It's like a three disc set and looks like it's REALLY good. I've been watching them on ebay because I see the Blu-ray set in the stores is like a hundred bucks.
But has anyone here seen it yet? I'm wondering if it's worth the price tag?

Yup, they've been playing it non-stop at border's down here, and it's a really nice set. A couple of my personal favorites was watching an elephant completely disappear under an entire pride of lionesses, and then there was this part where a seal got swallowed whole by a great white, the nifty part being that the seal was in the air when he got snagged, the got him in one gulp.

It's outstanding, and there's much much more to it than animals eating each other. If I had a Blue-Ray/hi-def setup, it would be the very first video I'd purchase. The visuals alone are outstanding, but the stuff they manage to capture, there's things on there that have never been seen by humans before! I won't spoil it for you, but definitely get it as soon as you can.
Also, there's another BBC special called The Blue Planet that's just as amazing. Again, lots of things never seen by humans before. They have them together in one package right now, but I'm sure the price for that is astronomical.

Yes I have it on blu-ray, its so awesome in high-def. Watching baby seals get slung up into the air and swallowed whole by a great white in 40x slow down in high-def is the most awesome thing I've ever seen.
There is a little bit of complaining about global warming in the narration of an episode or two, but its not much at all. The Earth is warming for sure, I just don't think we're at fault or can do a damned thing about it. We're just ants on this planet.
It is definately worth the price tag.

I've only seen them on TV (in HD), and they're incredible.

Well it looks from the reviews you guys have given this set, it's a must have. Looks like I can get the Blu-ray disc set, brand new on ebay for somewhere around $45 to $50. I'm going for it.

The thread gives me the impression that the show is mostly about animals killing animals, which sooo does not appeal to me. Is there a high percentage of other good stuff on it?

While I wouldn't say that it is a very very small amount of the program, it's not the only thing on there, either. Landscape shots (the show is about the planet, not just animals, so there's a good bit of stuff that doesn't even have any animals in it at all), babies being raised, animals interacting, etc. But, yes, there are definitely some scenes that you will probably want to fast-forward through, like those mentioned above.Originally Posted by dan
