So you want all the extras but you don't care about a longer cut?
A longer cut (of any film) is THE extra.
I hate double dipping as much as anyone, but this is The Lord of the Rings. A (good) film of Tolkien's work has been anticipated for longer than some of us have been alive. I think we can give a little a buy it more than once.
And considering the hundreds of hours of behind the scenes footage that must exists, what's wrong with two whole discs of extras on the four disc set?
My thinking is that the August two disc will have (as we know) the theatrical cut + a disc of extras, and the November four disc will have the extended cut on two discs (with dts since three and a half hours on two discs is one hour, forty-five minutes a disc) and two discs with extras different from the August release. (Maybe something like a six or seven hour documentary spread across both discs)
We get both versions and three whole discs of extras.
