Lord of the Rings or Star Wars on blu ray?

[Brightstar]

I love Lord of the rings to bits and the Star Wars Saga is the biggest release in entertainment history! but yet i can only buy one set i cant afford both.

but which one ?

Depends on which franchise you like more, or the value of what you're getting. LotR you're getting three brilliant films, with 9 DVDs of extras, totalling 26 hours apparently. Star Wars, you're getting 6 films, with three BDs of extras totalling more than 40 hours. I am getting both, but I'd say go for the Star Wars set in terms of value of what you're getting, even though it's more expensive.

What are you talking about? You have a 4 month separation between releases. Save enough from each paycheck to get to a resonable amount to buy Star Wars when it releases, and buy LOTR when it comes out.

Actually only 2.5 months, but yes he has time to start saving.

Alot of people like me dont want to pay £54.99 full price for the LOTR set with extres they allready seen. We still dont know what the transfer will be like for the Star wars saga .

Actually the Call of Duty franchise is the record holder for the biggest entertainment release.


Anyways, I would choose the LoTR set and then just save up a little each month and get the star wars set as well. (It's bound to drop in price by release date)

Understandable, But if you really like Both you will find a way. Or you can always wait till Black Friday and see if they will be a lower price.

Fair enough. It's up to you though. I'm putting my faith in the Star Wars transfers, I'm getting LOTR EE's because I don't have the films on DVD, only VHS. But like I said, it's the value of what you get that should be important.

I agree with you. If I had the money, i would be purchasing the EEs release day, but i have to pay bills off first.

[miller_time22]

Save your money now and wait until Black Friday for a price drop and then maybe you can get both!

[sfmarine]

Lotr Will drop maybe even by black Friday. A lot of people already own those 9 DVDs special features. So it isn't too difficult to wait it out for a more reasonable price. Go with Star Wars.

[Blu-Benny]

LOTR now and put $10 aside each week until star wars is released.

you're welcome.

[C-Knights]

As someone said earlier depends which franchise you like more, then get that one and wait for the other to price drop, I'll be getting both first day as I've saved for them, can't wait.

sorry for taking it out on you, but since this is about the 100th dumb "OR"
post like this, which have always strongly gotten on my nerves: how should we know your taste?? star wars and lord of the rings are two different franchises.
besides we are not talking car purchase here. the hour you waste on this post and wondering what you should do, you could have gone out and earned the extra money to buy both sets!! star wars is only being released
in september. that gives you 3 months to come up with 80 dollars.
if you can't earn 80 bucks extra in 3 months to buy a set, should you be
spending money on blus in the first place or should you have bigger problems
to attend to?
like i said, no personal offense, but what you buy is YOUR decision. we can't take it from you. your own opinion should be strong enough to decide what
to do. but if you really need the influence its like i wrote; it think you
should concentrate on earning money.

[nametag]

Meh, LotR are clearly the better films and more consistent franchise. Having said that, I haven't seen Star Wars since I was a kid so I'm looking forward to those more.... also I've decided to finally read LotR and don't want to watch the EE Blu-rays until after I have... which might be a while, so SW is definitely my top priority!

I also don't know why people make these threads because obviously there's no way we can tell what the OP will prefer...

[Aquel]

Lord of the Rings EE: 55 pounds, TE: 15 Pounds.

Can't recall that the Star Wars DVD's really dropped in price and the Blu Rays have a higher price/value (if you divide the total cost with the number of films. Assuming you like the prequels of course).

Not too difficult a choice if you only look at the numbers, the personal enjoyment of these movies not factored in of course

[JamesKurtovich]

LOTR.

It's a definite pre-order for me. The films are amazing.

SW has gone downhill due to self-indulgence. Lucas is only releasing his Special Editions and they have already stated that they're holding material for future releases so why waste your hard-earned money?

I am getting both, and I agree with others, I don't understand why you can't get both, as they are spaced out quite nicely.

But.....

If I had to choose, I would choose Star Wars, as I ALREADY own the extra discs (DVD's) in the LOTR:EE. At some point they will be released seperately. You can wait until then to get them and save up some BIG dough!

[lkmg]

i am getting both too. but i like lotr more than sw. think together with the hobbit, they would be my most liked movie series ever.

Is that for 2017? plus you like LOTR more then SW? wow. anyway star wars will never drop in price. For a serias like Star Wars 40 hours of extres is not enough look at the Alien set.

The truth is

If a bumper set comes along in 2017 with both cuts (original cuts) plus every single documentry in 3D fans will buy it!
