In a statement similar to Panasonic’s exclusive deal with Avatar on release, Sony has setup a deal with Harry Potter to be the exclusive source of the new “Harry Potter 3D Experience” pack, including Harry Potter #7 Part 1 in 3D.
This exclusive “Harry Potter 3D Experience” will be available to consumers who purchase Sony’s BDP-S780 Blu-ray Disc player with 3D or BDV-E580 Blu-ray 3D home theater system. Additionally, the same Harry Potter 3D titles will be bundled with two pairs of Sony active 3D glasses, TDG-BR250/DBL, as a “3D starter kit.”
Harry Potter 7: The Deathly Hallows was originally supposed to appear in theaters in 3D, but they had to release it 2D only because the conversion was taking longer than expected. I don’t think it ever actually came to theaters, so it seems this BluRay pack will be the only way to get see it in 3D for a while.
The new discs should be hitting Amazon soon.
