So still no sign of a commentary?
Also, that packaging confuses me. Why is there a DVD in the case and how come it has a plastic case when the packaging makes it look like a digipack?

ASDA also says it's sold out. I'd wait a while before official specs.

And here I was, hoping it would be a 2-disc release so that I could swap out the discs in my steelbook.

Ah well.

True, although their details sound/read awfully like it was copied from a press release. Should be soon before we hear/read something.
Plus, it still doesn't excuse the picture.

Barebones edition is still £23 in Tesco's

Hopefully it will come down to £10 when Special Edition comes out as I expect that to be quite pricey.

kalifire · 10-03-2010, 01:17 PM

Agreed. I'm expecting to be paying between £20 and £25 online before Christmas. I dread to imagine what the retail price will be, probably £30+

You cant be a big fan then to miss out on all the extra features and 16mins added to the movie.

I wasn't a fan of the movie

Up for preorder on Play for a very reasonable £17.99.

£17.99 is that bad, especially when you consider what you're getting and the original release was on average at £14.99.

I will eventually get this release, but probably not immediately because there are too many expensive releases as there is and I also already own the Steelbook.

Surprised at this. The original release is listed on PLAY at £27.99. Best to pre-order before the price goes up.

Grubert · 10-05-2010, 01:43 PM

Ridiculously low, I meant. For what you get, it's a steal. And I'm no Avatar fan.

There is also a limited SE package being released...

Wow

I wonder how much they're going to charge for that though

kalifire · 10-05-2010, 02:10 PM

Wow, that limited edition looks really lovely.

Meanwhile, I've pre-ordered @ Play, but will cancel if it's cheaper elsewhere. For now it seems reasonable.

,deeii · 10-05-2010, 02:16 PM

Limited Edition looks sweet! Hopefully more info about that one soon!

jstn · 10-05-2010, 02:16 PM

LE is £89.99 at Play. They want an extra £72.00 for the book and film cell?

Yep just checked, 125 euro is way to much for the LE.

Looks like I wont be double-dipping on Avatar then, or atleast not anytime soon

Stu123 · 10-05-2010, 02:40 PM

Few years ago i would jump at something like this but i agree with what was said before im not paying around £70 for a film cell,box and book.Considering theres only 1000 of them though its probably worth that as an investment and more but not literally worth it.Im surprised how cheap the 3 disc edition is im much more tempted with that for a great price than the limted set.
