Just when you thought . . .

So, think you've got all the Lord of the Rings DVDs you can handle? Well, the quest for even more sales has spawned yet another edition . . .

Over at Amazon you can pre-order this "limited edition" DVD set:
For the first time, the Theatrical and Extended versions of each film are on one disc! This 2-sided DVD puts both versions of the epic film on one convenient, portable disc. You can choose which version you'd like to see from the main DVD menu
If you don't have any editions whatsoever, this might be a good move for you. Otherwise, this is a total ripoff and a great example of the kinda stuff I hate to see.

There are now so many different specialized individual packages of this and other enjoyable movies to make collecting a futile effort. You can't possibly have all of these without spending hundreds of dollars and having sets that are only minutely different from one another.

I say stick with one and to heck with all the rest. In the end, the ring makes it into the fire regardless of what packaging you purchased.
