Avatar Blu-ray 3D Offer Details Revealed

By Chris Boylan

As we've mentioned in the past, Panasonic has teamed up with Fox for an exclusive promotion around the top-grossing motion picture of all time: Avatar.  But now Panasonic is finally officially speaking up about the details.  Current Panasonic 3D TV owners and future buyers will be happy to hear that they will be eligible to receive Avatar on Blu-ray 3D Disc in one of two ways.

A new "3D Ultimate Pack" for new 3D TV buyers will include the movie on Blu-ray 3D Disc as well as two pairs of 3D glasses.  The DMP-BDT100 Blu-ray 3D Player is also being offered as part of this bundle for new Panasonic 3D TV buyers.  Existing Panasonic 3D TV owners (VT20, VT25, GT24 and GT25 series HDTVs) will be able to get the disc via a mail-in rebate.

The full 3D bundle is available now for 42-inch and 50-inch screen sizes of Panasonic's GT25 series 3D TVs at select retailers.  Amazon's current discounted pricing will get you the 42-inch model for $1299.98 and the 50-inch model for $1599.98 (pricing subject to change at Amazon's discretion).  Here's the link:

PAnasonic 3D TV Bundle with Avatar on Blu-ray 3D
New buyers of Panasonic 3D-enabled HDTVs will be eligible for a free bundle that includes player, glasses and "Avatar" on Blu-ray 3D from participating retailers.

Avatar on Blu-ray 3D Disc (Promo)
The 3D version of Avatar is expected to be exclusive to Panasonic 3D TV owners for at least a year.
An alternate offer is also expected to be available from some retailers, namely a $249.95 rebate toward the purchase of Panasonic's Blu-ray 3D home theater in a box solution, the SC-BTT350, instead of the free Blu-ray player.

Those who already own an eligible Panasonic 3D TV can send in a rebate form to receive Avatar on Blu-ray 3D Disc by mail.  Or if you just can't wait, then you can also buy the Ultimate 3D Pack today on its own with two pairs of rechargeable 3D glasses (the more expensive new glasses) plus the movie (link below).

More details on this offer including a link to the mail-in rebate form are available at: www.panasonic.com/avatar.
