dUSt Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 The Blu-Ray set is $87: http://amzn.to/1PkuCsX The DVD set is $65: http://amzn.to/283yepp The digital season (SD) is $72: http://amzn.to/1O5K6As Has anyone seen the blu-ray version? Is the quality noticeably better than the DVD version? Is the DVD version in HD? Is the digital "SD" version 720p? I want to watch this series with the family but unsure of which version to buy. I am one of those annoying people who can tell the difference between 720p and 1080p--but if the blu-ray is simply "upconverting" the same quality from the DVD/digital to blu-ray, I'll just go with convenience and get the digital format.

Charbel Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) I watched the first episode of this with some friends last year. I think they had the DVD format so I can't help you there, but it looked great to me (forgive me, it was months ago but I am almost positive it was in HD). I remember thinking it was very high quality and I wished I was able to watch more because it was so interesting and well-done. If it were me, I think I'd go with the DVD set for a few reasons. First, it's the cheapest and I always spend the lowest amount possible when I can. Second, I personally thought the DVD version was exceptional quality. Thirdly, I enjoyed it because it was not only visually pleasing, but mentally stimulating and I'm not the pickiest person when it comes to HD resolution. But again, I was rather impressed with the DVD set's high quality. Edited June 1, 2016 by Charbel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Looks like the DVD version is available on eBay for around $30 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I have the blue ray set. It is good but a little glitchy. I dunno how the technology works but I wonder if they transferred it to blue ray OK. Skips more than my other blue ray stuff. . . Maybe I just got a bad set though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven77 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I have the Blu-ray set too. It's great and looks 1080p to me. I'm pretty sure that the series was actually shot in HD. Considering that I bought the Blu-ray after it came out for about $100+, I would say definitely buy that one. And it's worth the investment for sure.

PhuturePriest Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I have an unused DVD set Brandon Vogt sent me as a gift, but I'm a selfish person, so I won't send it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will rue these words one day when I claim my rightful place as Pope and instate @Hasan as webmaster and overlord of Phatmass. May God then shower upon you an abundance of mercy, for you shall find none from Hasan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Credo in Deum Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I streamed it using the amazon prime app on our Blu-ray player. It wasn't a bad series, but I don't think it's worth those prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Don't listen to the naysayer above. Absolutely stellar series. I'd honestly pay $300 for it. Considering how expensive it is to film documentaries like this, its actual price is really generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 I wonder if they will ever work out a deal to put it on Netflix or Hulu. It seems like it would reach the most people that way--like, the people who are not already in the choir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that PBS aired 3 or 4 of the episodes, but even PBS has a limited audience compared to Netflix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
