Needles & Grooves

They still make dvds? All of them are on HBO Max tho

Don't have HBO max and they took them off netflix so I just want to get them on blu-ray and not worry about internet lol

They have extended on blu, they also have 4K on extended too. I’m considering selling my blu extended to get 4K. Hit me up if that’s something you’re interested in.

@Delta Don they're coming out with the extended 4k with all the extras this summer. So wait if you care about that. I went the digital route for 4k and it's great

I care but my fanatic friend will get it. I’ll only care if there are 4K deleted scenes that are added into the extended versions. Other than that I can see them once at his house and be fine

@Delta Don are you thinking about a price for all 3?

There are some versions on Target that I may get on the sale but I can't recognize if they are the extended or theatrical

The version coming out this summer is Peter Jackson's "remaster" that he completed in 2020. A large part of the work was to transition the analog appearance of TLOTR films to align with the digital look of The Hobbit films. Early reviews are very negative, the soul of the movies has been stripped away. Avoid the new version

This is the one I'd recommend Amazon product ASIN B007ZQAKHU

Also, if you are looking for a version of The Hobbit that won't insult your intelligence, I know of a fantastic edit that keeps the story as close to the original text as possible, and breaks the Dol Goldur subplot off into a standalone short film. If you're interested I can send you the link

@CAPacelli that sound cool! If you have the link, feel free to send it to my DM

@Crabbers Dvds and blu rays are once again the way of the future! Time is circular.

@CAPacelli this is the boxset I have and it's the essential one.

I have this one...

Amazon product ASIN B007ZQAKHU

It's good. I'm upgrading to a 4K TV soon though and thinking about the LOTR and Hobbit 4k sets.

weird...I'm not seeing my Amazon link.

For The Hobbit, I have the 3 separate 3D Extended cut releases.

For those wanting to go with the 4K set - even with the visual changes, I'd hold off...a more complete collection is planned for release in 2021 with brand-new bonus content.

@ThePakoBuelna the two links posted are what I have. It’s the blu trilogy extended cut in a gold box. Each movie with its own case inside said box.

also anyone who streams it is probably getting 2000p resolution. Services compress the media.
Physical media matters.

@LeeVing swe my original post about the ultimate release coming.

also if you have 4K device, watch a comparison video on lotr blu to 4K comparison. Some instances had them removing a blue or green filter on the scenes. It’s very interesting
