Lord of the Rings is coming out on Bluray. While it may not be the versions we've all been waiting for, it's still a testament to the format. That being said, I'm waiting until the extendeds

[RIKANA]

The poll was set to close on date that the The lord of the rings would be released. I can't seem to fix the poll. the poll should close on Nov 03, 2009. Help needed...

Any version of the Lord of the Rings will look and sound spectacular on Blu-Ray.

[RIKANA]

To the person who changed the poll date...Thank you vary much!

good question but I take it means you want both on the same set. Even thought I already voted before hand.

Ur right about one thing. A message needs to be sent to the studios that this is unacceptable. It's bad enough that they do it on new releases like Watchmen. At least there u can understand it. The movie was out five months ago and they want to get the disk out ASAP. Then, when they worked on it some more, u get the ultimate directors plus plus prime version. Its offensive but u can understand it.

With an older film like LotR there is no excuse. The TE and EE versions should be released together. Period. There r still ways for the studio to make extra movie off the two versions without forcing fans of the EE version to either buy a version they dont want or wait a year.

The most cost effective for the consumer is one version that allows the viewer to pick which version they watch. We cant have that because there is money to be made.

The most productive method for the studios, other than the screwing they r currently pushing on us, is release both TE and EE in a box set. This way they make extra money that they wouldnt make if they offered the individual versions. Then, release TE and EE separately. This way, the fans of neither version have to wait if they dont want to and r willing to pay more. They cant wait too long to release the separate editions tho or were back to the screwing again.

People talk about LotR being a big push disk to sell hardware. What happens to that big push if a large percent put off buying the TE version and the player as well.

ok! I think I get what you mean...

WB/NL should put out Three Box sets one for TE'S, one for EE's, and one for both. Then at a later date release The TE's and EE's in a Three disc edition with out features?

Thanks for the poll tho, its a good idea.

They're not gonna get me with a double dip on these. I won't be buying them at all until the extended versions are released.

[peralta67]

Release extended both would be nice.

Ditto...they're not getting me either, I will wait. On the positive note; the dvd extendeds to upconvert nicely

[R3P0]

Agreed I am waiting for Extended unless someone buys me the TE for Xmas, I have no desire to Quadruple dip on this release or even 5x dip no matter how good the movies are, granted there are rumors of an ultimate cut which is going to be possibly even longer then the EE with even more resource footage but who knows what the plans for those are, it will be EE for Hobbit and LOTR for me. My Wife has spoken

[roxyv]

EE and TE should be included in the set...but in any case I would go for the EE
