LOTR Extended Edition Blu-Ray Preorder

Bought the set today. Nice to see they didn't put each whole movie on one disc instead of still making you change discs half way through.

It's a far walk to the blu-ray player isn't it?

Back in the days my DVD player was a carousel so I could switch to the next DVD with the press of a button. Alas, no BluRay players come in carousel types . . .

Who would've predicted that the new BluRay EEs are also a calorie burner!

Yes, thank God they didn't try to compress the crap out of it and squeeze each movie onto a single disc. The artefacts, macro blocking and detail loss would have really sucked.

Indeed.

Besides someone that cant get up half way through a 3-4 hour movie to switch a disc most likely needs to look into getting on a tredmill.

UK get shafted again with no digital copies either . So if no one wants theirs I'd love them

/sarcasim

yeah - why didn't they put all 3 movies on one disc? I don't want to get up just to change movie. Never mind it's supposed to be hd - let's bring back vhs-quality - NOW!

Yes they do...I have one!

 

[Rorywan]

Very disappointed with the extras discs. DVDs!? What a rip off!

 

[The Josh]

Those were only filmed in SD would be sort of pointless to try to upconvert them.

 

[Rorywan]

Really? On what format?

 

[The Josh]

They were originally with the DVD EE so filmed in SD for DVD.

 

[The Josh]

Watching FOTR EE right now. Looks even better than it did on the big screen I think. Just got past the second breakfast scene and the snow looked as white as white can be.

 

[nash]

Watched FOTR EE blu last night. looked absolutely stunning on my LED set. Im in love.

 

[Fritz]

I downloaded my digital copy of Fellowship to my iPad but haven't watched it yet. One of these days I'll give the blu rays a try. Good thing I rushed out and bought them.

 

[The Josh]

The Fellowship was the smallest sized file of the DC at 2.94 GB with ROTK being 3.67.

 

[The Ween]

I've never used digital copies before. If you download those to your computer, can you move them to another computer then? Sorry if this sounds stupid but.....I am!

 

[The Josh]

Its part of your itunes account and you can move those to another computer later if you have to.

Oh, so you're downloading them to iTunes. See how much I know?

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, any DC I get I DL through them and put it into my account there. That way I can put it on my Ipod or Iphone when I'm on the go.
