£30 in Tescos, just picked one up – Bargain!

Still showing £59 at Play.con & £42 at Amazon

Fiver might be a bargain, that’s just a big reduction on massively overpriced eight year old film.

Tom Bombadil that’s a sweet deal!

keep an eye on play.com…. every now and then you’ll find the blu-ray box set for 20squid.

I’ll sell you a couple of dvds from the set (English version in Spanish boxes) for a bargain price. *Crosses finger*

¡Ay, caramba! that’s a sweet deal!

that is for the theatrical version

i am a massive fan so its a bargain to me in glorious Blu Ray!

Does Blu-ray make that much of a difference?

THIS IS THE INTERNET AND I WILL NOT BE PROVED WRONG! I CHALLENGE YOU TO BATTLE! 👿

i’ve got them sitting in the living room but never bothered watching them 😳 for all i know they could be the ‘Dodgy Don Simon Edition’ 😀

I believe the extended edition films are still over two discs, as were the original dvd’s.

Happy to be proven wrong though…

What’s dodgy about “El Señor de los Anillos” “Las dos Torres”?

Nowt wrong with that. 👿

extended edition Blu Rays are over 2 discs

Does Blu-ray make that much of a difference

YES!

Really?

Just finished watching the whole set (spread over a couple of weeks) all three films have been extended with lots of extra scenes added and they have some work on the quality/colour on them, gets my thumbs up.

if you have a good enough tv and if the blu ray transfer has been done well enough then yes (not all blu rays are created equally)

however i have a flash upscaling dvd player and a a poshish blu ray player and the difference isnt that great tbh

Cheers kimbers – never really had a chance to watch a blu-ray. All my mates must be poor you see 😆

I never noticed a great deal of difference in HD telly to normal telly to be honest, well not enough to make me go ‘wow’ anyway.

Still, those Lord of the Rings films are great, I’ll have to dig out the extended dvd editions I’ve got.

Russell96 – have the blu-ray ones got any extra scenes to the extended dvd’s?

Phil – I’ll give you £90 for them??

tell ya wot, dont worry about the 90smackerooonies, jsut give me that transition bikey of yours and the blu-rays are yours x

3p would be a rip off, god its worse than watching anti vandal paint dry

Happily, no-one is forcing you to buy it.

according to imdb?

apparently only the fellowship is a new transfer as the theatrical released bluray version of this was a bit pants, the new version is apaprently overly green in some scenes
