Lord of The Rings DVD, Now or Later?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-consider dept.

Entropy_ah writes "As many of us know, the Lord of The Rings: Fellowship of The Ring DVD was released Aug. 6. It is a 2 Disk version of the movie with a few added goodies. However, New Line Home Entertainment is going to release an extended 4 disk version and a DVD gift set on November 12th. The Kanas City Star has an article discussing the merits of each addition and touches on the issue of this being an attempt by the movie companies to gouge as much money from die-hard fans as possible." I'm waiting, but I definitely find this whole mess frustrating.

    Fantastic! The movie was basically a shoddy advert for the DVD and now it turns out the DVD is a shoddy advert for the other DVD.

    I know - why don't we all just put all our money in an envelope and send it to them? Then maybe they'd be able to hire a director for the next movie instead of a useless hack like Jackson.

    Yeah, yeah, mod me flamebait and/or troll but I'm not the one taking your money off you for half-finished projects.

    Hmm... ya, interesting rebuttal. But the fact remains that "boxen" sounds stupid. Thanks for your time!
