It's official, folks -- the movie Avatar on Blu-ray 3D is 2010's Tickle Me Elmo for the holiday shopping season. That's because there are just a few ways you can get your mitts one of the season's hottest items. The first is by purchasing a Panasonic 3D TV. The second is by hitting up Ebay, Craigslist, or wherever else you tap into the used market, and if you're lucky, you may find one listed for just a couple hundred bucks.
Panasonic's exclusivity agreement to carry the Blu-ray 3D version of James Cameron's popular flick means you're pretty much boned if you don't own a 3D set from Panny. But don't despair if you promised little Johnny the 3D version of Avatar this holiday. Yet another option is to shell out for Panasonic's 3D Ultimate Pack, a $400 bundle that includes a Blu-ray 3D player, two pairs of active 3D shutter glasses, and of course Avatar in Blu-ray 3D.
Happy holidays?

so i could buy the bundle with a 3d blu-ray player and glasses and then sell the movie for the same price and get a free player and glasses... Hmmm, sounds like a winner there. :)
Steve Jobs is the Devil and will sell you the same movie for $1600 for your non blu-ray PowerMac

So i read up on the bundle at Panasonic's website. No where does it mention a 3d blu-ray player included with the bundle so in that case, this looses bc why do i want just glasses?
Steve Jobs is the Devil and when asked about how come Mac users don't see 3-d on their Mac's, he says they are watching it wrong! :)

Sounds pretty sensible, actually. I s'pose everyone really wins (though, you win more)

It's not that Avatar was a bad movie. It was a nice big ole' slab o' eye candy. Beyond that, it was pretty ho-hum. Interesting in its premise, yet trite in the plot devices. If we're talkin' 3-D Cameron flicks, I think I'd rather see ANYTHING ELSE (except for Piranha) that he did in 3-D at home than this.
Unlike most of Cameron's other flicks, I think Avatar has very little re-watch benefit. I'd rather see Kramer vs. Kramer or 12 Angry Men in 3-D than watch this snoozefest again.

Come on, It's a new generation. How easy would it be for you to get your teen ager to sit down long enough to watch Dances With Wolves? It's old, boring, and not in 3D...lol. It was a good movie with great graphics and tells a great story. So what if they borrowed from DWW, would you have rather them remake the move with kevin costner?

People, say it with me: "No movie is worth $400"... Repeat as necessary.

That movie was the biggest POS I've see in years. Nothing but Dances with Wolves - in space! In 3D! Big evil greedy corporation run by white man supresses poor blue natives. Lefty crap. I'm suprised they didn't call the company Walmartianium and give the military guy in charge the last name Bush.
