Avatar is coming to DVD/Blu-ray as early as next month, but it will be a no-frills 2D release. If you already bought your 3D TV for it, too bad. Avatar will have its first DVD/Blu-ray release on April 22, but you won’t find a single bonus feature anywhere. None of the stuff you love, like trailers, making-of featurettes, or commentary
Sources at Fox are saying that this is because they want all available storage space to be used for the best picture and sound possible. If you want all of the extra stuff, there’s a Special Edition coming in November, possibly with two discs.
A 3D version will arrive in 2011.

Hahahaha…. “All available storage space to be used for the best picture and sound possible”…
If that is the case, why not just release the 2 or 3 disc version today instead of over the next year… Oh yeah, cause then they can’t TRIPLE DIP and get you to buy the 2D, 2D Special Edition, and 3d editions….
F them. I’ll rent it on redbox for a buck and wait the year for 3D.
I’m over this multi release bullshit, release a blu ray with 2d and 3d versions instead of ripping people off, a dual layer blu ray could easily fit both versions so not only are they full of crap they are using the cheapest single layer blu ray discs as an excuse for lack of content.
The reason it was released in 2d was because DirecTV spent $100 million to launch a new satellite for broadcasting 3d programming earlier this year. They have a deal to show 3d Avatar as “Pay Per View” four months before Avatar is released in 3-d on Blue-ray. So don’t shelve those 3-d televisions just yet. And don’t sign up for Dish Network, since they don’t even have blueprints for a new satellite. They will be at least 5 years behind DirecTV delivering 3d content, assuming they remain in business that long.
Know one had 3D tv’s lol like if u look at the population as a whole haha , but yeah ill’ed sey about end of 2011 the earliest
.
Because they’ll be a decent amont of movies comming out on 3D round then and it’ll about a whole Xmas session to go bye and let the pricers go down on 3Dtv sets not that there that dear but they’ll be at better prices for alot more people to afford
.
Theres nothink really to watch on 3Dtv’s yet i dont even think the half-baked version of Clash(CASH) of the Titans will get released , the studioes should redo there conversion and release it on bluray saddly there be too lazy and wont , never the less next yeah will be more aimed at 3D , Saw 3D , Residen Evil:After Life , Jackass 3D , Sanctum , will all appear on Bluray 3D
hopfully more broadcasts too
i have a 3d tv and all i do is up convert showes it cool but i want more stuff on disk……the moive the doors in 3d is cool if u can try it….
I am a directv subscriber, but if i weren’t as so many people aren’t…why did no one build a 3d blu ray player/tv tuner with the emitter built into it instead of in the tv? They “forced digital tv’s onto the public, and came right behind this with 3D tv’s with built in emitters. I’m still paying for the 58″ tv I now very regretfully bought just before the 3D tv’s came available. If Sony has a separate emitter unit, why wouldn’t a 3d player/tv tuner be possible? (till I can start paying for a new tv again)
