Avatar: Collector's Edition Accidentally Leaked
As the time of its release draws near, more and more information on the second home release of James Cameron's epic, Avatar, appears; this time hidden away inside a preview of a documentary on the Amazon. Late last week we discovered the special edition would contain 16 minutes of extra footage, plus a few snippets on what those scenes may be, but now we seem to have confirmation that the disc will be known as the Collector's Edition and its release date is likely to be the 16th November.
It's speculated that the set will be made up of three discs - a combo pack with the Blu-ray, DVD and a digital copy perhaps - and some of the extras will include 45 minutes of unfinished material and the documentary whose preview contained the cover art and release date, A Message from Pandora. Before we get too excited, A Message from Pandora doesn't seem to be a making-of, but a documentary on the Belo Monte Dam Complex in the Amazon rainforest, a project which Cameron is campaigning to halt.
We're sure that this won't be all fans can expect, however thanks to the brilliant first release in terms of picture and audio, the main reason to double-dip would be the inclusion of a feature-length making-of documentary, something which an eco-friendly doc and 45 minutes of people standing in front of a green screen can't replace.
If you want to see what A Message from Pandora will be like, here is the preview without any naughty leaks:

Any ideas or comments why some Bluray movies are off sync video/audio on my system? I have a Sony 350 bluray player( updates com-plete) and a Vizio sound bar.
I have noticed that some movies particularly pre 2000 are off by as much as a 1/2 swcond on the sync. This accounts for about 20% of the blurays ---the vast majority are fine.
Thanks for any input!
