Purchase intentions for LOTR

If the EE versions are coming within a year I'll wait for those. No disrespect to the TR but I really like the EE versions.

I will wait for both BD and HD-DVD EE versions, and choose the one with the best overall package - AQ, PQ, Extras, the whole shebang.

Hold on.

LotR is coming on Total HD so it may be an impossibility to purchase just a HD DVD or Blu-ray version.

I want each one:

1.) on its own 50GB blu-ray disc
2.) extras on the same disc
3.) seemless branching between theatrical and extended
4.) DTS or better sound

I will be waiting. The Extended Cut of the films are the only version in my eyes.

I'll buy both, but hopefully they'll have both on the same release via seamless branching. And on the TotalHD side of things; I will not buy it if it's a damn flipper disc.

You do realize any disc with HD DVD/BD on it together will cost as much or more as a separate version??

There is no way Sony or Toshiba would allow any undercuuting of prices...A TotalHD disc would be just another choice it would not mean a lower price.....

Where's the option for I wouldn't buy that crap

Where is the option for "Not going to buy LOTR" ?

It is a little red X at the top right of your browser...

If I get a BD player before LoTR drops, I'll decide on it based on which is the better version.

Otherwise, I'll vote HD DVD for now.

I will be getting both, and I didn't vote because there's no option for both but undecided on format.

Someone know someone at New Line who can see this poll? Please?

I would love to give New Line some love for finally getting involved but thanks, NO Thanks on the theatrical editions. I'll just wait....

So far no titles have been announced on Total HD, let alone the LOTR trilogy.

I am not entirely convinced that Warner or any other studio will publish those things after seeing the general feedback from both BD and HD buyers.

As for LOTR trilogy, I would try to get both versions.

Just wanted to say hi before I read more of the past threads. Looks like there are some crazy people here. ;0) lol Bye

Extended editions of movies that were already an hour too long? No thanks, I'll pass. Put me down in a new category - best transfer @ the cheapest price whether that's BD or HD-DVD.

I've never seen the EE versions so I'd most probably wait for that. Also, I'd wait for feedback on the IQ and if it sucks then it'll be just a rental.

I agree, waiting for a single disc option, format does not matter

Where are the options for EE if under $20?

Well I chose the last one. Although I'd like to wait for the EEs I know the reveiws will be so good that ill end up buying them...

I've only got the EE of the first on DVD and 2,3 are the theatrcail. So prehapps I use that as and excuse...

I will wait for EE of LOTR on HD DVD (or total HD). Either way, I do not want the theatrical cuts.

Wow - a pretty clear win in term of HD DVD.

168 HD DVD votes versus only 62 Bluray votes, with 201 people so far.

That's almost 75% !

Is that really a surprise?

This forum is heavily HD DVD biased.

That makes sense.

It is arguably the most informed consumer group on the internet.

I can rant all I want, but in reality, I love LOTR too much to not get the theatrical+ee BD versions on top of what I am already watching today. I'll have to get both.

LOTR on HD DVD? Anytime!

Theatrical? EE? I don't care, I take them all. I prefer the theatrical version of The Two Towers but I own them all on DVD and would gladly replace them.

hey no option for those that will only rent???
