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.

    I had a LOTR DVD rip (with AC-3 audio track) for 3 months no. Only annoyance is the occasional scroller urging me to call the MPAA :)

    That's called getting my money's worth since almost half of the 100+ DVD's I purchased were not really worth the $15-$20 price tag

    PLEASE, PLEASE don't say "boxen." The plural form of "box" is boxes. Saying "boxen" makes it seem like you played too much D&D.
