[B]Yep, about $60 for the box set - meanwhile, you can buy each individual release for about $15 (making that $45 total).
And New Line has stated that they'll provide the box for those who've already purchased the titles individually. Very classy.
Man, these Lord of the Rings discs (in every variation) really do DVD right. I can't really fault them in any way.
wait can you or someone confirm this please, newline will send you the trilogy box if you send them what proof of all 3 dvd's, does anyone know how that works and when did they say this

I'm sure they'd be happy to send the box to those who haven't yet purchased the other two titles, since having the box with two empty slots will likely encourage people to buy the other discs.

At the press conference New Line said that they'd make the box available to everyone who bought Return of the King. They're planning a collection for the EEs, too - expect a mail-in certificate for both versions.

Hmmm the last interview I saw (very recently) with a New Line PR guy said that the only difference between the individual releases and the boxed set was the box, and that the box wouldn't be available separately. I'll see if I can find a link to the interview (forgot where I read it).

Am i the only one who thinks the box is butt ugly? It's cheap flimsy cardboard and just displays the covers of the 3 movies a few times. Now if it was classy and just had... say a solid color with the title The Lord of the Rings and maybe a picture of the ring on it, that would be something worth wanting.

I have not bought any of these DVD's yet, because I've waited for a boxed set of the EE's. Hopefully when it finally comes, it will be a good one.
And I agree, the sleeve containing the TE's is not very attractive.

They had originally planned to make the box available, but now it looks like they aren't going to.
There's another thread where you can get really gorgeous metal boxes to fit the trilogy from Paul Champagne.
Oh, heck, here's the link (LotR is about mid-page):

For only $30 it's worth it if you're a big fan of the trilogy:

Yeah, the box is clown shoes.
Get the Champagne box above. It's a class act, and it was satisfying to slide the third set into it, thus completing the trilogy.
