While Avatar has been available on Blu-ray 3D as an exclusive release with Panasonic 3DTVs for some time, the $2.7 billion dollar hit has yet to have been made widely available on the format -- an odd choice given the film is easily one of the best showcases of 3D out there.
At current, the disc sells on marketplaces like eBay and Amazon for about $60-150! With Avatar's Panasonic deal ending this year, however, it was only a matter of time before an official release would be announced.
As it turns out, James Cameron himself made the announcement today, via Avatar's Facebook page. Check out the video below:
There's no word yet on full specs or bonus features, or whether this retail version of the Blu-ray 3D will include the various extended/alternate cuts of the film. James Cameron didn't mention an exact release date, either.
Hopefully it won't be September 18th or 25th. Those days are crowded enough as it is, with titles like Alfred Hitchock: The Masterpiece Collection, Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures, Cabin in the Woods, Bond 50 and, of course, the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One box set, as well as The Avengers and many, many others.
Naturally, we'll keep you posted on any news regarding this release. Expect a more detailed announcement soon.
