TTT DVDs

Okay, soon the "normal" TTT DVD is going to be released.
Are you going to buy it? Or are you going to wait for the Extended one?
What features do you think will be included on the discs and what would you love to see?

And BTW, did you hear which some of the additional scenes on the Extended will be? Great scenes. A lot more of the book, another fan DVD, I'd say.

Although it would probably not happen, I would like the ext. DVD of TTT to have an option of playing the theatrical version of the film.

I was disappointed because the FotR Extended DVD didn't have the extras from the first one of it.
But okay, that's a question of making money.

I agree about wanting the extras from the Theatrical DVD added to the EE DVD in addition to the extras from the EE DVD. You are probably right about the making money aspect.

I will buy the ex edition. I never have watched the extras on my DVD from FoTR! I'm don't like to see the actors out of role, and I don't want to hear about "the making of the movie". Just the story please!

Ah, then you are a person who just wants to enjoy the movie and doesn't want to know the background.
I'm on the other side. I love to know everything.

I'm the same: I love seeing all the "making-of" features, interviews...I'm especially inerested in costumes and sets. My family will probably end up getting both.

I will be renting the TT DVD and buying the extended edition. I love watching the extras. The technical parts are very interesting. And the actors are all very intelligent and funny.
I was disapointed the FOTR EE didn't have Enya's music video. I think it was on the earlier DVD.

Yup. New Line will earn some money with me.
Last year I only had the Extended but I don't think that I can wait that long this year.

Lalaith I too feel the same way. I've pre-ordered the last two movies and won't be getting TTT until later this month. While I enjoy the backround information on the version I got of LOTR it's the movie itself that interests me more. After all once you've seen how Middle Earth was created etc. the rest is redundant at best. I do hope that the ROTK comes out sooner than the last two.

I don't think that RotK will be released earlier.

I found out that Blockbuster is doing a similar deal as with FotR. You pay $29.99 and get the dvd and 7 rentals. Yay! (Not as good as the other, but still good enough for me!)

Last year I didn't have a DVD but I bought the extended VHS and rented the original.
This year I have ordered the original and probably buy the EE later, or I might copy if I finally get the DVD writer that I want

My family pre-orderd TTT (and we get a free poster Yay) but we will probably get the EE as well. In my opinion it is good to have both don't know why I'm just wierd like that .

I think i'm going to get the normale one on vide (VHS) and then get the EE on DVD. That way I can have it for both.

Well, now I'm undecided because WalMart will have it for $18, and I don't really care about the rentals anyway, so I'm not sure.
I'm glad I got them both last time because they not only added scenes, but changed it from the theatrical release. So this way I have both versions.
