Lord Of The Rings Trilogy on Blu Ray

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Just noticed that this is released tomorrow. Anyone getting it?

 

Had a look online and it seems to be £40 everywhere, but it's the theatrical versions, not the extended versions.

 

I'm guessing they are doing this to milk money out of everyone and then release the extended versions in a years time for the same outcome, the cunts.

 

I'm not a massive LOTR fan, but wouldn't mind owning them on Blu Ray.

The studios are trying to make money out of it. Apparently Peter Jackson is not happy about it.

 

I have the extended releases on DVD - 4 disks with each one with how they did the filming, cgi, costumes, etc.

 

The extended editions are blended in really well - IIRC the third one has an extra 40 mins of footage.

 

I'd like the full set in BluRay but will wait for the extended edition to be realeased in a year or two.

I'm with CaptainK on this one. I'm happy to wait a year or so for the extended versions.

New Line doing the type of sly shit that almost resulted in The Hobbit not getting made, Peter Jackson doesn't like the idea of doing it this way either.

[Cardie]

Didn't part of the lawsuit Jackson and Fran Walsh brought against New Line stem from the fact they didn't think they were given enough money?
