'Avatar' 3D Blu-ray May Be Panasonic Exclusive Until 2012[teaser]The bundle deal runs until February of 2012, exclusivity is the big question. [/teaser] "Just wait 'til after Christmas, they'll have to release it then." That's the advice commonly doled out to people considering a new TV purchase to grab a copy of the biggest 3D movie ever, or trying to get their James Cameron fix by doling out a few hundred bucks on eBay. As it turns out, those advisors may be dead wrong. Die hard fans may decide they want to pick it up sooner. According to the site AVZombie - down at the moment because of excessive traffic - Panasonic has the rights to the 'Avatar' bundle until February of 2012. That's a considerably longer window of opportunity than anyone had anticipated. There's no official word on whether the deal is actually exclusive until 2012, and we're certainly hoping that's not the case. Whether you're a fan of 'Avatar' or not, a year and a half exclusivity window is a precedent we don't want to see set. In the meantime, if you choose the right shipping, you can still get the bundle at a considerable discount. Source: AV Zombie (via Engadget)Posted Tue Dec 14, 2010 at 10:50 AM PST by: -
Kaleidescape's Blu-ray Movie Server Now Shipping[teaser]The server eliminates load times, and can give you Blu-ray access from any room in the house. [/teaser] "Blu-ray offers the highest fidelity for my discerning clients, but if you thought watching a DVD was frustrating, just try a Blu-ray Disc." These are the sentiments of Jeff Cherun, owner of Teatro Custom Installation. He's not bagging on the high definition picture and he's not downplaying the importance of great audio - he's talking about load times. "With the Kaleidescape System," he says, "you're enjoying any of your Blu-ray movies in seconds instead of minutes. My customers will never go back to an ordinary Blu-ray player." That system, which has been unveiled piece by piece over the last year or so, is finally shipping in full. With the Kaleidescape system, you're able to back up your Blu-rays onto a server and play them back at your leisure in any room with a Kaleidescape player. The Modular Disc Vault is the final piece of the puzzle. It allows you to import and store up to 100 discs at once. That's essential, since you'll still need the disc in the vault to play it - an anti piracy measure. Source:Posted Tue Dec 14, 2010 at 10:00 AM PST by: -
