Seems reasonable. You reckon the US edition price will decrease during release?

Cool! Congratulate

Good thing already ordered. And just like you, will most probably get it this Sat! Slurp!

It out of stock since last week lo...

Oh yeah! I already decide and take the LOTR EE - Blu-ray 

When it coming, then you know... haha

Probably next week.

All right... I'm sure this announcement is going to liven-up discussion around the Interwebs. As many of you are aware, Warner's new Blu-ray release of The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy - Extended Edition finally arrives in stores tomorrow. It's a damn fine box set, that we think you'll all enjoy. Meanwhile, a few of you may be aware that there's been some controversy regarding screenshots and the color timing of the new 2K-remastered presentation of Fellowship of the Ring. Our feeling here at The Bits is that it's been blown out of proportion, as things tend to be these days. However, just to be sure, we started a process a couple weeks ago (before we posted our review) to encourage Warner Home Video and Wingnut Films to investigate the matter to make sure that the discs streeting tomorrow truly and accurately represent the creative vision of director Peter Jackson and cinematographer Andrew Lesnie. That process has been on-going, involving Wingnut and the filmmakers, and it appears it's finally concluded. Here's the studio's official statement on the issue, as of this afternoon:

"Warner Bros Home Entertainment Group confirms that The Lord of the Rings The Motion Picture Trilogy Extended Edition Blu-ray accurately represents the intended look of each of the three features.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring™ was remastered from the original digital production files in order to reproduce the full color imagery of the feature."

So there it is. We have little doubt that the controversy will continue in some quarters, and that those who are convinced there's a problem here will continue to feel that way. Nevertheless, we are told that the filmmakers have checked the discs and confirmed this is the intended look. We suspect that when the discs are actually in YOUR hands tomorrow, the vast majority of you will be very happy with them. We further suspect that many of those who've been following the controversy for the past couple of weeks will wonder what the fuss was about. It shall be interesting to see what the 'morrow brings. Much rejoicing (and a bit of talk about 'revisionism'), we predict.

By the way, one other note on Rings: For those of you who have been wondering if the downloadable Digital Copies versions of the films are the actual Extended Editions... they are. I've downloaded them myself to confirm. The quality is low compared to the Blu-rays, of course, but if you want the EEs available in more portable versions, you'll have them.

Stay tuned...

Digital copies are rather useless when Blu-ray is there..

That's what my brother does, whichever movie that i have which comes with DC, he will copy to his iPhone.

I got two sister, one holding iPhone, another iPod, both also said, stop load those rubbish in, waste my space! haha!

Even if u hv iphone or ipod, izit worth watching the dc copy on it? screen too small ler where got syiok. maybe ipad slightly betterla but still bad audio...

Congratulate for LOTR EE I still need to wait until next week.

In Singapore? That's pretty quick..

I wonder why your parcel went to Singapore?
I have once order from Amazon US and the route are:
US -> Hong Kong -> Bangkok -> Penang and reach me directly. Never go to Singapore at all...
