Alrighty then...I buy mine (it's on hold at work right now) the first week of December when we get an employee appreciation of 30% off. After I get it home, I'll check and see if it is okay to copy. I'll PM you when I know and then you can send me your addy at that time if it can be done. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Just buy the cheapest one... special features aren't that important...

LMAO!

yeah...I have the "I'll regret it if I don't get it now" syndrome myself. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Probably why, even with a discount of 20%, I've managed to spend about $500.00 of DVD's since June.

from what I know the LOTR collectors eddition comes with the ability to hold ALL of the LOTR movies when they eventually all come out on DVD... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I decided to do some deep digging to... and i found this!

Personally, I didn't think either version was worth the money because they only have the widescreen format of the movie. I'm not really interested in the two extra discs that have the "outtakes", interviews, and "filming of..." on them and the 30 extra minutes of footage simply wasn't enough incentive for me to watch the movie in that accursed "letter box" format.

You should shop around! My wife bought the Collector's set at BestBuy for $49 last week! That's $20 less than Newline was selling it for.
(Big sigh) She says I have to wait for Christmas before I can open it though.
I hope she's joking.

You really don't like Widescreen?

It took some getting used to, but now, I much prefer it over the "pan and scan" cut for TV versions. Somehow it loses something when they cut off the edges.

Wow!

That was a deal, but unfortunately for me, the nearest Best Buy, or any decent music/video store for that matter, is over an hour away.

Tell her to let you open and watch it now, and that she can wrap the extras that come with it and put them under the tree.
