So is the story up yet at IGN?

IGN DVD has never charged for news.

Now, now, settle down. I think he was just referring to all the ads and the way you have to go to a page before going to some stories. In that sense, IGN is getting money for ads and time. I believe that was all he meant and he was just kidding around anyway, so no need to start calling each other names.

This is for the initial August release?

Wonderful! Thanks, Jeremy.
Am I seeing those keepcases correctly? Are they green? Interesting. I've never seen anything like that before.

Street Date 8/6

MSRP $29.95

Thanks! Now I can go to bed finally. G'night!

 

[Timothy Alexander]

COOL! And I thought the August DVD would just be movie-only and then the big special edition in November.

 

[Ricardo C]

Ah, at last
*marks August 6th on his calendar*
I'm grinning like a moron lol

 

[Tomoko Noguchi]

I'm digging out my credit card ready for battle.

[Jeremy Conrad]

The November edition will include an extended cut of the movie with approximately a half-hour of additional scenes (which would earn the film an R rating),

Didn't Peter Jackson say that the whole "R rating" thing was total BS?

 

[Jim_C]

Any word yet on Dolby Digital, DTS, 5.1, 6.1? How about commentary tracks?

 

[Nick Sievers]

I recall PJ saying that the extra footage included in the longer cut would only be "drama" and that he knew from the start he would be turning in a PG-13 film and there was no time to film things that would definately be cut.

Is there any information on the audio tracks that will be included on this release?

Jim,

I remember reading that PJ did record a commentary for the "extended cut", but I'm not sure about the August release.

 

[Malcolm R]

Didn't Peter Jackson say that the whole "R rating" thing was total BS?

It usually is.
Edit: Oh, I see. That the existence of an "R-rated" version is BS? OK. We'll save the MPAA rant for another day.

 

[BrianShort]

I'll be renting this one. Looks like a nice package though but I dont see the point in buying this version when the extended cut is coming out a mere 3 months later.
Brian

 

[Martin Fontaine]

I'll be renting this one.

And what if the place you rent "considers you too educated to get your business"? If you know what I mean

 

[Kelly W]

The November edition will include an extended cut of the movie...

The big question I wanted answered was whether the November version will include the theatrical cut IN ADDITION to the extended cut. Do we know the answer to this already?
I just want to figure out if I'll be buying both versions of just the one in November.
-Kelly

 

[MichaelZema]

are the extras going to be the same for both discs? is the only difference between the two an extended version? if it is, ill be buying it in august.
