Where will you be getting ROTK?
I am torn over which free thing to get with ROTK? The deals so far are:
Best Buy - decent price, probably $15.99, with Entertainment Weekly Exclusive ROTK issue
Suncoast - Probably $19.99, Mount Doom lithograph
Borders - $19.99, 4 posters
FYE - $22.99 with $10 MIR, Aragorn action figure maybe
Which looks to be the best option so far?

Eventually, I will get the trilogy from CH.
In all honesty, I have no interest in this trilogy, and haven't seen any of them, but know that its one of those DVD "Essentials".
Will definately watch them when I own then, down the line.

Where's the e-tailers in the poll, dammit? Not everyone has a Best Buy, FYE, or Suncoast in their area. Also not everyone feels the need to run around hell's forty acres to find the best "bonus disc" buy from some B&M store. I'm perfectly happy to sit at home, make a few clicks with my mouse, and have someone else bring it to my door.
With that said, I had originally bought the TE of FOTR, gave it to my sister for Xmas (after buying the EE), but when the TE of TTT came out, I rebought the TE of FOTR along with the TE of TTT. Of course bought the EE of TTT as well. So now when the TE of ROTK comes out, I'll buy it for completeness sake, and then I'll get the EE of ROTK. I like the TE releases for the covert-art and different extras.

I'll probably get it release day at FYE to get the rebate. I would preorder, but I'd hate to get it late (expedited shipping pretty much kills the better deal). Also, I will be hoping to stumble onto it really early.

as stated above, i'm not a huge fan of hte trilogy, but own the first two (mainly because they're nice for a collector) so i'll probably buy it from someone used after the EE comes out

Will be getting it at Wal-Mart at midnight since I don't want to wait another half a day to see it again.
Own the theatrical and EEs of the previous two films, will do the same with ROTK. Best trilogy ever made IMO.

I was planning on getting it at Walmart but I'll probably go with the FYE deal. I'm going to get the full screen version since the other two I have are FS, then sell them alltogether for about $20-$25 and buy all 3 EEs (in widescreen)

it was the final fulfillment title for me at CH- so it ended up costing $7.75 with tax and shipping.
i'll watch it at least once or twice and then sell it at the end of summer for about $7 (or more), and then spend the next few months anticipating the EE.
best of both worlds.
