Now that New Line has shifted into exclusive Blu territory, it means that they won't be tempted to master Lord of the Rings for 30GB and 33% less bandwidth... they can go full throttle and optimize for BD with 50GB, transparent high-bit-rate video, 24-bit lossless sound, PIP, with room to spare for extras in 1080p. Let's hope they do.
But...
Some have suspected that New Line might try to double-dip by releasing the theatrical cuts in HD first, then later the extended cuts.
If they did this, how many of you would buy the theatrical version first just to have it in 1080p? How many would wait for the extended cut?
Naturally we're all hoping we get the extended cut the first time around, but just in case we don't, I'm curious to know what you'd do.
