I'll hold off until the 3D versions come out. I just hope they can perfect the 3D DVD/Blu-Rays for this release. The Red/Blue glasses are never good enough!

yeah they already announced a bigger multi disc edition will come out this november. i assume that'll also have both 2D and 3D versions and it'll probably be the first movie to take advantage of 3D tvs. so no more red/blue glasses...woo. lol
i'll just wait til november cuz i'm a sucker for extras. but i dont care about 3D, while neat to see it added nothing so 2D is enough.

I do not think there will be a 3D home release until at least 2011. It simply makes no sense to release it at the moment.
There will be a multi-disc feature rich version in November/December however. Extended cut is rumoured, but not definite (Cameron says they are thinking of doing an extended theatrical re-release... if that happens, then I would expect an extended cut on the Ultimate edition)

I don't really plan on buying a 3D TV. I might get this by using a part of a 60 dollar gift card I got off my rewards points at Best Buy. The movie overall was just okay.
Enjoyed the movie. Special effects amazed me. HOWEVER, the story/plot was extremely unoriginal. It was almost an EXACT copy of Dances with Wolves.
Not one of the best movies ever, but a damn good one at that. Day 1 purchase
Really great film. I'll wait for the Nov/Dec release, not for the possibility of it in 3D but b/c I'd like to see the extras they'd add to it.
great movie! Although it ripped off a of a few movies, I enjoyed this movie a lot. Not as good as The Hurt Locker or Inglourious Basterds, but it was still great. I'm not buying into this 3d gimmick. I won't buy into this whole 3D blu-ray mess until they have the technology where I don't have to wear $100 glasses to watch the film ontop of the expensive 3D TV and 3D Blu-ray Player. Plus they'll probably charge $40 for the actual 3D blu-ray disks. Rip OFF!
The movie is a technical achievement in and of itself, but the plot was just highly derivative. The most overrated movie of the decade (in my opinion), with "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" trailing alongside it.
Will rent this version.
I'll watch it again even without the 3D.
Um, yeah, I'll wait til hell gets iced before I buy the tenth anniversary Jake Sully Parapelegic 3-D multi disc N'avi edition to AVATAR.
The multi-disc blu-ray will sit in its own wheel chair & will give off a Pandora glow when the sun goes down. 20th Century Fox is going to re-release this so many times over the next ten years, I get sick just thinking about it.

I dislike the trend of releasing a bare-bones version whilst telling us there'll be a Special Edition down the track. Why not wait just a little longer and release one definitive version and be done with it?
I find it extremely disappointing that Cameron used this movie to build the buzz for 3D and now he says it won't be out on 3D Blu-Ray until at least next year because Fox wants more 3D hardware penetration in the market first. Thanks a lot Jimbo.
So what, we're gonna see 3 separate Blu-Ray releases for Avatar? Great.
I'm sick of the excessive milking that goes on and the consumer being treated with such disrespect.

Except for the fact that Dances With Wolves was essentially a retelling of Pocahontas during the Civil War. Everyone seems to forget this fact.
Actually, if I were to say it ripped off anything it would be "A Princess of Mars". Much more similar given the genre and cultural aspects. I feel bad for Andrew Stanton who has his direct adaptation gearing up.
Regardless, I loved the flick for what it was and thought the story was more than decent enough to give some palpable emotional support to the insane effects. It should be pretty easy to hold off until December, so as long as it's widely known that there's going to be a double dip, I really just don't see a problem with it.

This is absolute s**t. It isn't enough that throngs of people have put this film beyond any other, they can't give us a decent Blu-Ray release for this film? Instead, we get a single no frills disk and then the double dip in November. Supposedly they are going to use every single bit of the 50mb of space on the April 22nd Blu-Ray relase. I HIGHLY doubt that. So they expect we will buy that mess and turn around and buy it again in the same year? No thank you 20th Century Fox, you will only get my money once and it isn't going to be until November.
I didn't like this beyond the visual effects. It's okay, but hardly a great film. Although, I did like the 'Creating the World of Pandora' feature, that was really interesting.
The artwork sucks
I hope they use the French movie poster as the artwork for the special editions.

One of 2009's best films, so I will buy the DVD without hesitation, it's worth every penny even if they release 3 different versions later.
Confirmed that no extras will be included on either
Since it is more-or-less confirmed that there will be more editions released down the line, I don't think they are being unfair. Remember, Cameron needs to get that couple of hundred million bucks that Avatar lost because of Alice in Wonderland!
I didn't much care for the movie. I saw the best possible presentation - Imax 3D. I don't think I will buy this. It is a technical achievement, but on the whole it is far from satisfactory. And I've just made the transition to HD, so I definately will not be upgrading to 3D soon. And Avatar is almost nothing if not 3D!

I actually enjoyed this. Do you really need a special TV and Bluray player to buy 3D Home Entertainment, cause I really don't need to waste $$$ just for this.
Also I wonder what are plans for Toy Story 3 if they will release just regular or 3D Bluray?

I'm a sucker, so I'll most likely end up buying all three Blus. I just really want this movie in my collection. :p
If it means anything, I'm hearing that the PlayStation3 will be upgradable to 3D Blu-ray with just a firmware update. So that just leaves upgrading the TV for some.

It honestly kind of upsets me that they'll release the better version much later, af if we haven't been waiting enough. I'll probably buy the first version (probably cause I love the movie so much), and see what the 3-d one is like based on a review or something.
MBJ,
"As if we haven't been waiting enough"? Really? A December to April wait is considered a long wait now? ESPECIALLY for the most successful film of all time? Titanic wasn't available on home video until September of the following year. December 'til September. I'm actually surprised Avatar will be available so quickly. But, considering it has zero extras and the 3-D version will likely still be playing, it's not so crazy.

I'm hoping for a lenticular splip cover
sad to see this but when it comes down to it i want the movie, i only watch the extras once, bought the 3 disc of 2012 and for what??
i will get the movie in april pass on november but might get the 3d next year when it comes out i am just curious how the single disc is suppose to be a super bit, i thought that is why blu ray is?? and with all the space on the disc left, i am curious to find out how better they can make the movie on blu ray making it a super bit disc, i still think that the studio heads are just saying that to make a excuse for a bare bones disc,
but to put out not one but three different releases in the next 2 years is just plain wrong, specially in the economy the way it is, to take advantage of the customers like that, that bad boy disc in april better come to be a damm steel book!!! at least and no price of 24 or 25 dollars barebones should be 19.99 for bluray

I LOVED the movie, I don't really care it's not in 3D, but lack of extras are a turn off. Not to mention the awful poster they used for the cover... still, its a crime not to get this in HD...
Not buying this. I think I'm the only person on the planet who didn't like this film. It was enjoyable, but not as great as some are making it out to be. Big disappointment for me.

it was nowhere even close to being as AWESOME and AMAZING as everyone was saying. i personally did like it but it was just good, thats it. the 3D was pointless and added nothing, it was like watching a moving Viewmaster.
but sadly there are always movies that "everyone" thinks is amazing and mind blowing and then you finally see it and realize they were wrong, lying, high or all three.
also i just realized the cover is like old art or something. other than being yellow, her eye looks like a normal human eye there. while in the movie they have these big, cat-like eyes that sorta go up.
interesting.

*Yawn*
Saw it in IMAX 3d, no home video version will ever come close. The movie was bad anyway.
