Unlock Hidden 3D Footage - AVATAR Collector's Edition DVD

By AVATAR on Dec 02, 2010 8:36 AM 2 Comments
The original AVATAR DVD that released on Earth Day had no hidden videos or Easter eggs (although it did have a few special features) - but the Extended Blu-ray Collector's Edition DVD has two! In addition to the 45 minutes of deleted scenes, you'll find 2 hidden video featurettes on disc 3 of the Collector's Set. The featurettes were first uncovered by fans on the AVS Forum - which also means there could still be other hidden features just waiting to be found by future fans.
To find the 2 featurettes discovered so far, pop in disc 3, scroll down to the end of the menu where it says "Live Extras" and then press right one more time as if you're trying to scroll to the beginning of the loop. When you do, this pops up an egg-like image. Select it and you'll uncover 2 hidden videos – the theater trailer in 3D and Pandora Discovered 3D. Of course, you'll need 3D glasses to fully appreciate both.
So what's in the two AVATAR 3D Easter eggs or hidden featurettes? The theater trailer is the same three-minute trailer you've seen before, and one of the most viewed trailers in history – but in eye-popping 3D. The second one, Pandora Discovered 3D, is a four-minute video that's included elsewhere in the collection, but this version is in 3D. Narrated by Sigourney Weaver as Dr. Grace Augustine, it's a fast-paced overview of the native animals and wildlife, clans and religion of Pandora – as well as the science and technology of the humans. As Daily Game points out, these featurettes are the only way that you'll be able to see AVATAR in 3D at home for some time unless you buy a Panasonic Viera 3D TV bundle.

AVATAR is now available in 3D on Blu-ray! What? Yes, that's right – if you buy a Panasonic 3D TV starting Dec. 1 you'll get AVATAR in 3D bundled with it in the Panasonic 3D Ultimate Pack. Fox gave Panasonic an exclusive license to include the 3D Blu-ray of AVATAR with sales of its 3D TVs starting Dec 1st.
As first reported by TWICE:

At launch, running through an undisclosed period of time, the disc will only be available to consumers who purchase a Panasonic 3D Viera plasma TV. The promotional offer will likely take the form of a variety of bundles onto the purchase of Viera 3D TVs and related equipment, although exact details are still to be announced, the company said.

TVs include the TC-PVT20/25 series, which has been available starting in April, and the recently announced TC-PGT25 series. Current owners of Panasonic 3D TVs will also be able to claim a copy of the 3D Blu-Ray disc for free. More details here. If you don't want a new set to get Avatar in Blu-ray 3D you can also buy the 3D Full HD Ultimate Pack separately for $399.95. And if you already own a 3D TV, check out James Cameron's recommended settings for watching Avatar in 3D.
