The US 3D release is 5 discs, as Disc 1 and 2 is the 3D version of the film (according to the back info)...

Our 2D version includes a DVD copy, so am I right to assume that the extra 2 discs in this set are because the DVD version is split over two discs?

Can we get the 3D Extended Edition without having to buy the statue edition? or is that the only version?

You're right about the 2D version. 3xBD 2xDVD.

The statue edition is the only way to get the 3D as far as i know.

If anyone wants a free digital copy code from the extended edition, send me a PM. Works in NZ too.

Picked up the standard 2D release as I managed to get the counter staff to take the 25% off the sticker price, rather than their shittier $3 'special' price.

Comes in a black case, never seen those before.

Both the US and Australian Lord of the Rings extended editions in the trilogy sets came with black cases. The single releases had the standard blue cases.

The eventual extended editions will make that initial steelbook edition redundant.

Not if the next two theatrical editions are steelbooks to match it.

Just something to be wary of...

With the EE packaging, the rating sticker and Ultraviolet sticker come off easily, but the back card is attached with tape, and takes some of the colour off the cover with it. I didn't realise and I now have an ugly white mark on the front of the slipcase. Why they didn't just use gum, I have no idea.
