The high definition formats that have recently launched offer exceptional picture and sound quality in addition to new interactive bonus feature capabilities. New Line Home Entertainment is committed to the high definition format and is very excited about the idea of releasing the Trilogy in the format. However, New Line is also committed to maximizing the capabilities of the technology to deliver a cutting edge high definition experience. This will take more time as well as the participation of the filmmakers to achieve. It is currently not scheduled for release until, at the earliest, 2008.

You can't ignore that, since it's on the official website, but if the rumored release date is true, it's for the Christmas shopping season, and that's got to be a hard season to pass up, so there could be some truth to the rumor. It would be nice to know when the answer to that FAQ was put on that site.
