I was going to get a 3D TV this year, but thanks to a diabetic cat, it looks like it will be next year now.

I didn't even know cats could get diabetes. I hope he/she is doing fine and vet expenses are under control.

I've had more time to mess with my LG system. It is so much fun. The 2D to 3D simulation actually works reasonably well for many things, including TV shows. And there are some types of images that are quite enjoyable - let's just say that the algorithms are designed to recognize curves and protrusions. So live stages, mountains, waves and other interesting things can really stand out!   

I did get a few 3D Blu Ray titles and they look great also. I wanted to get Avatar, but good grief the price!

Does anybody know where I can get a legitimate copy of 3D Avatar for less than the highway robbery price on Amazon?

Why is Avatar 3D so expensive - is it simply supply and demand or some other explanation? I haven't tried the simulation yet on the regular BD, but I plan to.
Thanks for your support.

Those copies of Avatar 3D that you see for sale, on Amazon for example, are the Panasonic exclusive releases that came with the purchase of Panasonic 3D HDTVs, Panasonic 3D Blu-ray players and the Panasonic Ultimate 3D Starter Kit. They were not meant for individual sale but Amazon Merchants are selling them at ridiculous prices. I was fortunate enough to get 2 copies myself, one with my purchase of the Ultimate 3D Starter Kit and the other with my Panasonic Blu-ray player. It's a bare-bones Blu-ray with no extras and it's only the theatrical release. It does look awesome in 3D though . I actually like it better viewing it at home on my 3D plasma than when I saw it in iMAX 3D in the theater.

The official release of Avatar 3D won't be until Panasonic's exclusivity runs out at the end of February 2012.

Wow, thanks for that info. I could never have guessed those details, but I did suspect that it might have been something other than supply and demand (on second thought, that is exactly the reason ... )

Have a nice day and thanks again!
