I have bought and will continue to buy both versions of these films. I will likely have them till the day I die, and the extra cost of ~$17(TC store price on release) is little in the long run. I've spent more on movies that were not nearly as good.

Another reason reason to get both sets is that there are some good features on the original set that aren't on the extended set. In fact, none of the features from the first set are on the extended edition. Just to name two things that are on the first set only: Theatrical trailers and Enya video for "May it Be".

Sorry, I'm in the camp that maybe watches the extras on DVD once and that's it. In fact, if there would have been a 2-disc release of the Extended Edition (without any extras), I'd have opted for that instead of the 4 disc set.

I'm with John... and I watch Director's and Extended cuts (save Army of Darkness) FAR more than I watch theatrical cuts...
Sign me up for the EE when it arrives. I managed to avoid the original LotR, and it saved me 20 bucks, and I spent that on a disc that I watched in the meantime.

I'll buy both, waiting until June/August is long enough, why wait until November when I don't need to. Most likely BB will have it for $16 or so, small potatoes for one of the best fantasy movies ever.
Peace Out~

If they had a super Collector's edition that had the EE and the original I'd go that route but since they didn't with the first I doubt the next one will so I'll end up getting both.
Besides I bet that 2 disc reversion will be available for around $14 dollars. Since it will probably have some extras that aren't on the EE it really isn't a tough choice for me to buy both.

I'll probably rent the first and buy the 2nd. Unless, like LOTR, Blockbuster runs their $20 coupon for 10 rentals and get TTT free. I'll jump on that.

Well, something more official now.
According to DVD Review magazine (a magazine in the UK), we'll see it on June 30th.
Quote:
We're thrilled to reveal the release date of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on British DVD! Entertainment in Video tells us the middle chapter of Peter Jackson’s phenomenally popular epic will be provisionally available to buy on 30 June.
Late June will see the 179-minute theatrical cut arrive on a two-disc set. As part of its raft of extras, which stands to include mini internet documentaries and television specials, it may even carry a preview of the third and final installment, The Return of the Kind, in UK cinemas this December.
The main DVD event for The Two Towers will happen in late 2003. A stunning four-disc extended version is tipped for release in November. Anticipate more thrilling, romantic and funny scenes between the huge ensemble of heroes and villains. Prepare yourself for exclusive documentaries charting the 600 effects shots from start to finish, the amazing production designs by Weta Workshop craftspeople and spotlights on the groundbreaking, completely CGI’d characters of Treebeard and Gollum, the treacherous yet sympathetic creature who stole the show for many”

Any word if there will be a Collectors Gift set that contains something like the book ends that were in the first one?
If they do make new book ends how about the two towers?

Ditto. I would not own the theatrical one if it hadn't been for that deal. To me that deal is a steal. I get 10 rentals for less than the full rate, and I get a free DVD besides. Since I'd use the 10 rentals anyway, why not. |

It would bring me great joy to watch Fellowship EE and Two Towers EE on some Saturday night in the (relatively) near future.
I too plan to buy both editions. I'll get the standard edition, and the extended with whatever hoo-hah they include in the super-deluxe box.
