OR- wait for the at-home 3D version?
OR- wait for the extended 2D version?
OR- wait for the extended 3D version?
OR- wait for the extended 2D/3D two-disk set?
OR- wait for the all-versions set with the plush figures & collectible bow & arrow?

Or....

Nope. Never.

It was mildly entertaining. A nice way to spend some time w/ family and friends at Christmas time. But unlike, say Jurassic Park - 1, or LOTR, I have no real interest in the story or the FX. Pretty stuff on the screen held my attention for about.... time's up.

Moon was a better movie.

Even Star Trek was better.

I'd by those DVDs before Avatar.

I'll be waiting for commentaries and extras, since this is gonna be just a bare-bones release. 3D would be pointless for me since I don't have a 3D set (and really, my imagination tends to do it on its own).

I'm actually more interested in the upcoming novelization, and Cameron's promised novel-only spin-offs (which will be in-continuity with future films, but will chronicle unrelated events). Not only am I more of a prose fan by nature, but I find Cameron's intricate and detailed worldbuilding to be even more engrossing than the technical advancements.

It looks like he's trying to establish an Expanded Universe, only deliberately, whereas the Star Wars and Star Trek EUs just kinda happened as a side-effect of the film/TV franchises (which is why we get all these canonicity debates).

Since I dream of doing the same with my creations, I'm eager to see how he goes about it.

Being the only person on the planet who DIDN'T see it in the theatre, I s'pose I'll rent it.

It's definitely worth renting, Mike. A fun little (big) picture.
