Also if you wanna wait for the EE on blu ray read this
HD-Digest say on LOTR
"Yet, as much as it pains me to say it, this set is still a must own, flawed as it is. The wait for the extended editions will be long, much longer than the films themselves (and that's a difficult task). Critics will state proudly that they'll stick with their DVD editions, and will claim there is no difference between an upscale and this release, but there is more exaggeration than truth in such a statement. Swallow your pride, throw down your hard earned cash, and put 'The Lord of the Rings' in your Blu-ray collection. One can readily and easily upgrade to the extended cuts whenever they decide to arrive on high-def."
