First Return of the King reviews start appearing...

The Digital Bits claim their review will be up at midnight.

As for you, you're either buying this one without a second thought or holding out for December's 4-disc. Or you're still not won over. ;)

Ign's review is up.

it looks great so far. i know alot of you were concerned about a 201 min movie all on one disc, but the picture quality is amazing according to reviews. the bit rate is at around 8.5.

SOLD!!

Stupid May 25th. Destroying my wallet.

crap you're right I forgot what was coming out that day:


- Bubba Ho-Tep
- Buffy The Vampire Slayer - The Complete Sixth Season
- Carry on Laughing
- Duel in the Sun
- Guns of the Magnificent Seven
- Hell in the Pacific
- Junior Bonner
- The Larry Cohen Collection
- The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King
- Northern Exposure - The Complete First Season (why is the MSRP so expensive??)
- Slaughterhouse-Five
- Smiles Of A Summer Night - Criterion Collection
- Stray Dog - Criterion Collection
- Underworld - Extended Edition

it also doesn't also help that the prior week the Disney Treasure discs also get released - May is turing out to be a very expensive month.
