Extended Lord of the Rings Blu-rays to hit Blighty
Blu Mordor?
Fans of the Lord of the Rings saga will be eager to know the Blu-ray version of the Extended Edition of the trilogy will be released in the UK on 28 June.
Warner Home Entertainment announced the 15-disc box-set, which will include the special features from previous releases - six discs from the Extended Edition DVDs and three from the Limited Edition set - in the US, last week.
UK distributor Entertainment in Video today told Reg Hardware the set will debut over here on the same day.
The three films themselves will be spread over six BDs and include more than two hours of extended scenes. The true LoTR fan will settle for nothing less.
According to the US Amazon webpage - which has already begun taking advance orders - the bonus features will be on DVDs, while only the films themselves are offered on Blu-ray - no surprise, since the extras will all be standard definition anyway.
Entertainment in Video didn't say how much the set will cost over here, but as soon as we know, we'll pass it on. ®

One set to rule them all
15-disc box-set? Shurely there should be 20:
Three Films on Blu-ray under the sky
Seven for the special features on the DVD
Nine for the Director's Cut (don't ask why)
One for the index of what's on the other nineteen
In the Limited Extended Edition where the Shadows lie.
One Set contains them all, In one Set you'll queue them,
One Set you'll bring them all and in the darkness view them
In the Limited Extended Edition where the Shadows lie.
How many discs?
One thing is for sure, the true dedicated fan will achieve something they never thought possible. Watching this lot in one session will transform them into a character from the films.
Shame it'll be Gollum, as they stumble blinking into the sunlight after such a session.
Re: Apparently this is listed as $120
Not too bad! There is a BluRay player in the box, right?
*Applause*
That was a phenomenally geeky effort, sir. Bravo!
You cant beat the old analogue quality
I think I will wait for the 600 vhs tapes edition myself.
