Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
I think the packaging is great. The EE ones were nice as well. For a second I was considering switching the disks out. So what is everyone going to do with their old EE sets?

Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
Sold my EEs on Amazon Marketplace for $38 total a few months ago. Went a ways towards the upgrade!
I feel no attachment to larger packaging that has the same content. :D BTW: LOVE the new packaging. The magnetic clasp, thick chipboard box, and special black 5-disc BD elite cases make it feel really special. Love that they give people the option to display just the cases on the shelf as some people are into that. |
Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
i like the packaging, but i decided to put the 6 movie discs in the Canadian SteelBook™. Still makes for a very nice presentation and not so much worried about all the supplements at this time.

Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
Got my set from Amazon last night. Love the packaging. The outer case is very classy and sturdy and the black cases are slick. I watched part of FOTR last night, about 40 minutes, and I didn't see any kind of teal/green tint. Everything looked normal to me. The sky was blue. When the Ringwraith first shows up in town, I did notice a very, very slight teal tint in the night. There may be more instances of that throughout the film, but nothing I have seen so far is worth losing sleep over, or throwing massive fits on forums.

Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
I'm still planning on getting these, but they need to come down in price a little first. Glad the color timing doesn't sound as bad as it originally seemed.

Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
I hate to say it, but what I'm seeing on my ISF'd display is almost dead on with the screenshots that have been posted. The shot of the four hobbits sitting in the snow does look that green.
I did not hold any piece of white paper up to the screen first and I did not look at the TE first. I just started the disc, darkened the room and turned on the backlight behind my display for bias lighting. I could see the tint on the title card right away. What I'm hoping is when I start the movie and actually watch it all the way through my eyes will adjust. |

Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
I kinda feel like I'm taking crazy pills with this. The green on FOTR is unbearable, and it got to me right away. The title card is green, the once beautiful blue sky in the shire is now a muddy gray, and I can't STAND how gold and yellow look, they look like a yellow crayon.
I thought that FOTR was the best looking of all the movies, it had a national geographic, realistic look, and now it looks over-stylized. The only advantage to doing this is to make the CGI feel less dated, but I really feel that it hurts the experience. |

Either they released two versions of the FOTR VBD, one green and the other not, just to fuck with or some of us have some screwed up displays. I've watched FOTR and found the color 95% the way I remember it from watching the DVDs. The places where I notice any difference, it's very, very subtle.

It could be (most likely) the color/contrast setting on your HDTV.

Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011

Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
^ :lol: it's at 5:30 in the video.
I still don't understand unboxing videos. |
Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
Hmm I saw a jump cut right before he pulled the cases out of the box.
Also if anyone wants that Best Buy Ring it's on the .com for $4.99. |
Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
WTF is that guy's problem with the cases? I think they're marvelous.

Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
I'm assuming there was that skip..cuz...I dunno...the moment he realized that...he probably got pissed..later composed himself....finished the video

Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
Still don't understand why they couldn't have thrown all 3 dvds of the special features onto one bd.
|
Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
From looking at other forums, it appears that a bunch of these incorrect sets are out there, that have some disc missing while another is duplicated. (I think some people on amazon have mentioned it).
I would be incredibly annoyed myself if I found that. |
Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
I was kind of surprised to see that the DVDs are labelled as 2011 and not 2002 through 2004. At least they're not completely recycled. :lol:

Also, at this point in the DVD lifecycle, it's probably still cheaper to press 3 DVDs and pay for a multi disc case, than it is to press one Bluray. |

Discussed up thread already, that would have meant re-authoring all the menus. This way they can just dump the digital files from 8 years ago and not have to pay somebody to link them all to one menu.

Which would be all well and good if this was a bargain-priced release. It's not. It's priced the same as a full-blown new release. Re-authoring and compiling the extras onto one BD, especially on a BD set, is pretty much what we're paying for here, but not getting.

The approach taken is inconsistent with a package of this purported caliber. The Alien Quadrilogy set is an example of how to do it right. |
Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
Did anyone ever look at the disc sizes to see if the films needed to be split over two discs?

I can stop cursing for an hour on here.
That's a pretty fucking big deal here. |
Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
Actually I don't really mind having the special features on DVD. PS3 currently upscales DVDs but not SD content on Blu-ray discs. Seems kind of silly that they still haven't updated that feature, but eh well...

Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
GB size of movies (not including other metadata or other video files on disc*):
FOTR: (Total run time of 3:48): - Disc 1: 29.6 GB - Disc 2: 34.3 GB - Total size: 63.9 GB Two Towers: (Total run time of 3:55): - Disc 1: 29.6 GB - Disc 2: 36 GB - Total size: 65.6 GB ROTK (Total run time of 4:23): - Disc 1: 35.9 GB - Disc 2: 38.7 GB - Total size: 74.6 GB *Unlike the *.VOB (DVD) file structure, the *.m2ts video file in a BD-ROM does not have to be broken up into 1 GB chunks. |
