possible misunderstanding

People in the US who have purchased the (Attenborough) version from the UK will most likely find that it will not play in their US Blu-ray player. It's because the disc is encoded at 1080i/50, not 1080i/60. The disc from the UK is actually not region locked (it says Region B, but from several accounts it's not locked to only B players as some people are playing their imported Blu-ray in their 1080i/50 capable US player).

What will be released in the US, in June, are 4 versions of Life. There will be 2 DVDs and 2 Blu-rays, all of which will play in US players. One DVD and one Blu-ray will be narrated by David Attenborough and one DVD and one Blu-ray will be narrated by Oprah Winfrey. Same video, just different narrators.

People interested in this disc should do themselves a big favor and read the reviews. One narrator shines (Attenborough) and the other does not (Winfrey).
