Well this new Limited Edition is coming out on August 29th, 2006 and it has the original theatrical version and the extended edition compiled in the same package. Plus it also includes additional footage and commentaries ... check it out at these two sites::

Are they worth getting?

No becouse The SE and the EE are both on one disk !!!!

That's why it could be worth it ... I heard that they had bad reviews though. But I'd get it just for the extra commentaries and footage anyway.

Thats why the EE are better !

Why is that a bad thing

I really want them but I don't have enough money If I had a job I'd get them straight away. Does anyone know how long they're out for?

I don't care if they have bad reviews. If there's extra footage that hasn't been seen before then I want it. I don't see how it could be bad any Lord of the Rings fan would like footage that hasn't been seen before.

if u buy the EE which are allready out you will see the movie is on two disks for good sound and pic quilty .

Plus u get tones of extres too many i should say . They are cheaper as well now

I already have the extended editions.

I want the limited editions for the unseen footage.

If you have the EE then you dont need anything else but if you want to buy them its up to you

Yes I do because there's unseen footage as I keep saying and I want to see it.

ok cool

Yeah I know that's the only footage but I still want it! (Even though I haven't even watched all the Appendices of the Extended Editions yet it's just kinda a comfort knowing I have footage that I know I can watch whenver if you know what I mean)

I'm sure I read somewhere before though about Peter not wanting to release another thing for ages because of the thing of just doing it for money or something. But this was ages ago so it's very bague in my mind, so I don't know. Or maybe I dreamt it... haha.

They made it so fans can enjoy both versions .

but i think the extended is only good for those who have never read this books, i must admit that i like the books better then the movies

You dont have to read the book if u have the EE

but its not as good as the book because the book is more detailed, maybe it's because it first read th books and then watched the movies

Yes the book is better but it was an impossable job bringing LOTR to life

of course...and I think he has done a great job with Lotr

He did good, although Saurman's death was a bit ho-hum, that and the Balrogs appearance mainly the inclusion of acrtual and not metaphorical wings is always debated. Its weird I love the films and the books, but die hard fans of the book will always list P.J's faults
Glorfindel missing, Dead Army fighting, Elves at Helms Deep, Denethor being shown as an idiot and the above two I mentioned. But to be fair they've made a good trilogy and usually its better to just overlook such problems unless totally nessecary (ie regarding "lore" or LOTR).

You mean they made the best trilogy ever !!

Of course you do. The book is amazing and you imagine it differently and it has this whole different atmosphere. But people obviously don't have to read it if they don't want to, some people are just happy with the film, but the Extended Editions aren't enough to like "substitute" (i didn't know the right word or how to put it lol) for the book, if you know what I mean.

Wow you're behind mate ... I take it that you haven't read the book before and you are utterly convinced that movies and books are totally the same because the world really runs that smoothly and there is no such thing as "publicity" and "money"? *heavy sarcasm*

The book is much better and the films are outstanding . Just saw ROTK EE its much better fills the gaps from the SE

What does SE actually stand for I know you're referring to the Theatrical Edition but it must have another name or something..

The Extended Edition of Return of the King is even more amazing than the Theatrical Edition. I love it so much more with the extra scenes.

SE means Special Eddition

but how can i recognize them? they look almost identic!!!!!! if i wanna buy them how do i know wich is thw new one?

I heard that Greedo shoots first!

very funny ^ what do u mean starlight ?
