Best price I found was amazon.com - $26 (and free shipping) so I got it there. Very tempting to get it at a store though, to watch it right away.

bestbuy was 24.99 (plus free shipping) + 10.50 coupon for the sequel!!!
ehhehe......i'm buying it today....i had them set aside a copy this AM.
i'm anxious to see it 30 hours of stuff dood.......that should keep us busy.
i'm actually loaning it next week to my bf, cos he's not seen it. so i prolly won't see any of the extras till he's done.
it's ok.....i'm patient, but i'll check out what the packaging has.

Good find!
My friend is buying the "mega-platinum" special edition (or whatever it's called), and I'm going to nick the extra National Geographic Special behind the scenes disc off him to see if it's any good.

hahah.....i thought about getting it. it's $34.99 at bestbuy this week. but i don't want the bookends, and the trading cards but i DO wanna see the National Geo show. the packaging is so bulky and i don't have the room for it, so ....yadda yadda
let me know how it is. =0)
just so you know....every tues bestbuy has all the new dvd's that are released at really great prices through saturday of that same week. they have free shipping and no minimum number of stuff to buy. PLUS if you order on line you get sent 5 dollar coupons to use on your next on-line purchase.
as my bf says.....best buy......worst service!

I watched the director's cut last night. It's even better for fans of Tolkien. Even so, it was probably a good idea that the extra scenes were cut for the regular release, except for the gifting scene at Lothlorien. Some of the gifts are pretty important in the rest of the story, so I wonder how they will explain them later.
The credits were insane. 5 minutes of "real" credits and 20 minutes of "fan credits." ok...
Now onto the extras ... :-)

some of my dvd's pause when the dvd is switching layers I think? it says that on most dvds, but this is WAY BEYOND just a slight pause! my dvd player basicly chokes and you can hear it stop and then go again! it happens more then once with me and when I got this new one I went straight to the chapter (it's actually chapter 12 not 13) and it paused in the same place.

That pause is normal, it's the transition between layers on the discs. There should be one pause on each disc. On some players it's more noticeable than others. Mine is worse than some other discs that I have, but not too bad.

Yeah that's one of my favourite characters too! Bombadil Tom is a cool guy.
Ad they also left out the things what happened after they left Bombadil. The hobbits were trapped in some kind of tombs. Then theycalled for Tom, and he saved them. THat was the place where Merry picked up that sword which will kill the Nazgul boss (in RotG). How will Jackson explain it I have no idea. The hobbits only have regular swords now, what they got from the Strider.
We will see in one year. That's not a long time if you consider the Earth is some billion years old. :-)

There are ancient kings buried in the tomb, who vowed to kill the Witchmaster (boss of nazguls). THey even had the magic sword which can do the task, since ordinary weapons can't harm those shadow kings.
Merry gets one of those swords.
Pretty creepy stuff, eh? :)
