Panasonic has finally made official several pack-in deals already in
effect at retailers both physical and online that add Blu-ray 3D
players, glasses and most notably, an exclusive copy of Avatar on Blu-
ray 3D (also available to existing owners via a mail-in offer, owners
of the Extended Collectors Edition can preview a 3D Easter Egg there
too.) Despite being the highest grossing 3D movie of all, it's still
not available at retail and is unlikely to show up there anytime
soon, sending the price of those pack-in copies skyrocketing on eBay
as owners of non-Panasonic 3D capable TVs try to get their hands on
the ultimate demo material. Many current auctions are above the $200
mark, while the highest sold price we saw was $399 about a week ago,
although considering a copy of Bee Movie went for $400 back in the
day, we can't say we're too surprised. Check out the details about
Panasonic's current promotions on its highly rated HDTVs (and the demo
tour that just started) in the press release after the break and
bring your calculator, if Dances With Smurfs wasn't your cup of tea
anyway, we might have found the perfect way to finance your new home
theater upgrade.
