The good news is that this decision was made because director Peter Jackson wants to save the extended versions for a super Blu-ray boxset to be released near the theatrical release of 'The Hobbit'.

Well for me it will still come down to if 1st are they in either TrueHD or DTS-HD/MA 2nd is Price. If the transfer is done as well as the SD versions(especially Fellowship) they should be OUTSTANDING!. IMO Fellowship is one of thee,if not thee best transfers EVER! To this day I still use it a reference disc.

^ well.. according to imdb (remember everything they post sometimes is not 100% accurate) Del Toro is to start shooting the film sometime in 2010. I read somewhere that 'The Hobbit' would be split into two movies, is that true?

FYE is already taking orders for LOTR trilogy on BD for Xmas. They didnt have a date but said that the entire set was coming for $99. Ill wait for some proof but have my fingers crossed it includes both versions of each and all the extras and some BD exclusives.

$99? These MSRPs are getting ridiculous. You know they will just double-dip a year later with the EEs and then a year later with bonus stickers and buttons.

$99 at FYE is probably $69 everywhere else or lower. I found FYE to be one of the highest BD places yet. Most of their titles were $39.99 to $42.99 on the shelf with very few under $30 that werent used.

the HiDef projection I saw of 'Fellowship' last year at Wolf Trap (with a 'live' orchestral accompanyment) was stunning. ('Two Towers' will have the same set up for two August performances)

Does anyone know if they're really shooting the hobbit?

If Critter meant the SD version I would beg to differ. I think it was one of thee best transfers of movies,especially regarding the audio portion. The best one was Fellowship in DTS. Of all the HD movies I have,the few that come to mind that MAY rival Fellowship is Pan's Labyrinth(HD DVD),Batman Begins(HD DVD),Casino Royale(BD) oh and Titanic(SD version).
I just hope that they do as good of a job on the transfers on the BD versions.
