Lord of the Rings Extended Bluray $49.99 Amazon

shame they don't make movies like this too often. not that i was the biggest fan of this storyline, but still epic movie to watch. I hope to see something similar cause Clash of the Titans was a huge letdown for me.

Luckily we have The Hobbit coming. I can't wait for that one.

Really would like a good BD release that used branching to provide both theatrical and extended versions. The extended isn't really a "director's cut" - according to Peter Jackson, the theatrical release is that (he thinks it is the "better" movie as a movie, since it flows better). He said the extended version is for enthusiasts (including him) who are more interested in the story than the cinematic experience...

Wondering if mine will too.

I actually bought them all on the 'theatrical' versions blu-ray, and didn't watch those.

As much as I can nit pick the movies, I think I'll enjoy re-watching, been months since I watched through about 4 audio commentary tracks on the extended DVD.

Warner Brothers own store has it for the same price, plus a "portrait collection."

Same and with Peter Jackson doing it. It should be epic like the LOTR series was!!

I'm such a cheapskate with this set, but if Amazon temporarily matches that tomorrow I'll finally buy it.

I think it's only in store, which the closest Fry's for me is 4 1/2 hours away... Good for people that have one local!

The Hobbit is a prequel to LOTR.

Darn, but it's a chance we take and a price worth it to us and a good price.

I doubt Amazon will retroactively price match it.

Well Hobbit is a prequel to Fellowship by 70 odd "Middle Earth" years and really tells a completely different story than what the trilogy does, reading those books or watching those movies really doesn't give very much insight to the actual story of The Hobbit aside from a few passing references. Well, at least as far as the movies go. Been a while for the books.

Does netflix have the extended edition? Cuz frankly I am at the point where I hate spending 50 bucks or more. Would rather rent and watch a couple times and lose the urge to waste that kind of cash.

Well, actually I admit thats still pretty tempting.
:hmm:

No. That was the first thing I checked when I saw this.

 

[Craig234]

I don't think Netflix blu-ray has the same image quality as a blu-ray disc anyway. Not sure.

If you don't care about whether it the extended version or not, Target.com has them for $6 each.
