Lord of the Rings on Blu-ray

[Rico]

Amazing even a Blu-Ray disc can't hold it all.

Well that's currently being debated online.. some say there is plenty of space some do there's not enough.

Debated?  Oh, I'm confused, doesn't your post indicate part one, part two, etc. for the films?

Wait.. what... Now I'm confused..

folks are debating as to why Warner's decided to put the movies across two blu-rays instead of one. Some say blu-rays are too small from that long of a movie at the quality that they are giving us.. and others say that the 1 blu-ray can hold the entire movie at the quality that they are giving us.

Oh - they are debating the decision.  I see now.  Well here's the deal.  Blu-Ray's do come in two flavors (sizes).  Roughly 25GB and 50GB.  Depending on the film and extras, some movies come out on the 25GB size and some on the 50GB size.  Now, that said I'm guessing they probably could fit even the extended film on a 50GB disc.  But, who knows how they are encoding it and so forth.  I don't think one disc change is a huge deal.  Besides, after two hours of watching, you need to stretch a little.  Part of me wishes it was one disc, but I can live with two per movie.

It's that price at Best Buy this week too.  Plus Best Buy has a deluxe version with little figures of the characters for $99.  Anyone pick this up yet and check it out?

I bought the Extended Edition but I don't care to spend another $30.00 for some goofy figurines. We watched FOTR and I thought the transfer is just beautiful. It has more of a sepia palate than I remember though but it might just be my memory. It's been quite a while since I had viewed them. In anticipation of the Blu-Ray release I was holding off. The $69.99 price is an excellent buy for these wonderful films. A must have in my opinion.

This would be cool but I already have the extended versions of the DVD so will have to hold off for now. If I replace any of my DVD's with blu-ray I would have to do my Star Trek's first.

I received mine the other day and I am going to wait until next week to watch when I get my surround sound system up and running again.

I have the Extended "limited" editions. But now I have a Hd tv I am so tempted to go blu ray. Not seen this set over here though. Maybe Amazon have it.

UGHHH.

I have been resisting the Bluray movement.  I like streaming...

This, however, is difficult to pass on.  Also, the Star Wars movies will be hard to pass on.
