Wanted to buy Avatar Blu-ray 3D,was amazed by the differences in price. From as low as about $20. to over $200. Any reason other than greed?

    Nope. I believe it went for like 50 when it first came out.

    I haven't seen the 3D version new for sale, I thought that came out as a peomo with Panasonic TV's and there was some kind of dispute about it being released to the general public.

    Yeah, I got mine (2D Bluray) free with a Panny DMP-BD85 bluray player, it has both Bluray & DVD discs inside. FWIW, I don't "re-watch" movies much more frequently than every 10 years or so. I'll be in good shape when/if I get the urge to watch Avatar again.......(in approx. 8 yrs.)

    Got mine with my Panny BDP-215. Stunning clarity on my plasma - much better than the 3D I saw at the theater.
