4 disc sets compared to 2 discs, on average, 45 minutes of extra footage for each movie, director commentaries which are key, and a ton of special features.

Get them used, if you can.

Extended > 2 disc version hands down!

extended versions all the way

extended edition hands down

Extended edition by far.

^^ What they all said.

ive got the extended trilogy and it RULES!!!

Yes, once you go extended edition, you never go back. Great special features, all those cut scenes, brings the actual movie to roughly 4 hours. I got it, and consider it great value and quality.

it took me 12 hours to watch the LOTR extended trilogy as 1. the annoying thing is is that each movie is split up into 2 disks/parts. thats the only reason im giving it 9/10 instead of 10/10

I plan to watch all 3 tommorow

I am almost afriad to watch this dvd or buy it.Being that the movies were such a disapointment to me.JM

you've gotta be kidding

Extended you get a basically 4 hour movie and you get like 10 hours of documentary and special features.

Yes, quality production, quality product, a good addition to any collection. I would say "a must have", but I wont. Well actually I just did, but eh.

I also have the EE well... only for FotR, RotK but i think its GREAT!!

Your a moron. Are you trying to act independent?

All of mine were purchased new at about $25 each. Not too bad considering they're being sold for $50 in some stores.

Hollywood Video is trying to pawn them off at @ $40, which they will never sell. I got FOTR, and ROTK for $22, and TTT for $25, all about 3 weeks ago when they had them on sale at Best Buy.

extended versions are definatly better

Holy crap $40? I'd never pay that much. In fact, 90% of the time I wouldn't pay that much for ANY dvd. Unless it was seasons of a tv show. But yeah $22 isn't bad at all.

I felt that every LOTR movie was too long, boring and repetative; I fell asleep when I saw it again on DVD; BUT there is only one way to see ROTK and fully enjoy it: the EE!

It's an absolute must that you see the EE of this

im yet to get ne of EE so im stuck with the normal edtions of all 3 ...

May aswell spend the few more dollars. (or pounds in your case)
You pay for what you get.
