Avatar arrives on Blu-Ray and DVD April 22, which is a Thursday, but coming out on that day because it is Earth Day. It is available to pre-order on Amazon and Best Buy, and I am sure there are other video websites that have it ready to get. This release will not have any extra features, it will only be the movie, but I hear what they are trying to do is give the Blu-Ray the best audio and video quality possible, and of course, no 3D yet either, but none the less, a great movie to own, so I plan to order my copy very shortly. For those that want extra features, they will be re releasing Avatar as an multi disc Ultimate Edition in November, and as for 3D, rumors are it won't come out on 3D till next year or even later. I can't blame them, I'll be honest, Avatar is probably one of the best movies to use 3D effectively as an experience, and not a gimmick, but 3D HDTVs are brand new, and giving the new technology time to catch on is the smartest idea instead of releasing what could possibly be a bad copy of 3D Avatar this year, and then later have everyone re-buy it to get better quality, even though they usually do that a lot, but still. Anyway, I am excited for Avatar to come out on Blu-Ray, actually I am very excited. I will catch it one more time in theaters in 3D before it leaves the theaters.

I talked to a friend of mine that worked on the film. He said that there will be NO extras on the first Blu-Ray release. They are probably going to add only 12 minutes of footage, but the quality of the digital transfer means that they're taking everything out, but the movie. Even the menus will be minimal, to save space.
3D definitely won't be out until next year...
I will be buying this on Blue Ray--special features or not.
