Avatar Ultimate Edition will be released November 2010 according to a friend from Viva. It will be an imported 3-Disc DVD in a steelbook casing. This will be the first steelbook release of Viva. Im just not sure with the price point that they will be giving??? Looking forward for this. cant wait to watch the bonus features and more.

Btw, they will also be releasing Alien Anthology Bluray Boxset (Alien Egg packaging) it's a 6 disc bluray collection with 4 hours of never-before-seen content. Priced at 2800 - i think this is a great deal since a regular single disc bluray is at 1500.

Sana same content lang dun sa R1 version...

Wow! Here's hoping both will sell a gazillion copies so that Viva will be given an incentive to import more of these limited edition/premium packaging DVDs/Bluray...

The Alien Quadrilogy is a great buy at that price!

Gotta start eating one meal less a day to save up for these...

Any idea if Sound of Music Bluray will be released locally? and any premium items/packaging bundled?

P2800.....that's a steal. Amazon has it for $90 w/o shipping!

I'll get the Avatar Ultimate Edition too. Any info on the local release date (R1 is Nov. 16)?

Any chance there will be a regular packaging of Avatar Ultimate Edition R3?

videobuff · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 11, 2010 at 09:26 AM »

Hi guys..i got updates from Viva..I called yesterday and sabi nila it's Avatar Extended Collector's Edition, this 3-Disc DVD in steelbook casing will be priced at P999. Sobrang ok yung price since normally 1k plus mga steelbooks sa outlet. And this will also be available on Bluray at P2500 3-Disc din. Pero I think walang regular packaging for this one since meron pa silang existing na regular Avatar DVD sa market.

Will the 3-discs Bluray be in Steelbook as well?

jas · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 11, 2010 at 09:36 AM »

P999 for a 3-disc DVD steelcase is definitely a great price. Points to Viva for this.

Any news on a confirmed release date?

Medyo mataas yun Bluray. Amazon na lang at $25 though in regular packaging. But the DVD is indeed a steal or a steel!

Actually the PHP 2500 for the bluray is justifiable. Amazon's SRP is $55. The current $25 price is Amazon's usual low price at launch strategy to undercut the competition. The Philippine market is not large enough to foster the same kind of competition, guess we have to live with that. At least, it's in steelbook, and that is worth a premium.

Viva's Just Movie DVDs are only Disney/Touchstone movies, not Fox.

Yes, if the Steelbook is good. I collect them.

Avatar Ultimate is reportedly coming to shelves at Odyssey this November 17.

sharkey360 · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 18, 2010 at 05:58 PM »

The release has been re-scheduled for November 24, according to Odyssey. No explanation for the delay though.

99% of Fox Releases are good, so you breathe easy and buy it (if you like it) without second thought...

Just got mine now. 999 3-discs in steelbook! Do check your copies though. Disc 1 has some light scruffs. I opened 2 copies and both have scratches.

Thanks for "right pricing" this especially for double dippers!

animechx · « **Reply #27 on:** Nov 24, 2010 at 03:52 PM »

to those who got their copies... review please.
PQ, audio, specials?
if it's a good buy for 1k, i'm making this my 1st steelbook dvd, then i'll get Wanted

thanx

how bout the 3 disc blu ray any comments?

sharkey360 · « **Reply #29 on:** Nov 25, 2010 at 08:12 AM »

I finally got mine yesterday.

Check your copies though.

Disc 1 - 2 very short scratches
Disc 2 - no scratch
Disc 3 - no scratch

I started watching the Extended Collector's Cut last night and finished its segment on disc 1. I'll be watching more on disc 2 today.

Picture quality is very good for me, comparable with that of the previous DVD release. Still I'm trying to find any noticeable change in picture quality.

As for the added cut scenes, they somewhat affect the pacing but at the very least they show more of James Cameron's vision and concepts. I find them enlightening to watch and I can hardly wait to see more later.
