Personally I think most people would have been extremely happy with a full restoration of the theatrical cut. And perhaps some judicious replacement of some of the poorer effects.

Though I would be content with just the extended, I am a bit of a movie buff and am actually considering getting the Theatrical version just so I have it for reference.

I know that some people will double dip, but that's really their own issue. Personally I love LOTR but not enough to fork out left and right for every edition that is bound to appear between no and the Hobbit appearing on BD.]]>Apr 19th 2009 3:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/Apr 17th 2009 8:05PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/Apr 17th 2009 8:23PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/Apr 17th 2009 8:30PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/Apr 17th 2009 9:59PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/

What was nice with the DVD versions was that there was a ton of content on both the Standard and Extended editions, and none of it overlapped. So you really did get a ton of great content when you bought both.

This is a 7 Disc set on Blu-ray, so there should be plenty of time to tide me over for the 2 year wait on the extended cut BDs.]]>Apr 17th 2009 10:31PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/Apr 17th 2009 11:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/Apr 18th 2009 12:03AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/
No way, I will certainly wait until the extended version is released. That's the one I have on DVD and it's the ONLY title I will repurchase on BD.]]>Apr 18th 2009 2:33AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/Apr 18th 2009 2:53AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=2055 says that Extended Version of LOTR will most likely be released when "The Hobbit" is shown is theatres. And this won't happen untill Christmas 2011, according to Wikipedia. So if one wants LOTR in HD, its better not to wait till then!

This set already contains 7 discs. If they added the extended editions to the package it would just pump up the MSRP. They know how high the demand for these movies is amongst fans so they will charge accordingly whether its in one big 14 disc box set or two 7 disc ones.

I am perfectly happy with just having the theatrical editions. Not everyone cares about the extended cuts so what's the problem with selling them separately? You can choose which edition you want or you can choose to buy both if you're a completist.]]>Apr 18th 2009 11:02AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/Apr 19th 2009 2:13PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/
Its about the content, not the number of discs. So even if the studio did release it as one big mega set you certainly wouldn't be getting that set for 70 bucks.

They are not going to give away their golden eggs for free. You're going to pay, either way. It seems reasonable to let people to choose the versions they want and not have to pay for the ones they don't.

Planned double-dipping is greed at it's highest.

I'm probably going to be Netflixing the theatrical and wait for the extended to purchase. No double dipping here. Actually, I didn't even buy the dvd's cause I was waiting for HD versions (yes, even before bluray's was ever announced, I stopped buying most dvd's to wait on HD optical discs; I knew they'd come out sooner or later. I can be patient...especially on a budget.)]]>Apr 18th 2009 5:32PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/Apr 19th 2009 1:38AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/17/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-blu-ray-set-shows-up-on-amazon-but-wh/thats why u have 25-50gig on bluray,,so u dont have to release a super duper edition after 3 months.and u wondering why people stealing movies from the internet,thats why!!!
