Which Avatar release are you going to buy? - Blu-ray Forum

Sgtpepper27 · 03-18-2010, 08:07 AM

Theres plenty threads discussing the merits etc of the Avatar releases due out this year.

I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone plans on buying, so are buying the superbit (steelbook or 'standard') the ultimate, both superbit and ultimate????

To start off, theres a very good chance i'll double dip for both the superbit and ultimates

ChrisDilke · 03-18-2010, 08:48 AM

I have pre-ordered the Superbit Steelbook, because I love the film that much and also because I wanted the free T-shirt from Play.com. But I might double-dip with the ultimate release.

Taat · 03-18-2010, 09:17 AM

Same i have pre ordered the SB format with the free T-Shirt.

Blaumann · 03-18-2010, 10:32 AM

I plan to get the "Superbit" (LOL), once it's available for 10quid.

Sky_Captain · 03-18-2010, 10:35 AM

None.

Billz · 03-18-2010, 10:40 AM

Superbit with free T-Shirt for now, but when the Ultimate edition is released, probably without a steelbook, i'll double dip and just swap the Superbit disc out with the Ultimate disc as I would want to keep the steelbook casing.

Blu_Ray_UK2007 · 03-18-2010, 11:17 AM

Steelbook.

KingSimba · 03-18-2010, 02:12 PM

Superbit Steelbook with T-Shirt now.

Might consider double-dipping on the November release depending on whats on it exactly and how much.

The Duke · 03-18-2010, 02:24 PM

I think "barebones" is probably a more accurate description of the April release, but we'll see. At any rate, I'm importing the Amazon UK Steelbook - no interest in the glow in the dark t-shirt from play.com, and I'm not much extra features - hard enough to make the time to watch the movie - so no double dip in November for me. And, although not part of the poll, I have absolutely zero interest in the 3D version, whenever Fox decides there's enough hardware base to make a triple dip worth their while.

BD3Dfan · 03-18-2010, 04:06 PM

I'll get the Superbit standard. Sure, this means that I won't get the steelbook case and 4 art cards, plus the free book that I can buy seperatly, but hey, at least I'll still have the movie.

Kurgen1975 · 03-18-2010, 04:10 PM

Steelbook for me on first release, the second release will depend on how much extra footage is in the movie, and the price

mugupo · 03-18-2010, 04:22 PM

I might get the steelbook releaes next month, November is too long and is not sure whether there's steelbook for that one.

DetroitSportsFan · 03-18-2010, 05:18 PM

"Superbit" steelbook and Ultimate steelbook.

meehan · 03-18-2010, 05:49 PM

None for me. Thought that aside from the visuals it was a very average film and one that I will not watch again in a hurry.

Johnny Vinyl · 03-18-2010, 06:13 PM

I've heard so many mixed comments about this movie, that I think I'll give it a rental first. If I like it, I'll buy the regualr Superbit version only. I love movies, but I'm not a collector, so the Steelbook Editions or the Ulimate Edition would be wasted on me.

Dwight Schrute · 03-18-2010, 06:16 PM

£25 for a movie? No thanks. I'll get the standard and save a nice amount...

Filmmaker · 03-18-2010, 07:08 PM

A Blu-ray with no bonus features whatsoever? Yeah, sure, right--pass. Ultimate Edition in November for me.

I don't think I've ever watched a bonus feature in my life!

Fair enough waiting though, I'm sure the ultimate edition will have loads.

Blu-Benny · 03-18-2010, 07:39 PM

Seeing how it’ll b just the movie that comes out in April, I’ll get that one when it’s around $15….b/c w/no spec. features, it better be cheaper than the typical blu.

Dwight Schrute · 03-18-2010, 07:42 PM

Anyone else find it annoying that they make you buy the DVD and Blu-Ray version? Why not just release the Blu on its own...
