www.dvdpricesearch.com and the LOTR special edition (full screen or widescreen) is around $17, so that's most likely the version you'll get (theatrical release). director's cut is around $27, so it's not likely to be in the promo (but if it is, totally hot!). you're getting the movie at a good online price plus blockbuster rentals for $1 each, or rentals at $2.50 each (better than usual $3.75) and a free copy of LOTR. whichever way you want to look at it, it's a nice deal, unless you hate blockbuster and don't rent movies and would rather just spend the whole $25 on the director's cut. I'll probably go for it, but most likely give the DVD as a xmas gift and get the director's cut for myself and use the rentals of course.
