OK folks, I will personally testify to this one. I own both Planet Earth and Galapagos on Blu-ray and breathtaking is such an understatement that I should be lambasted for it, but for lack of a better word, it’s breathtakingly awesome. The new BBC HD Natural History Collection not only shows of the entire planet in Planet Earth, the amazing Galapagos Islands in Galapagos, but it also covers China, and the Ganges River in India. Wild China has an entire chapter on pandas, and who the hell doesn’t love pandas? Ganges covers the life giving and life taking river in India, and if you’ve ever seen the gharial (narrow snout crocodile) that alone justifies watching that series. Watching nature documentaries in High-Def nearly puts any Blu-ray Hollywood movie to shame. Just see for yourself. $125.

Who says good things can’t come in small packages? Well this handy little camcorder from flip just might change your mind. With 2 GB of onboard memory the pocket-sized Mino can take up to 60 minutes of video. With the included cable, watch these videos on your TV, or on your laptop via USB. Also included are easy options to upload to your favorite video sites, like youtube. $145.

Fantasize about being in the Mob with the Gangsters Ultimate Film Collection. It comes with four classics such as Scarface, Casino, Carlito’s Way, and American Gangster. The 9-disc set offers you awesome additions to your DVD collection with names like Pacino, De Niro, Scorsese, and De Palma. $49.
