Years.
There were 78 million DVD players out there when he finally relented and put them out on standard DVD. There's probably 1/1000th of that figure out there currently for HD players. It'll be a long, long wait.
And, since you're talking about double- and triple-dipping, I assume you are referencing the releases that are coming out today (9/12). The only difference in these new editions is the addition of the non-anamorphic OT sourced from laserdisc masters. If you're waiting for *that* to be available in HD, you may be in for a much longer delay (possibly forever).

I would suggest that the mods will close this thread. Otherwise we get a 'when will LOTR be released on HD, when will <x> be released, etc'.
