Default 'Six Degrees Change the World' -- pre-release buzz

National Geographic has announced a new one for Blu-ray:

http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/nati...ixdegrees.html

This one is an Amazon exclusive, however and currently is not available at other retailers.

Originally broadcast on cable outlets, tech specs include 1080p video at 1.78:1, and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround audio.

There are no announced extras.

Retail is $28.99 (though Amazon is currently offering a discount).

I already preordered this. Looks and sounds very interesting and the fact that it is an exclusive is always a good thing for us supporters.

Same for me. Sharkwater sounds cool. This sounds like politically correct BS. Sorry just the way I feel.

Nice exclusive for Blu. I can't even remember if HD-DVD has ever done a company specific release promo... I count two now for Blu (Justin Timberlake and this one).

I'll be looking forward for more of these exclusive releases and pre-ordering this one sometime before April.

Propaganda is defined as:

the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person

So who is this "helping" or "injuring" in your mind? Because it would seem that the only ones being "helped" are the people of the world (like all 7 billion or so) and the ones being "injured" are maybe the corporations (who have effectively fooled you into thinking this is propaganda).
