Lord of the Rings Trilogy on Blu-Ray is going to be released in early April, and the current pre-order price is $49.99 at Amazon. At Future Shop, it’s going for $69.99. Considering the old DVD version was selling for $39.99 recently, $49.99 is not bad for the new high definition release. It will ship on April 6, 2010.
There’s a slew of other new Blu-Ray releases coming up too, list available here.
One such release is Battlestar Galactica, the Complete Series, for $149.99 ($219.99 at Future Shop and Best Buy) on Blu-Ray.
Also, Bourne Identity, Bourne Ultimatum and Bourne Supremacy all for $19.99, in a useful format – both DVD and Blu-Ray versions on the same disc. So if you don’t have a Blu-Ray player yet, you can watch the DVD format, but then you’ll have the high-def version when you do have a Blu-Ray player. I wish more videos came out like this…
DO NOT BUY THE BLU RAY LOTR SET YET. Not worth the money. Wait until the Extended Edition Blu Ray comes out. I’ve read many terrible comments about how the company is just tricking you to keep buying the same movie – ie they first came out with the theatrical release and then released the extended later on dvd rather than releasing both at the same time. Made fans buy two copies. There running the same procedure. Trust me, as a lotr fan, you want to wait for the extended edition blu ray. It is much better.
Go to Amazon.com and read the reviews for this… 2000+ 1 star

usually the other way around.
Im not a LOTR fan but I have heard alot of the LOTR geeks really hate this edition with a passion.
Its actually not “usually” the other way around. Quite a few times I’ve seen stuff cheaper at .ca then .com.
As for LOTR, youd have to glue my eyes open and tie me up for me to watch that stuff.
I agree! Wait for the extended edition!
I don’t agree with everything in this post, but you do make some very good points. Im very interested in this topic and I myself do alot of research as well. Either way it was a well thoughtout and nice read so I figured I would leave you a comment. Feel free to check out my website sometime and let me know what you think.
