Well that was fast.

3-disc


2-disc


1-disc

E Unit

It was? I'll probably pick up the 3D set.

Mr. Cinema

There's supposed to be an extended cut released in Q4, which I'm guessing will be loaded with features. Doesn't look like the theatrical version will have a bonus disc.

A Best Buy steelbook would be nice though.

TomOpus

I might get the one-disc for now and then get the extended set with extras later in Q4.

mattysemo247

I'll wait for the extended edition or maybe even the deluxe set a couple years from now once they are all released.

Giles

Gandalf and Beorn on the cover, that'd be odd (and yes I noted "artwork TBA"), will that scene be in the extended cut or the beginning of the next film?

Fok

I'm guessing there's going to be a EE set released this year and probably a new boxset in a few years time. I'm going to wait for one of those.

bunkaroo

It probably hasn't had the the theatrical legs they expected it to have, so why not get it out sooner.

E Unit

It came out theatrically in December and the Blu streets at the end of March. I think 3 months isn't sooner than any other theatrical to home video release window.

milo bloom

It has outgrossed Fellowship and Two Towers (worldwide totals) already.

DJariya

Will probably get the 2-disc and then whore myself out for the EE later this year.

Alan Smithee

Will it be at the high frame rate?

anomynous

No, blu-ray doesn't support it currently

RocShemp

Some say that perhaps they can do a 720p60Hz transfer for 3D but, as of now, the native 48fps version can't be released on BD.

I say for now because the rumor is that the new HDMI spec about to be released will include HFR 3D at 48Hz.

milo bloom

Probably just the single disc for me, then the extended later.

Still waiting for a better packaging of the LOTR extendeds, it's absolutely absurd the way they just stuffed in the extras DVDs instead of putting them onto a Blu-ray Disc.

islandclaws

Odd cover, considering that scene wasn't in the film.

I'm waiting for the extended cut. This stop-gap release would just be a waste to buy for me.

fumanstan

Never bothered watching this in theaters, so I'm glad there's a release coming out so quickly. I might just Redbox it though if there's plans for an extended edition.

Solid Snake

there are plans for an extended.

Josh-da-man

That's not the final cover, just a temp graphic. But it's still odd that they would use that image when that scene wasn't in the movie. It's like using Lando or Yoda or Boba Fett for a cover image for the original Star Wars.

Alan Smithee

Can I at least see it at 30fps then?

fitprod

Nope...

fitprod

Dan

...why?

fitprod

You want interlacing added? Blu-ray does not support 1080p @ 30fps. It does support 720p @ 30fps, but do you want it to have less resolution than the standard 2D BD release?

Evan Meadow

Get the movie out now for those who don't care as much about the EE, cause the studio knows there's a heck of a lot more fans waiting for that one and that'll be where probably the majority of the money is.

asianxcore

If I can get this cheap, I'll probably pick it up.
