Strange that I already have it in my hands

Lucky, lucky people...I'm waiting for the Extended...

I am too. I bought the theatrical primarily because I wanted the second disc stuff. Since it is different from the EE.

I had to go ahead & get the theatrical, because I don't think I could last until Nov. without RotK. Of course, I could just rent it, but I'm sure the rent money would end up exceeding the cost of the DVD itself . Ah, that's good to know that the documentary on the DVD is different from the stuff on the EE, I hadn't been 100% sure on that.

I know my rental costs would have exceeded the price of the DVD too. That was the other reason I bought it. You know, for someone (meaning myself) so new to Tolkien I'm a little surprised at how much I enjoy his books now.

Me neither! And I have already watched it three times. Of course, when the EE comes out, the theatrical version will be consigned to the shelf to gather dust.

I must say that I was VERY disappointed with the additional material. There was very little there that I had not seen already. I was hoping for more stuff on the making of RotK, but the documentaries just covered the making of the trilogy. And one of them just seemed to be a shorter version of the other. As for the other material, the "shorts" I found rather dull, and once you've seen the film, who wants to see the trailers and TV spots? All in all very poor, I thought.

Well, I guess you can keep the theatrical version as a collector's item .

Although I haven't seen any of the documentaries yet (saving the 'best' [hopefully so] until last), I'm agreeing with you so far. Most of the stuff I've seen is pretty poor, & there was only maybe one or two trailers that actually held my attention. Besides, when practically every one contains the line 'ever path you have tread, through wilderness, through war, has led you to this point', it gets pretty dull after, oh-about the 3rd one. Not to mention the fact that just about all of the trailers contain the same scenes, in different order or not. All in all I really thought the trailers were lame, although the 'supertrailer' was pretty cool. But not cool enough to withstand more than 2 or 3 viewings of it (if that).

Yay!!! I finally got to see the RotK! I had to wait till it came out on dvd (my family doesn't believe in going to Theaters) So my Grandparents invited me over and then gave me the dvd as an early birthday present! It was really good! I loved Pippin's face when sam saw Rosie and the face he made when he caught the bouqet!
