Title: I whole-heartedly agree. This is a RIP OFF.
Product review: I'm very glad that someone started this process. I'm sick and tired of publishers "double dipping" their products. The big hype about Blu Ray was how it could hold HOURS upon HOURS of movie and audio... so why the &$#@ are we seeing this "theatrical release only" version of LOTR?!?! Where's the extended versions that are out there? I know where they are. There's sitting in the warehouse waiting for the sales of THIS version to drop off- then guess what? They'll pop those out here and ask us to buy them again... and never admitting that they could have fit them onto the same disk they just charged us for.This is nonsense and I urge every LOTR fan to NOT buy this slap in the face, packaged in a Blu Ray box.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
