definitely count on them to go a triple dip on this one since blu-ray will hold all the more extra bloat. Probably a 25gig disc for starters, then a year later we'll get the extended edition on bd-50.
Anyways I already have the trilogy at 1080p from emule and usenet (over 20gigs each so that will have to do for now)

Well.. as back catalog titles go at least these are worthy of a good HD release.

No chance they will be on single layer BD (wouldn't fit) but I do expect the first release to be theatrical release and then in 2010 the extended cuts (the ones everybody wants).

Nice, something to consider when I shell out for a player.
If only Microsoft could somehow get the rights to develop a blu-ray player addon.

They could also do the same thing they did with their latest release of the DVD's: both versions (theatrical and extended) on the same disc with seamless branching - you get to choose which version you want at the start of the film and the seamless branching feature takes care of which scenes are shown.

Yay, now I can see a super sharp picture of intense close-ups of hobbits babbling and crying over a every little thing. Can't wait!

Been looking forward to this release on BD! I just hope they put both the theatrical and extended cuts on there, with seamless branching. That would be just perfect.

Just like a warm Coke with no Fizz will satisfy your thirst. I would rather have the best possible.

I am actually looking forward to this release. Not many movies out there are worth the extra cost of Blu-Ray, but I think this is one of them. My gentle opinion of course.
