I'll rent Blu-Ray, but I don't want to mess with the whole 3D thing. Last few times I've tried (since a horrific recurring eye disease that had me legally blind in one eye for weeks at a time), the whole 3D thing just does not work for me. My brain can't process the signals correctly anymore to make it look 3-D; it just looks blurry to me.

I also never saw it in the theaters, mainly because I knew there was no way I could sit thru a 3 hour movie. I'll probably buy it today or tomorrow.

I loved it at the cinema, yeah, fine, not the best film ever, but I'm a sucker for great looking films, and it did look good.
And, as with CIA, I too already own Moon and Star Trek (both on Bluray too!)
All that said, I won't be buying the first release of this. Cameron is already preparing an extended cut for re-release at Imax, and, although I'm not THAT bothered about it being longer, I will wait to see what specials are included on the next release before I spend what little money I have on it.
Still have to buy The Lovely Bones on BluRay first. And The Fountain. And Let the Right One In. After those three, I'll see where I stand with Avatar.

Same. It was all fluff and no substance. I've got better things to do with my time than sit through that again.

I don't think I'll have to. My friend was a total sucker for all things avatar. She saw the movie and described it to me as life changing. She doesn't get out much.
But she's gonna buy the blu-ray upon release here probably, and she has no blu-ray player to watch it on. Which is where I come in. My home theatre system apparently doubles as hers in times of need. That works for me.

As a successful scifi flick I'd give it a 7 out of 10. In the history of Film Marketing I'd give it a bazilion. It convinced ticket buyers during a down economy to pay almost double for a *special effect* that imho was only occasionally rewarding and actually lowered the visual appeal of the film from it's 2D version, which will look bloody marvelous in my new BluRay 
... next year once the price drops.

I reserved a copy at the local movie store (little mom & pop shop).

Me? Colour me a consumerist bitch- I bought it.
DVD- no Blu-Ray yet, probably never since I can't deal with zippers on Trek TOS, hehheh.

I'll pick it up when they put out whichever version has making-of stuff. I'll probably rent this one on BR, but no need to buy it.
