I have the first one on DVD and still haven\'t found the time to watch it.

Are they going to do two DVD releases for TTT, like they did with the Fellowship? I hope not. I\'m not going to get suckered into buying the ordinary theatrical release again.

Suckered?

From day one, Peter Jackson has said each movie will have two releases. One for those who don\'t want to wait and don\'t want the extra\'s, and one that is extended in every form. This applies to every movie in the trilogy. Expect the extended edition three or so months after the first.

I really like that scene of Eowyn, Aragorn and the horse... I\'ll buy this time the extended version... but what i don\'t like is that the movie is divided into the two discs, isn\'t it?

They have no choice. With DTS / compression and all that good stuff, it has to be split up.

OK, I wasn\'t suckered because I actually knew they were going to release a longer version later, but I still think it\'s a bit questionable that they released them at different times.

If they want to release two versions, that\'s fine, but release them at the same time so everyone can make their choice. Otherwise it\'s a bit of a scam to persuade people to buy both versions.

I don\'t see how it\'s questionable, even with them at seperate times. You are the buyer. You are not forced to buy something. You make a choice to buy something. If anything, you should be able that Peter Jackson and crew have been as nice as they are, with letting us know their plans for the DVD\'s, ahead of time.

rent the first one, buy the second one. That\'s what I did and I am smart.

he is teh smart...

How about:

Get the first one for free from blockbuster, then give it to your boss for brownie points when the Extended version comes out...

then buy the extended one with the bookends at Target and be charged only $25 for it by a senile old lady

Yesterday I saw a little mexican guy selling pirate DVDs of The Hulk and The Matrix: Reloaded right outside my building in downtown LA. It was sort of surprising that no one was doing anything to stop him, here in the heart of the entertainment industry. :snore:
