It's only 1p more on amazon.

That's true, but Amazon do not have a high street shop i can pick up from close to me, so I prefer to support my local shop. Plus you can still get it delivered free by post if you can't be bothered to leave your house.

£15 at Tesco as well:

Our local Blockbuster has gone along with our HMV,which cuts down my options somewhat.

Steelbook Bluray £17.50 on Amazon, pre-ordered mine a month ago, eagerly awaiting it

 

[BenLaw]

That's a reasonably low premium for the steelbook. I don't think I could bring myself to buy the vanilla blu rays of this series, when it will obviously come out as a boxset and then an extended box set. I'm happy to wait.

If you still have a local HMV, the 3D version including 2D disc and download copy is available for £15.99.

Trust me Ben, the normal version looks like an extended version!

I don't think I can watch if the film is any longer.

Hi Jonnyyhifi

Is it the same as the Amazon 3D version that has 4 discs & region free for £15.99?

 

[Big Chris]

I picked up the 2D version in-store at Sainsbury's on Monday for £15. 3D was £20 and the DVD was a tenner.

Hi,

Got the 3D BD delivered today - looking at the 3D BD, it has 'Part Two' written on the right hand side of the disc?

Anyone else got this?

Thought 'An Unexpected Journey' was Part One?

Cheers,

Cofnchtr.

Sky HD are showing this one for half price, £1.99 , not sure for how long but cheap for a one off showing!

Yea, I didn't get that either! :?

Because the disc contains so much information they split the film into to 2 parts just like the extended versions of Lord Of The Rings to get the best quality possible.

Yep the 3D version takes up more disc space and so is split over 2 discs but the 2D version is on 1 disc, I was disappointed that the 3D version was split...although not a huge pain we are back to my bugbear of the Lord Of The Rings extended edition boxset with those movies all being split over two discs.

Is a 50gb disc really not big enough to contain the whole 3D movie? Perhaps production costs have dictated that the 3D version be split between two 25gb discs? Anyone know what the answer is? Disappointing either way.

I am concerned that Peter Jackson and Warner will bring out an extended edition of all the Hobitt movies but as they are already wringing the neck out of it with 3 movies out of such a small story when compared to Lord Of The Rings I'm not sure how much will be missing anyway, does anyone know if an extended edition is in the works or is it just rumour?

As a 3D disc though The Hobitt was outstanding I thought, despite being split over 2 discs.

 

[bigboss]

The extended edition is definitely coming; Warner Bros has already made an announcement to that effect.

I'm not bothered with the extended edition. It's already too long - the reason why the 3D version is split into 2 parts I think.

 

[mcjwalters]

Yup, be very afraid ........

There is to be extended versions of all Hobbit movies.................

God, life really is too short for this dribble.

 

[Jonnyhifi]

f1only , apologies for tardiness in replying. Yes there are 4 discs, and I can't see any reference to a region on the packaging or the discs.
