Garr. If they had bothered to put the extras on blu ray then it would not need to be a jumbo!

I take back what I said. If they're indeed doing 3D (why now though? this is such a weird time!) then they would have to do a jumbo. which is bad news.

 

[Menouthis]

I don't mind jumbo. As long as they make all 3 jumbo. Don't do it like The Walking Dead where the first 2 are normal and the later 2 are jumbo.

The 3D has got to be an error. I doubt it's actually 3D. Probably the same 2 Blu-ray discs and 3 DVD's. Though it's technically possible it could be a 5 disc set with 2 3D Blu-ray's and 2 normal Blu-rays and 1 extras Blu-ray I think we would have heard about a conversion process being worked on for the trilogy. The really good 3D conversions tend to take about one year at a minimum (such as Jurassic Park, Titanic, Wizard of Oz) so I don't know... but would be pleasantly surprised if it turns out they have been working on it.

2 blu rays for the film and 3 dvds for the extras !

The film is on 2 discs. It would make 4 discs only for the 3D and 2D discs. So just 1 for the extras ? No chance

Oh really? I might just be wanting a bagel with my coffee.

I'll probably get stoned to death for saying it, but I don't really mind jumbos.

Will be getting all three of these. I just hope they don't put those tacky film reels / screenshot things in the back.

 

[zesty]

Lets hope they don't just go green with the back and use the DVD art

I just bought the extended edition of the 3x parts of LOTR in amaray. So i dont bother about this release.

 

[cooey]

Might have to go for these

 

[justboy]

I wasnt expecting these to be 3D, but as it's a jumbo its a definite pass.

 

[bigrob]

Personally i think the 3D is an error

Hoping to get the 15 disc Extended boxset for Xmas so I'll pass on these

Those look amazing. Even though they've already done it, they'd be infinitely better than this:

Or any type of scene from the movie would look really out of place on the back IMO. I wonder if Amazon JP will have those book sleeve editions, because what they did with the Hobbit Extended was great... Turned out being one of my favourite purchases this year.

If its 3d then yes, otherwise nope

3D Must be 3D Conversion they were talking about back in 2011

I never heard anything official they had completed this or it happened
Will wait till we get 100% confirmation on disc details

This could just be a mock up done and a mistake showing 3D Logo

 

[bigrob]

I'm doubting this is 3D now for the following reasons

There hasn't been ANY news about a 3D conversion of this.

It's 5 discs. 2 discs for the extended feature, 2 DVD's for the Appendices and the extra DVD with the B roll footage. If it was 3D, it would be 7 discs

Maybe there putting the extras on Blu ray for the first time?

 

[bigrob]

If it was a brand new 3D version, it would of had a theatrical release like Lion King, Titanic and Jurassic Park did

Also, it wouldn't be limited to a single Steelbook release in the UK. This would of been announced by the studios if it was 3D and released worldwide

Don't get your hopes up people

 

[ben6212]

That still could happen?
