5.0 out of 5 stars Sign up to be notified so that the EXTENDED edition may come out sooner rather than later, April 18, 2009
This review is from: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Editions) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
If more of us sign up to be notified on the upcoming extended edition release and if we do not 'pre-order' the theatrical edition then the extended edition will be released sooner (this year?) rather than later - it's my theory only but it doesn't hurt trying.

I am very happy that LoTR is finally coming to Blu. We read the book and then we read it again before we knew that a movie was in the making, we watched the movies in theaters, patiently waiting for each subsequent installment to be released, we bought the EXTENDED editions on DVD, one at a time, we had the strength to skip over the theatrical DVD releases.

We are going to skip over the theatrical Blu releases as well and we will be patiently waiting for the EXTENDED edition.

And, no, I'm not going to write that "I can't wait" for the full LoTR to be released on Blu. The truth is that, after all these years, I CAN wait :) and I am looking forward for what I am confident is going to be a stunning, incredible, out-of-this-world-beautiful extended LoTR release.

[Just wondering: how technically difficult it would be to release the extended edition with an option to watch the theatrical version only if so desired by simply skipping the extended cuts?]

While waiting for the extended edition, it's time to think of what may follow. The OVER-EXTENDED edition? :)
_________________________________

Note (June 19, 2009):

I just noticed the 'product alert' stating that this item is likely to be released sometime in 2011-2012. While not 'happy' for having to wait for a while longer, I can't think of a good reason to buy the Theatrical version. To me, the Extended edition is the forbidden fruit. I am not likely to watch the abbreviated version in no matter what format for as long as the Extended editions are available.

Hopefully, Mr. Jackson is going to use the extra time to further enhance and maybe add to what is already a stunning work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Things Come To Those Who Wait, April 17, 2009
By K. Brownridge (Edmonton, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Editions) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I waited patiently (okay maybe not THAT patiently) for the extended editions of the DVDs and I'm glad I did.

Now that the theatrical editions are coming out, the REAL versions won't be far behind and for true fans of this movie trilogy and Blu-ray enthusiasts, it will be worth the wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extended is the ONLY way to go., April 17, 2009
This review is from: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Editions) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Now that the theatrical versions are out I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the extended. I'd wager the presale of this set will set records.
