanted to see those lions successful hunt. I was really rooting for the lions to get that giraffe 
Dying in starvation is one of the worst kind of death you can imagine and sadly most of the animals has to face that.

Blue Planet is amazing, at least based on my memory of a decade ago.
I watched the first episode, fantastic as expected, but I have to say - I think I'm done with penguins.
Yeah they're cute and yeah the photography is super impressive, but I feel like I've seen the exact same story like 10 times already, including the after credit featurette about the crew freezing their ass on a barren antarctic island.
More sea lizards please!
And sea sloths too.
Fuck, now I just want a "hey! you don't belong in the ocean" TV series.

Dude? They have mentioned climate change in every single episode. What are you watching?
Can confirm, have the Blu-ray of it and remains my favorite Attenborough documentary.

its not out until next Sunday. How did you watch it already?
Well then someone at the BBC done goofed. Cause I was able to watch it yesterday.

I just moved to Pandora then
I'm not watching it before it gets a 4K release, but did they show anything besides Gardens by the Bay? That's what I saw in the trailer.

So the series airs in the states on Jan 28.

Its coming, but not anytime soon.
Listing was spotted on Amazon.com
I don't know how legit that is, because the book I just brought, has an advertisement paper inside. That only has DVD and Bluray pre-order details. No mention of UHD. Amazon.uk also doesn't have 4k listing. So I don't know.

Ok, thanks!

I heard Toronto gets repped in this episode can anyone confirm?

That's next weeks episode. This week is Grasslands.
The fuck? How are people seeing Cities already?
Yeah, i thought cities would be the most boring ep but instead it turned out to be the best one! The leopard and the hyena stuff was insane.
DVD/Blu is now out I think.

Read on Amazon that the blu ray is 1080i, can you confirm? How is the quality?
Edit: Checked the other BBC blu rays, all of them are 1080i, don't get the complains but I'm also not really familiar of how much diffrence 1080i to 1080p is.

There's a listing for a $60 4K BR at Amazon US. Really confused why there isn't one here.

Pre release blu-ray got leaked online last week. It's not like most people in here are watching legitimately from the UK. _(ツ

Blu-ray out, no 4K in sight in the UK. Fucking BBC why won't you let me throw money at you
However, that US 4K release seems a bit more legit now, blu-ray.com lists it now and it has a cover placeholder that's not on the amazon listing:
Still has no release date though. Yeah...

Yeah I'm talking about the impressions from last Friday. I'm not too worried about plot spoilers so i'll be OK.

Well. That sucks. UHD is the one most of us want.
I am not going to settle, will wait it out.

Will this come to any non-BBC channels in America?
If it's shot on film/at 24Hz, then 1080i/50 can deinterlace perfectly to 1080p/24 or 25. Shouldn't be an issue
Will definitely buy the 4K bluray

Confirmed, though it's not much. The raccoons are adorable, despite my hatred of them (damn you for constantly trying my Garbage can!)

First series is on Netflix along with other BBC series like Life and Frozen Planet so I don't see why this wouldn't but will it come in UHD/HDR? Or when. No one knows.

Has it been said already? BBC iPlayer is showing it in 4K HDR on some tv's at the moment.
The BBC has announced it is trialling Ultra HD and High Dynamic Range footage of Planet Earth II via the iPlayer.
It's only a trial and limited to Panasonic tv's for now (though that may change). But who knows. Maybe a full roll out in a few months time?
