  • Dutch and Dutch 8C's…yes they are that good!
According to reports, in just four days, Blu-ray sales of 'Avatar' sold a staggering 2.7 million units in North America alone, completely smashing the previous record of 2.5 million units.

The juggernaut just keeps going...

That's just crazy.
Then of course the 3D version is going to usher in a whole new era.  That will sell steadily as people transition to 3D so they are going to double dip on record breaking sales.

I enjoyed the Blu-ray, the PQ was outstanding and the audio was pretty good too.
As far as the 3D version I don’t feel the 3D thing is going to go over that well at Christmas.

Hated Titanic but enjoyed Avatar, probably because I watched it on IMAX 3D..

I was without a sub when I first watched Avatar on Blu Ray. My new sub came a few days ago and so I watched a few scenes and  :drool: :drool: :drool:!!! I think the 3D experience was the only thing missing...

Yes Avatar was a very good computermovie. Probably the best I have ever seen. But Hurt locker was a better real life movie. That's why it won the Best picture of 2009.

Does using really big text make your point any more valid?

I missed Avatar in the theater but watched it on Blu Ray a few days ago.  I very much enjoyed it and I usually don't go for films that are CGI heavy.  I haven't seen Hurt Locker yet but it is on my list.  Too many films to see and not enough time...

I missed the chance to see Avatar in the theater... I really wanted to go just could never find the time.  I loved it in Blu-ray on my calibrated Pioneer KRP-500M through my Oppo BDP-83 & Pioneer Elite SC-25 receiver.  I plan to buy a 65" Panasonic 3D Plasma in the fall if they've resolved their black level problems.  I cannot wait to see Avatar in 3D.

As for Titanic I just have one thing to say when will it release on Blu-ray?  I've owned it on Laserdisc and DVD and I'll buy the Blu-ray when it is released.

I saw it in 3D with my 9-year old, and it was ok ( the plot sucks IMHO) I do not see the point to own a copy in any format  :?

The "true" Blu-Ray version will not be out until the November 2010 - it will have the special features that Blu-Rays are all supposed to have  :roll:

Then sometime next year the 3D version will come out.

The versions available now have no special features - none!

"As it turns out, Fox has craftily decided to milk "Avatar" for every possibly penny, since the debut DVD/blu-ray will be a bare-bones release -- and it will be one of the first major films to appear in home video without any of the regular special features, such as theatrical trailers, deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes footage.

The movie is entertaining, but the story isn't anything new, it's been told many times before.
Visually it's  stunning and is worth it for that alone.
