creators intended it to be seen.  With
that in mind, Panasonic has created a series of bundle promotions designed to
give consumers the opportunity to bring the immersive world of 3D and ‘Avatar’

We also wanted to recognize the early adopters who are so critical to
new technologies with our Customer Loyalty Program so they too could enjoy ‘Avatar’

“James Cameron
advanced a new chapter of filmmaking with ‘Avatar,’ and Blu-ray effectively
captured the detail, emotion and nuance of his vision,” stated Mike Dunn, 20th
Century Fox Home Entertainment worldwide president. “Now the stage is set to
launch the immersive 3D experience for the home that’s only possible with
Blu-ray 3D and has to be experienced with ‘Avatar.’ We are pleased to announce
this exclusive arrangement with our partners at Panasonic, especially as they
have a long history of involvement with ‘Avatar’ from its development, during
the theatrical release, the Blu-ray launch and now with ‘Avatar’ on Blu-ray
3D.”

The new promotions
will also be showcased during the previously announced “Unwrap 3D Tour” going
out to malls in 14 cities over a two-week period, starting today.
