Well, look what has turned up.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Avatar-Speci...4331146&sr=1-3

Looks like 2 versions, the higher priced latter edition is limited to 1,000 copies, Numbered.

Avatar Collectors Extended Edition Blu-ray

Avatar Limited Edition Collector's edition (1000 copies)

[Kynch]

They used the SteelBook artwork. Odd.

[LordCrumb]

Not that odd, it says 'TBC' at the bottom.

[nekromantik]

It is not 3D.

its gonna be a 3 disc special edition with the extra scenes in the re released version and 14 or so more mins of extra scenes.

There will be a 3D Blu-ray available this year, packaged with the Panasonic 3D Viera plasma TV. However the article says that it's only relevant for the US market, so I don't know if it will apply to us or not.

Avatar Collectors Extended Edition Blu-ray

Avatar Limited Edition Collector's edition (1000 copies)

Play has them both up for pre-order(yes I know this was posted )

I never bought Avatar originally as I was waiting for this but God, which one to get now? I'm not sure I can justify the LCE.

Just a heads up to all those who have pre-ordered the limited 1000 run, Play.com states: Includes exclusive film cell, printed with the signature of director James Cameron - which basically means the signature will be printed and not originally signed by Mr Cameron.

I bloody knew it, what a rip off!!! Glad I gave the Steelbook a miss first time round as it means I don't have to double dip on the Extended Collector's Edition

Apart from the film cell and numbering, is there anything that the Limited Edition has over the normal Special Edition?
