For Better or Werts

DVD DEAL: 'Life' deep discount!

Discovery's DVD/Blu-ray releases of the epic docuseries Life won't be out until June 1, but in honor of Earth Day, there's an amazing discount for Thursday only -- $50 for a Blu-ray combo of Life and Planet Earth.

It's just $40 for the DVD combo of Life and Nature's Most Amazing Events, or the combo of Planet Earth and Blue Planet on DVD. Those are huge discounts over not only list price but most sale pricing.

Important caveat: These are the Discovery releases of these shows, which means you'll hear the American voices of Discovery Channel narrators Oprah Winfrey for Life and Sigourney Weaver for Planet Earth.

Some fans prefer the original British narration tracks by nature-meister David Attenborough -- and that would mean buying the BBC Video disc sets. You can find those at Amazon here (Life on Blu-ray for $49, on DVD for $42, as of April 22).

Both versions of Life will be released on disc June 1, so these are pre-orders.

Another Earth Day deal is at Amazon -- David Attenborough's BBC version of Planet Earth on Blu-ray for $38 and on DVD for $32, Thursday only.

Diane Werts

Diane Werts has been glued to the tube since she can remember, growing up in a household where the TV came on first thing in the morning and stayed on till bedtime and beyond. She worked for the USA Film Festival, then for The Dallas Morning News writing about everything from Shakespeare to macrame art to rock music (and has the hearing loss to prove it). She moved to New York's Newsday to edit their glossy TV magazine, then returned to writing about television, specializing in its stranger permutations. She's a past president of the Television Critics Association.
