Blu-ray special edition info

That story has a whole lot of information on the November release of the special edition, and man, does it sound awesome :D Three versions of the movie and the feature I wanted most, a full-time picture-in-picture showing the motion capture of the entire movie.

Woooo! thanks for the link zongtseng :) soo hopefully my pre-ordered blu-ray avatar will have one of those discount things for the november release too, although we seem to get shafted with most things like that in oz.

The special edition sounds pretty sweet and thanks for the info zongtseng.


I would like to shake Mr. Cameron's hand for this! This looking through a slit 2.35:1 ratio stuff that's happening pisses me off to no end:angry: It waste valuable screen area with those stupid black bars. At least the bare bones version is being done the right way, in 16:9:)

Sounds great, Good job we have all preordered ours <33333

This is awesome! I almost want to buy a new tv and everything before it comes out :D

Also, are they doing it in 3D? I wonder if it will be the same on personal TV's

Haha, i don't use a tv for any of my media entertainment (everything on my pc) but i have pre-ordered Avatar on Blu-ray, soo no incentive to put a blu-ray drive in my computer like it being necessary to watch the greatest film ever made! :party:

I can't wait :D

who of you will buy the DVD version that is coming soon? because I don not know what to do, first I have to buy a PS3 to get the blu-ray... then of course wait to November for the special edition
thanks for the link and the info, so which kind of screen could it play AVATAR? 23" or more, I´m lost sorry

I second this! ^ :D :D :D

I'm counting hours, here!

oh dear, I might have to shell out the money for both. I was going to wait until the end of the year to buy the special edition. My brother is planning on buying the one that is coming out next month so I'll just use his for the time being. The special edition sounds awesome :).

yes yes YES!!! Irayo for the link! Ugh I wish that the government didn't suck my bank account for nearly all the money I had for taxes, I want a new TV sooooo badly for Avatar, but I'll have to stick with ours. Don't get me wrong, its big, it just could be bigger... oh well time for the coffee table to find a new spot in the den because I'm going to be sitting pretty much right were thats at. Close, large, and loud! And I'll need a PS3 or other 3-D compatible Blue-Ray player before the 22nd. I'll make it happen :D Anyone want to invite me over to watch on their massive TV?

I also want to sign up for all the other bonus stuff they have, like the trees and such

wow!
30 to 35 min extra?
do want indeed

Awesome! Now, if only I had a big-screen TV and a Blu-ray drive. :) Well, the DVD should still be awesome ... right?

The DVD will obviously be alot more Awesome than not having it at all! ;)

I'm waiting for the special edition on Dvd :D

I want to wait til November but Idk if I can make it :D

Hmm...

It says that the Blu-ray that is released now will have these mighty features... But are they going to be on the director's cut too? Because my plans are not to buy the blu-ray now and wait till november...

Kaltxi,

Will the blu-ray version have extra footage/content?

I'm gonna have to sell loads of stuff just to buy a telly :( Poor student LOL

Bit of numpty question, but can you get Laptops that play blu-ray then....he stands well back, awaiting the onslaught :)

Tu'te

Yes, some do have a bluray drive. You'll need to look around though, and they tend to be more expensive ones.

I just went out and bought myself a Bluray player, I was worried about a drive.
Yeah, So I hope that Avatar is in 1.78:1 Aspect because I just watched the Dark Knight in Bluray and the IMAX sequences were O_O

It's been confirmed by James Cameron that the blu-ray is in fact 1.78:1

Sorry, but would anyone care to answer that?
It says that the Blu-ray that is released now will have these unique code features... But are they going to be on the director's cut too?

And now I'm wodering, is the code stuff on every edition that wwill be released or only one the Blu-ray + DVD 2 disk edition? (like what about DVD or single disk Blu-ray?)

me too :P

I think it would be cool to have all three different releases of Avatar :D

I'm getting the DVD and bluray now, then will get the Bluray special edition in November :)

I want the 3D bluray eventually, but no point in it for the foreseeable future as I would need a 3D TV...

I thought we would only need a bluray capable of 3D?

I would buy a 3-D TV just for Avatar :D

IIRC, at least for proper 3D (not the low quality imitation 3D with two different coloured images, which AFAIK Avatar won't be in), you need a TV capable of displaying a 3D image.

DANG! I did not know that! Looks like I will be buying a new TV than :D

I'm trying to convince my dad to get us a new tv so we can get a bluray. He's really into "current" stuff, so hopefully we will get one!

I think this too, the problem is the price , it will be around 2,200$

After almost a year ?

I think prizes will go down when 3D becomes a bit more common. It's still a long time before 3D version of Avatar will be available. :)

I think the price of 3D TV is actually quite low, given the newness of the technology. Many people here may be too young to remember some other prices for new technology. For instance, my first big screen television was a 50" projection TV with a bad picture, and that was over $3000. Prices for some of these new 3D TVs are right in line with what a good LCD/plasma can cost right now.

Yea every time I tell people around how much they cost and they look at me with surprise and say, "Wow, thats all?" its surprisingly low... obviously not low enough for me to buy but... you guys get the picture

Ha ha, "Get the picture" You know? 'Cause were talking about TVs?
.......Ok, Im going back to my Jake thread.

1.78:1
Awesome, this is great news. I love when I get to use my entire screen.
Can't wait for the Blu-Ray!
