Im sure it will be worth the wait :)

I now have to decide whether to finally get the TE Box set or just ROTK since im sure i'll want to watch it again before xmas.

hmmm decisions decisions.....

sucks it's pushed back...makes my decision to get the TE all the more worth it!

As long as I know it's coming out, I don't mind the wait.

My B-day is in Nov, so I don't have the x-mas factor to make the extra month of wait more bearable. :D

It would have been wiser to have a November release date. As everyone knows christmas shopping starts on black friday. I'm sure if it's out then it would fly off the shelves. As it is, it will be a last minute gift idea.

One month later is no problem. It'll still be mine.

my bday is in Dec :D, wat a great "suprise" gift that will be!!! means i can save me pennies!!! woohoo!! :hump:

I have no problem waiting on this. I MAY pick up the normal copy (seeing as I have the other two movies in both the normal release and the EE w/statues. :)

Why? I only lend out the NON-EE versions..:)

ANy updates?

DEC 7 is the last any one has said as far as I know...

Christmas 2002 I received the first EE from my mil and last year I received the second, also from her. I wasn't expecting to get ROTK EE until xmas anyway, because I wanted her to complete the tri-fecta. I'm also scheduled to have my home theater complete by late Nov/early Dec so this should work out perfectly. I'm one of the few that doesn't like theaters and always wait for the DVD release. In the case of LOTR, I've always waited for the EE version. I'll be having a great HT breaking in party in late December where we'll re-watch the first two editions and then watch ROTK for the first time. That'll be one great weekend.

No, I think it's December 14th.

Not a problem here, as long as they take the time to do it right. Not like other studio's who rush out releases and then make us double dip.

Thanks for the dates...

14th is good for me...

Yeah, I'm not too bummed by this. I have enough to watch between now and then the way it is already.

Matrix Boxset comes out the 7th too...

Originally there was ROTK, Matrix, Batman S2, and Superman S1 all on the 7th...ROTK is on the 14th now...and Bats and Sups have been pushed back to Jan. my wallet can breath now...

Confirmed 12/14 from DVD Answers

Stacks of extra material will also be featured, including cast and crew audio commentaries and multiple behind the scenes documentaries and featurettes. The SRP will be around $39.99. Also arriving on the 14th will be a collector's giftset which includes the aforementioned four-disc extended edition, along with a Sideshow/Weta statue of Minas Tirith and a Howard Shore Creating the Lord of the Rings Symphony DVD. The retail price for this will be set at around $79.92.

That extra 50 minutes just amazes me!!!! WOW.......Can't wait! :thumbsup:

Lord of the Rings Ad Retraction
 

Not official date yet:

Well hopefully this means they will try for a pre-Black Friday release. It's only a 2 1/2 week bump, should be doable, as it seems like it's done already.

A pre-sell date is not the release date. A pre-sell date tells retailers when they can start taking advance orders (I think)

I know the diference but read again,
This advertisement should be disregarded in its entirety

And NewLine send this info to TORN:

I expect it will be right before Christmas - with the anticipation - they know they'll score on bunches of Christmas presents.
