The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Blu-ray

Amazon is now taking pre-orders for The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Limited Extended Edition Blu-ray Edition.

While Peter Jackson‘s The Lord of the Rings movies are already out on Blu-ray, this new box set contains the extended versions of all the films, along with over 26 hours of behind-the-scenes and making-of bonus material, including the Costa Botes documentaries. It also comes with the digital versions of the films.

According to Amazon, this Blu-ray box set from New Line Home Video is scheduled to be released some time in 2011 or 2012. If you’re wondering why you should pre-order now, aside from getting it on the day of release, you’ll also lock in the current price of $83.99; if the price decreases between your order time and the end of the day of the release date, you’ll receive the lowest price.

See full details of the box set here below from the product page; you can also view the trailer.

Also, if you’re confused at this point as to all of the different LoTR box sets out there (apparently, this new one will be the fifth one), scroll down on the product page for a comparison chart.

  1. “Limited Extended Edition”? Really?

  2. I’m guessing they mean Limited Edition Extended Edition, but yeah, their wording is ambiguous, lol.

  3. Yeah, I’m assuming that’s what they mean as well… more of a “Didn’t you
    guys read this before sending out?” sort of thing, though.

  4. It seems like I’ve been waiting for this forever. Hopefully someone won’t decide that 3D needs to be added in and then re-release them. (ahem…Star Wars)
