Ah I wish that Shark Week 20th Anniversay was on sale. Guess I'll pick it up today at BB for $16.99 plus a bonus disc.

I just got my order confirmation, and I had kind of forgotten what I'd ordered. The email had a line with "Best of Disco" and I was nervous until I realized it was short for Best of Discovery.

Heh, me too. I even got Discovery on the phone before I figured it out.
Got the Discover Atlas set today. It's packaged kinda weird. Each disc is in its own digipak, in a sleeve, with all 4 sleeves in a box that's apparently sized for 4 1/2 sleeves, so they all kinda flop around in there. When you take a sleeve out and remove the digipak, it's left-handed.... in that the spine is on your right when you're looking at the cover. The box has a nice, heavy, leathery feel to it (even though I know it's just coated cardstock), but the sleeves and digipaks feel like cheap paper. And when you slide them back in the box, the sleeves can get hung up on cutouts on the front of adjacent sleeves, so you have to put them in carefully lest you rip/crumple part of the sleeve.
For $5 a disc, I'm not complaining ... much. But for the quality I'm expecting from the discs, I guess was expecting something better than 'cheap' for the packaging. There's no way I'm letting the 6 y/o touch these, they're too fragile.

Get as close to a shark as you'd ever want! Watch a veteran diver fight for her life during a shark attack and visit a remote oasis in the Pacific Ocean where the fins of hundreds of sharks can be seen at once. Follow researchers as they discover why sharks attack – all while putting their lives in danger to understand this elusive and often misunderstood creature of the deep.
The Science Of Shark Attacks
Although shark attacks are rare, learn about the high-tech measures used to prevent deadly encounters and the medical breakthroughs that can change victims' lives.
Shark Hunter: Chasing The Great White
Meet Frank "Monster Man" Mundus, the legendary shark-hunter turned hands-on conservationist who may have inspired a character in the hit 1975 film Jaws. Follow the inventor of Monster Fishing as he gears up for one final adventure – aiding researchers in a harrowing hands-on study of the dangerous tiger shark.
Anatomy of a Shark Bite
Take an inside look at the jaws of the ocean's most fearsome sharks and watch the exclusive footage of a shark bite in action. Listen to world-renowned shark experts weigh the differences between "bites" and "attacks" as they break down attack footage, frame-by-frame, to discover why some sharks go in for the kill.
Tiger Shark Attack: Beyond Fear
Journey to a quaint community in Hawaii, where tiger sharks are an ever-present danger. These predators – known to eat anything, including tires and license plates – have inspired researchers to flock to Hawaii in search of answers.
Dive To Shark Volcano
Travel to a place with so many sharks it was dubbed "Shark Island" by the few who have been there. Learn how underwater volcanoes sustain a food chain that ends with hundreds of feeding sharks. Then, follow advanced technical divers as they explore volcanic caverns to bring you brilliant images of fish, porpoises, giant mantas and white-tip reef sharks.
Sharkbite! Surviving Great Whites
Experience the drama of two real-life attack stories. Watch as surfers and divers re-tell their terrifying encounters with sharks and meet a man who lost his leg, but lived to tell the tale. Also, hear the story of the diver dragged more than 300 feet by a great white.
American Shark
Visit the feeding frenzy at "shark bite central" to explore decaying shipwrecks that have become homes to various sharks. Spend time with the brave researchers who have lived – and nearly died – for America's sharks in a thrilling 13,000-mile journey from Maine to Alaska.
Primal Scream
Real-life footage and dramatic re-enactments tell the story of veteran underwater photographer, Valerie De La Valdene, who almost lost her life when an aggressive Galapagos shark attacked. See the events unfold as they happened through the lens of her handheld camera.

The Mythbusters Pilots DVD has been added to the sale finally, but at $9.99. I think I'm still going to jump on it.Originally Posted by joltman
Do they usually end up lowering prices of DVDs while the sale goes on, or is what is discounted all that's going to be? I seem to remember at previous sales that other DVDs would go down while the sale was on. I'm hoping that the MythBusters Pilots DVD goes down to $5 like I think it did before.
EDIT: I went for it. Of course one of the DVDs, The Seven Wonders of Ancient Egypt, is now gone. Oh well.
Mythbusters Pilots
Mythbusters Jaws Special
Living With Wolves
Living With Tigers
