Title: Wait for the extended version! Don't support this kind of double grab marketing!!
Review: There is really no reason for this release to even exist. The theatrical versions could exist as an option in the extended release version. New Line has made us all wait far too long to bring LOTR to BluRay and now they bring us only the theatrical versions because they know some of their fans will buy this and then buy the extended release, just as they did with the DVDs. DON'T DO IT! If you want to buy this, fine, but MAKE SURE you don't buy both! It just encourages studios to squeeze their fans for every last dime and the only way to make them stop is to make the "light" releases like this a big financial flop for them.
