The Lord of the Rings Blu Ray Boxed Set!

Last night I bought my first Blu Ray player. I bought off Ebay.

Yes, I know I'm late in the game. I still have my standard DVD player. Why did I break down and get a Blu Ray? Two reasons. First, I've noticed that the most recent movies do not come with features on standard DVDs anymore. Only the Blu ray DVDs have all of the features i want, commentaries, documentaries, behind the scenes features, etc. Second, Now that Christmas is past there will be great sales - and since The Hobbit trailer is out my interest in all things LOTR has been freshly renewed (as if it ever went away) and I want the huge Blu Ray extended edition, which as EXTRA documentaries by Costa Botes.

I never did get around to buying these extra documentaries on all three films when they first came out on DVD so it will be great to have them on this super boxed set.

I plan to go out to Walmart today and see how much the grand boxed set costs. If it is comparable to the price I saw on Amazon, I'll buy it from them today.

The latest Star Wars Blu ray boxed set is out but from what I'm reading of the reviews, it's missing a lot of essential documentaries. I'm going to wait on that until i see The Whole Enchilada!

When it comes to DVD boxed sets, George Lucas needs to follow Peter Jackson's lead.
