    I was in chartbusters in swords last night and saw lord of the rings 1 and 2 extended editions, brand new for 19.99 euro each. There were about 15 copies of each, i wanted to pick it up but i've got the normal verisons already

    So? The post is about the Extended Editions, and it's only the Theatrical editions that are in the boxed set.

    Ah, come on, you can't deny that the arse was dragged out of the third one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,125 ✭✭✭Explosive_Cornflake


    Fair enough people may have been happy with them, i'm just not a big fan of the films, but, maybe once i get them to watch in my own personal space i'd be happier. I did think the last half hour of the third was just filler though. 'nuff said. We have our differences.

    Well spotted;)
    The ones on Chartbusters are the 4disc versions mind you. And have commentaries too. Still a good buy from cdwow mind you.

    I think the third 4disc set is out come August.

    You have to realise with these Asian copies, you are only getting 80% of the horizontal definition (PAL=100%) when played back on your Irish tv because they are NTSC format. Red colours tend to look a strange orange colour also.

    There is one further down on tablot st. but i dunno if its generic chartbusters thing or if its just the swords branch.I'm gonna be in town on saturday and monday, i can pick you up whatever you want and you can repay me the money when we meet.Obviously i'd be taking a risk of being screwed over so you got to have good honour ;) i'm gonna pm you my number

    Extended versions, with 4 dvds are 19.99 in Golden Discs in carlow now. Some people are going on about asian dvds in NTSC format etc, All new televisions will play both fine. My whole dvd collection is region 3.

    On a side note, get Kill Bill Region 3 from CD-WOW because its killer.

    Cheers for the offer ronano. I appreciate it. I did however goto cdwow and picked up the 4 disk version for 21 yo-yo's.
