US BBC release comes in nicer case.

Is it possible to get better cases in the U.S. if this is really an issue?

sure, if you buy the US release and then ebay off the US version of planet earth WITHOUT the case, or with the UK case in its place.

Wow, this is the fastest I've ever received anything from Amazon UK. The order shipped on 12/27 and I received it on 12/30 .

I already have the US release but was curious about the packaging and the additional disc. The box is very similar to the Heroes Season 1 box set where the discs are on plastic/acrylic holders mounted to a fold out piece. It's not terrible but would've been nice if it was a 5 disc Elite case, like the ones they use for Blade Runner. I have an extra 5 disc case so I'll move it into there and it still fits the US slipcover. The slip case for the UK version is also thinner. US version is actually a board with a printed wrap around it verses the UK version being printed cardboard converted to a slipcase similar to Rambo, Resident Evil and Torchwood slipcases. For $38 shipped, I'm not really complaining Here's the photos

amazon doesn't want canadians shopping at .com or americans shopping at .ca i guess, since they jack up the shipping all the time.

NP.

And thanks HD 335 for posting those pics. The case doesn't look as bad as others have described, so I'm not too worried. I don't mind it not being in an Elite case.

Is there a way to track the shipment from UK?

Picked up a copy. I prefer the larger packaging personally, especially when this is $25 less than buying it via Amazon US. Now I have the HD DVD US Discovery Channel version, the BBC DVD version and this! I'm a Planet Earth addict.
