While I absolutely love his Middle Earth, this just reeks of a total cash grab. I'm sure I'll change my mind in a couple years when I spend a Saturday watching all 3 Hobbit EEs, but for now, I'm still pretty annoyed with the whole thing. I would've tolerated it when it was just being split in half, but not thirds.

Harry Potter 7 set a nasty precedent with all this movie splitting (HP, Twilight, Hobbit, HG, etc.)

You know you could buy the digibook version now, then just sell that for like $20 once the EE comes out. I'm sure the digibook will be OOP by then
