I will wait til December for the extended cut.

That's pretty fast from theater to disc. I still have been too busy to see it. I suck.

Alternative artwork for the Blu.

Strange, I didn't notice any bears in the first part.

The Battle of Five Armies.

It will probably be along the scale of Helm's Deep, not Minas Tirith.

Really? And with what content will he fill the third part?
I thought the second part is only about the capture of Smaug and the third the concluding with the final battle. I am confused.

March seems pretty early for a Blu/dvd release. Some weird cover art as well lol

For the LOTR I bought both the theatrical and extended editions. U gotta have them both. I will be doing the same thing for The Hobbit.

Spoiler Below

There will be an entire trek through a forest, running into giant spiders, running into wood elves, and finally Smaug.

I'm guessing the final will be the stand off between the people who live near the mountain wanting the Dwarves' gold, the battle of five armies, the trek back to Hobbiton, and some sort of bridge between Hobbit and LOTR.

A hell of a lot more happens in the Hobbit than people give it credit for.

The first film was only 6 chapters of 19.

You misunderstood me, I didn't say that the 2nd film would have a giant battle, but the entire series would only have one.

This isn't Lord of the Rings, its the Hobbit. It isn't as epic. Gotta get used to that.

Already did.

The special features of the upcoming Blu-ray are kinda looking poor compared to the tons of the LOTR ones. For instance, all videoblogs are included, but those are already known and not very substantial imo.

I guess they release for the average joe, but a majority of us will wait for the SUPER DUPER MEGA COMBINED KAIJU edition....At least I will.

[The Revelator]

I'll probably buy every version that's released. Just like I did with LOTR.
