Why is everyone calling us "whiners"? Are we not entitled to our opinions? Maybe we should just sit back and let the studios treat us however they want?

On the net if you go against the majority of what they want in the forum you are a whiner, unfortunate but true

Do you really think obnoxious whining accomplishes anything with the studios? Really?

no but its nice to have your voice heard....hint, if enough people are saying the same thing, it's not "whining"; its a valid complaint.

Exactly. It's funny how due to some report/website people now are expecting WB/NL to possibly release the EEs later this year "because of the outcry of mad people".

I agree with you though. They may detail general plans re: the EEs, but it doesn't necessarily mean WB/NL have changed their minds and are going to release the EEs anytime soon. I would expect it will be "we are working on the EEs with Peter Jackson and those will follow at a later date. For now, you can buy the theatrical editions if you cannot wait that long." That will be the gist of it.

I personally am just going to wait for the EEs...

MCT · 06-25-2009, 05:07 PM

yeah, so will I. I'll rent the theatricals out of curiosity. I guess I'll have to settle for upconverted EE's in the meantime.

maygit · 06-25-2009, 05:11 PM

I was hesitant getting the theatrical versions but WBshop had them for like $70 and with a 30% off code the price was $49 so i pulled the trigger and preordered them. Looks like i'll be a sucker for double dipping.

I just added to the one star. I don't have a preference on what version I like better but I think this one star thing is funny.

No it doesn't. But voting with your wallet does. People, just stop complaining and don't buy them. The studio has already gotten the message by now that many people are pissed about the double dip. If you're going to buy the theatrical versions anyway (and I know many of you will), your complaining is for nothing.

Bullseye · 06-25-2009, 08:45 PM

How do amazon allow people to write reviews before the discs are released.

ckenisell · 06-25-2009, 10:33 PM

Here's an idea. If you don't like the "whining" don't read it.

OH NOOOOOO!!!! WHAT A NOVEL CONCEPT!!!!

That's silly. If you don't want the theatrical release, then don't buy it.

I wanted the EE (and still do). But the theatrical version was available for a steal, so I ordered them and will buy the EE when it becomes available.

Yes, having both in 1 product would be nice (with seamless branching), but I cannot fault WB for releasing them separately and trying to maximise profits....

That statement is just beyond stupid

I don't get why this is bad news i never expected new features. How the hell can you expect new features after the release of the EE sets
