Retailers including Amazon.com have begun taking pre-orders for New Line Home Cinema's upcoming Blu-ray release for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

According to Amazon, the Blu-ray set will only include the theatrical versions of the three films (The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and Return of the King) and not the fan favorite extended editions. It will also include bonus materials and extra features, though no details have been revealed as of yet.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Blu-ray set has been priced at $69.99. New Line has yet to give a release date, though we expect it will hit stores sometime this holiday season. Keep those fingers crossed that the first trailer for The Hobbit will be included as bonus content.

    They'll release the extended versions like a year from now to make money.  They could just release standard and extended versions for different prices but what company now-a-days likes to actually give the consumer a real choice when you can just play on our "must have" mentality and rake us over the coals for it?

    yeah, ive got the lot on extended DVD so i`d not buy this unless they had extended films again plus more deleted scenes & making of`s etc that were not included on the dvd versions. Oh & some meaty stuff about the hobbit would be sweet too.

    No extended edition, no buy from me. I already own the extended version box set on dvd. Really no point for me to buy this one.

    Only the extended versions for me.  I already got duped  into getting both the theatrical and extended on DVD.  This time, I wait.  By the way, Star Wars is dead.  And it STARTED with Return of the Jedi.

    No Extended Version = FAIL

    I'll stick with the upconversions of my DVDs.

     I won't buy it until they do extended versions cause i can see it now. 

    Go spend a fortune on that box set, couple of weeks down the line they announce a extended version set.

    • 8:16pm BST - April 18th, 2009

    I would rather buy the extended version as those are the ones that i'm used to.

    • 9:03pm BST - April 18th, 2009

    I have no interest in the theatrical versions, so no buy for me.

    • 3:29pm BST - April 19th, 2009

    Extended version for me, please. I already did the buy-regular-edition-then-trade-for-extended-edition thing with the DVDs. Not gonna happen again.

    • 7:35pm BST - April 19th, 2009

    In all honesty, I really only liked fellowship. I gradually lost interest over the course of the other 2 films, although I did watch them.
