BBC Planet Earth - Blu-ray 1080i ?

I have been waiting for the UK release of Planet Earth on Blu-ry out 12th November. Looking at the cover in the shop I noticed that the UK release in only in 1080i and not the better quality 1080p

I have decided not to buy and wondered if there is anyone out there is also aware of this?

Are there 2 versions being released in the UK ?

If your TV de-interlaces correctly (or your player) then there is no real difference .... the resolution is the same.

Re: BBC Planet Earth - Blu-ray 1080i ?

Mine was delivered yesterday - picture is stunning from the first episode that I have seen so far! I know a lot is made of 1080i vs 1080p but the reality is that the actual difference is very small (talk to your local TV specialist - they will confirm this). Whilst I'm pretty confident that I could tell the difference between SD and HD, I don't think I could tell between 1080i and 1080p - although I'd prefer all my HD tv to be 1080p "just because"!
If you are a fan of this programme, I'd still get it!

Thanks for your replies. I've decided to rent it from LoveFilm and take a look at the quality first before I Buy. I was worried at first since my TV is 46" and is 1080p and wanted to get the best from it

I'm watching it on a 46" 1080 screen (W3000) and I think that the picture I've seen so far is fantastic - hopefully you will find this too!
