I would have though that most people even aware of the extended editions would already have the extended DVD`s anyway and wouldn`t be interested in a BD boxset that includes a load of DVD`s - IF there was a BD boxset of just the films released..??...
Still surprised that they need 2 BD`s too.... (hadn`t even heard of the `complaints` about the theatrical BD image quality..)

EiV has told me that the retail for this one will be between £80-£100 and that there will be few, if any, review copies for media in the UK.

So, £16 for BD Theatrical or £80-£100 for Extended...  Hmmmmm..

Ste

Well the eventual selling price will be less than the RRP, but I still reckon you`re looking at £50-£60.

Yeah, I`m sure it will be - and less after not too long.  I just feel most people interested will already have the DVD extras..

Ste

Yeah, I think it`s overpriced, especially compared to the Superman set that`s coming out, but hey they know people will pay it. Personally I`m not a big enough fan to pay for it twice. I got the theatrical releases cheap, and they are long enough as it is. There are a few bits from the EEs that I miss (Two Towers is much better in EE form), but I can see me buying the new set. I will be interested to see if they improve the fairly lacklustre video quality though.

I was surprised that when i told the missus she wasn`t that fussed, as we have the extended DVDs, so I guess we won`t be double dipping this one this time, not until it`s cheaper anyway.

Hang on..so the Blu Ray extended editions of the films are still split over 2 disks? I was waiting for the Blu Ray with its higher capacity to be able to watch the films without having to change the disk halfway, I think I`ll stick with watching my extended edition dvd`s upscaled on the Blu Ray player and give this a miss then
