Panasonic’s Exclusive Avatar 3D Promotion

You’ve seen Avatar in 3D in the theater—now watch it in high-def at home. Panasonic has officially announced its exclusive Avatar 3D Blu-Ray DVD, which is available as part of the “Panasonic 3D Ultimate Pack” free with the purchase of a Panasonic VIERA 3D HDTV. The package includes the DVD, two sets of 3D glasses, and even a Full HD 3D TV Blu-Ray Player. While this promotion officially launched on December 1, those who purchased a VIERA 3D TV before that date are still eligible for a copy of the DVD via a mail-in offer. The Avatar 3D Blu-Ray disc is not yet available at retail, and Panasonic holds the exclusive rights to sell it, so the discs that have trickled onto eBay are pretty pricey—“above the $200 mark, while the highest sold price we saw was $399 about a week ago,” reports Engadget, “although considering a copy of Bee Movie went for $400 back in the day, we can’t say we’re too surprised.”
If you snag a copy of the DVD, you might as well watch it with James Cameron’s recommended settings. Meanwhile, those who purchased the 3-disc Avatar Extended Collector’s Edition on Blu-Ray can preview a bit of 3D themselves (uh, if they have a 3D TV and glasses, of course): “AVSForum poster josephcoatar discovered that by fiddling with the menus, you can unlock an Easter Egg that pops up two 3D special features, the three and a half minute extended theatrical trailer and a four minute ‘Pandora Discovered’ featurette…[go] to ‘Live Extras’ in the main menu of disc three, [press] down, and [slip] on some 3D glasses.” More Avatar Easter Egg details here.
