Passive? Active? 3D? Heck... save a few bucks and drink heavily before watching the movie! You'll swear it's in 3D!

Only when watching on a 65"+ size screen!

Just placed an order and the free shipping is working now.

Quote from celstarshop : at home i use the 3d glasses they give you when you buy a ticket for a 3d movie. and when i go to the theater i bring the same 3d glasses with me and pay for a 2d movie so i can sneak into a 3d one. its like a gift that keeps on giving.

hahahahaaha, that's so wrong. But they always show at different times so you wait it out? whatabum.

Love it when I get sucked into products I don't need!

HOPEFULLY the reason they are OOS is because this is a pre-order?? Yeah I know....

I got the same email and I ordered this when this thread only had two pages. Hopefully it is just due to the preorder status.

I too got the email with same msg and my order status is 'Partial Backordered'. Do not know what it is.

Got the same e-mail as above. Will report back if/when it ships.

I ordered this 2 days before it hit front page......How on earth did I get a backorder email too?

Supposedly I still have Heroes Season 2 and 3 $8.99 Blu-Rays on backorder for a couple months at Fry's. With Fry's you never know if or when they will fulfill or cancel your backorders, but I guess on a preorder they are more likely to get new inventory. I have no idea why it would take that long to get more Heroes seasons which makes me think they may not even be trying.

If they send backorder notices to people who preordered Avatar 3D early but not to those who ordered later, it shows their system is not FIFO and therefore not a fair or well implemented system, though Fry's would hardly be alone in not having a FIFO system.

I'm passing on Avatar 3D for now and waiting for the extended cut 3D Blu-Ray.

I just called and it is 19.99 + tax = $21.39 for me.
everybody have to pay tax on phone order only or online order too?

If your ship state is illinois, Ca, Tx ...and a few others you get taxed since they have a store in your state.

Quote from Deanomite : Gotta love supply and demand, sold my copy of Avatar 3D for $100 couple years ago and now I can buy another copy for $20.

I sold about 5 of them for $100. I bought blu-ray players just to get the disc and sold the bluray players for cost plus/minus a few bucks....

I could not justify the trade off of keeping one when people were willing to pay $100 for it. One or two sold for as high as $130.... man people must have money to burn. Now I finally get to have my own - for what it should cost - $20.
