LOTR trilogy Extended Editions on blu

[admin_exported]

Have they announced when this will be released yet?

Cant decide whether to wait for the extended editions, but from what i recall, it was going to be quite a while before they were released....

They haven't made an official announcement, but several (reliable) sources are saying 2011 - even 2012 - before the extended editions appear on Blu-ray.

The desire seems to be to cash in on the hoopla surrounding the cinema release of The Hobbit - but as this has been subject to so many delays (the latest seeing Guillermo del Toro have to jump ship as director) and is now set for 2012 release....

2011.

After having had the 3 extended versions for years on DVD I've recently watched the first two on Blu Ray.

They are the first BDs which have really wowed me as I've noticed very little different in PQ between DVD and BD so far - and I actually liked going back to the theatrical versions as they seem better put together and don't go on so blummin' long...

I saw them in HMV and they did not look anything special.

I think they're way better than the DVD's.

Yes ! It's my opinion

On all other BDs I've watched, if it wasn't my system and I just walked in to see one playing I'd have just assumed a good telly and a good DVD player... But with these ones I've REALLY noticed stunning picture quality.

Although my DVD's were the NTSC versions....

I think he means that you've put the blu-rays wowed you, then put there's very little difference between DVD and BD? It reads like two conflicting opinions in the same sentence!

gel:I saw them in HMV and they did not look anything special.

I think making a judgement based on how they look on the TVs in HMV might be a little rash...

He is saying that the Lord of the RIngs blu-rays are the first that he thinks is a big improvement on the equivalent DVD. Perfectly clear to me.

well apart from some dodgy scenes in the fellowship of the rings , the trilogy on bd is very good , but not great imo , however , the dvds were poor for me , so , i do think there is a big difference between the trilogy on bd and dvd , the biggest of any movie/s ?? dunno ...
