Avatar Blu-ray BD-Live Features

Owners of the Avatar Blu-ray standard edition are now able to download exclusive BD-Live material that will be taken from the Extended Edition, which is due out in Australia on 24 November.

20^th Century Fox has just announced the new BD-Live functionality for Avatar. The new feature allows fans who have bought the first Avatar Blu-ray to download or view new content that will feature on the Avatar Collector’s Edition. This is a reward for consumers who have brought the first Avatar Blu-ray in the exciting countdown to the release of the Ultimate Edition and will give fans a sneak peak of what will be featured on the new Collector’s Edition via BD Live.

If you have Avatar on Blu-ray and have a BD Live enabled player, then you’ll be able to access special features from the upcoming Avatar: Collector’s Edition right now including the Earth-bound clip from the newly re-edited opening of the film, a guide to the deleted scenes and a peak from one of the documentaries.

The full list of the material that’s going to be rolled out between now and when the Collector’s Edition is released is the following:

Grandma’s Teylu: Never Before Seen Deleted Scene
2006 Art Reel Excerpt
Driving Range: Never Before Seen Deleted Scene
Acting in the Volume: Excerpt from documentary
Drums of War (full version): Never Before Seen Deleted Scene

“What did happen”: Excerpt from the Collector’s Extended Cut

And then, once the Collector’s Edition is out, you’ll be able to use that disc with BD Live to get access to some other things that aren’t on any “packaged” release:
