Page 1 of All postings relating to Lord of the Rings SE here please,(all users please read in)

Top of the morning to you all.

With Lord of the Rings, 4 disc edition on the horizon, i thought it a good idea to start 3 generic threads relating to the big releases, so that you can all contribute in one nice tidy place, and NOT in several threads that just get strewn across the software forum, (and eventually, lost).

So, if you have anything to say about LOTR SE, whatever region, please post here from now on. Lets keep the forums tidy!!

Thanks for your time,

well, what i would like to know is if the UK Extended Edition will have the same packaging as the American version: the fold out Digipack. I`m very worried that Entertainment in Video will use that horrid 4 disc case they used for some of the copies of Blade 2. Does anybody have any info about this?

AKAIK the LOTR extended cut will feature the spanky packaging of the US release, and that includes the one with the Argorath bookends!

Thank you for clearing this up! I was very worried about having to cancel my order of the Gift Set and buy the more expensive Dutch version instead (I live in The Netherlands, and the UK version is about 15 quid cheaper than the dutch Gift Set)

I still don`t trust EiV though...

I still havent seen Lord of the rings yet!!?!?! Just wondering if I should just go out and by the bog standard issue which is out now or wait for the 4 disc issue? I`m a big fan of Star Wars and everyone keeps telling me that if I like those films I will love Lord of the rings! The only thing that puts me off the film is the fact that its full of Elves,Goblins and wizzards! Too nerdy for me! So what do you reckon...4 disc? 2 disc? or not at all???

Great, now I`m all worried again about it being the horrible 4 disc case. Is there anybody who has seen the actual packaging, or has a phone number for Entertainment in Video so i can contact them about this? I`ve heard complaints about discs getting scratched/falling out of the the Blade 2 4disc packaging, and since my copy will have to travel from the UK to the Netherlands, I`m quite worried about this. None of the online stores can give me an answer about the packaging, and since the shipping date is getting closer and closer now...

Anyone spotted a good site to buy the 4 disc edition ?
Thanks Andy.

Many thanks for that address! Its given me a few ideas on what to do....might just go for the 4-disc set!!!!
