Did you stay with the first Avatar release or upgrade to the CE? - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

Rolo01 · 12-10-2010, 12:03 AM

I hope they end up selling the extended blu separate. I don't want those extra collector discs it comes with. Just the extend movie version.

mentaltweak · 12-10-2010, 12:04 AM

Wasn't there for the first Avatar release as I was not full throttle into collecting blus at that time. An announcement about the CE, I figured I'd wait to get this.

SteelPen · 12-10-2010, 12:16 AM

I skipped the original release and only bought the CE.

Josh5890 · 12-10-2010, 01:04 AM

Sold my 1st edition on ebay for $14.

thelittleprince · 12-10-2010, 01:11 AM

How about a triple dip option in the poll with the Panasonic Ultimate Pack?

Vriess · 12-10-2010, 01:13 AM

I haven't bought it yet but I may get the 3d version one day when I have a 3d tv. Without the 3d Avatar is just a really generic sci fi movie.

sfmarine · 12-19-2010, 11:25 PM

I sold off my old version and double dipped. Well worth it, imo. Plenty of goodies. Case could have been better, but so far so good.

+One hundred million. I haven't opened mine, and it's too late to take it back I think, so I will probably sell it on here. I really do not like the movie.

XRA · 12-19-2010, 11:45 PM

I bought the original Blu release, and will eventually probably buy the CE version.

ZooTv · 12-19-2010, 11:47 PM

Going to stick with the original release on this one. I liked the film, but not enough to warrant picking it up again.

ts0323 · 12-20-2010, 12:08 AM

I haven't bought either version, and I'll pick up the CE once it hits $15.

poke smot · 12-20-2010, 01:21 AM

How come?

Also how does the new extended cut compare to the original blu-rays datarate?
Any sacrifice in quality?
(Yeah I know they say there isn't supposed to be, but they said the same about Terminator 2)

MadforMovies · 12-20-2010, 03:14 AM

Bought the original release only..

Liselotte · 12-20-2010, 03:22 AM

I double dip.

cinema sickness · 12-20-2010, 04:10 AM

I have the original but when I find the new release for a good price ($10 or less) I'll upgrade. By then I'll be ready to watch it again.

mj3k · 12-20-2010, 04:13 AM

Yep, I'm a sucker, but I did enjoy the extra 18min's of CE Avatar...

The Dark Uniter · 12-22-2010, 01:13 AM

I still have the original barebones release. I may upgrade when the price gets lower.

-RONIN- · 12-22-2010, 01:15 AM

None for me.. It's not that I disliked it, just that I'll never revisit it.

kenkraly2004 · 12-22-2010, 01:16 AM

I upgraded to the new collectors edition blu-ray and I will be getting it on christmas day. And I will get my other Avatar blu-ray the original one to my mom for her collection.
