Do you think they will do this for the two sequels as well?

Is the steelbook G2 sized and not the terrible G1 DVD size?

I would say 4 since that's what WB is releasing. BB just screwed up and put 3 disc on their "exclusive" sticker. If it were 3 discs that would probably mean the special features disc would be missing.

The 3D version is spread across 2 discs & then there are 2 bonus discs which equals 4 discs. Guess we will need a 3D compatible player regardless if we own a 3D tv yet or not.

Here's the regular 3D versions back cover, since there won't be a 2D disc in the steelbook version, looks like you won't get the commentaries that the standard version will be offering.

GenPion · 10-31-2013, 12:51 AM

Yeah, this will be missing the commentaries and it won't have the 2D presentation. Personally, I want both 2D and 3D, as well as the commentaries.

I actually think this steelbook doesn't have the best design either. I'm going with the standard release, which will hopefully still be in something special packaging-wise.

People are still asking this?! There hasn't been G1 for a long while and when it did, it barely happened.

I hope so. I'm not taking any chances, I'm double-dipping on this steelie.

Why is it these cool collector's one's are always missing something? First was the theatrical Digibook that only had 2D, now the 3D steelbook that doesn't have 2D. Ugh. I really want the steelbook, but I want a complete edition more...

I'm most likely cancelling my Amazon UK order for the steelbook in place of this BB version, but I'm still curious to see what that steelbook would look like with 5 discs.

I'm good thanks! Getting the standard edition from Amazon with a special offer they had (really like the slipbox it's coming in) and the SteelBook

I believe that FS in Canada is getting the same release. Supposedly (according to confirmation in the FS Forums) it's 3D only. That means it's just 4 discs so it might be a slim (Not Jumbo like the UK version could be) release. J-card on BBY page just says Blu-ray 3D and UV DC. The other two discs are bonus content I believe

4 disc 3D Extended Hobbit Steelbook? Hell to the yeah!

bobagooch · 10-31-2013, 02:57 AM

Well, you can always watch the 2d version via UV digital code, and the 3d version via the blu ray disc, that's what I am gonna do.

GenPion · 10-31-2013, 03:41 AM

Hopefully the $29.99 price for their exclusive indicates a price drop for the standard edition release.

The regular 2D release is going to be $24.99 based on the ad in the "Deals" section.
