It's a money making scheme, a year or so after this they will probably release the extended editions on Blu-ray.

DVD's in a Bluray collectors edition
Why can't we get the extra's in HD too, or are we only half way into the HD generation?

[Hasnain_G]

Yes finally

[smackdown321]

super excited for this!! but quite disappointed at the presence of so many DVD's in the set

Sorry, but as much I like LotR I won't be getting this.

For those that haven't seen the Extended version, it is so much closer to the book (ie. superior) than the Theatrical release and is clearly just an attempt at raking in the cash, as they could easily have included both editions in one package.
But then LotR was an epic and not many films come even close to what it achieved, so I don't really blame the companies for milking it - they just won't be getting may cash

Soundrp like a waste, more so with all those dvds.

I just want my extended version dvd in HD please.

Have to agree. Only the ignorant few will even consider wasting their money on this. I shall wait for the Extended Edition thank you very much

It doesn't seem worth it imo. I've got the DVD extended editions, and i definitely want LOTR on BR, but i'll wait for the extended edition BR as well.
