This week we have over 250 new DVD & Blu-ray releases hitting the shelves on November 16th, 2010.  As Christmas approaches, distributors have been saving some of their better titles for now.  The titles range from highly anticipated, holiday movies, elemental bending kids to new packaging of highly marketed movies… for the umpteenth time!

Titles include Avatar (again) in a new extended format, A Christmas Carol from Disney, The Last Airbender, Christmas season Celtic Thunder & Michael Jackson.  TV titles include Glee, Perry Mason, The Twilight Zone & Wycliffe.  Other new DVD & Blu-ray releases are IMAX releases, Cats & Dogs, The Polar Express & many more titles that if you’re of the mind, you can peruse the larger list at the bottom of this article.

The big release that seems to be a best-seller on Amazon is the newest version/release of the three-disc Collector’s Edition of Avatar. (Below this press release description is my usual list of titles, broken into their usual categories here on Brusimm.
