Snagged one today at lunch at my local BB. Great deal on one of my top five shows ever.
I doubt I'd have grabbed the eventual BD release anyways. That set is likely to run well into the $300-$400 range.
There was only one version of the Star Wars saga (the individual prequel releases and the original movie box set) that ever came out on DVD, what makes you think they'll dilute their market this time by LOTRing it up?
I think I'll bite at that price. A little over $20/movie plus extras and a full video/audio remaster.
It'll probably be cheaper someday, but I doubt if it'll be by much.
Warning to those who last watched the first movie when they were a teenager or younger, like me--it has NOT aged well, IMO. Rewatching it via rental might be wise before you buy the BD.
Ordered on PS3. I had planned on buying it anyway, but getting it on Mac plus $20 Amazon credit is an amazing deal. I don't even care if the price falls, the first Portal is one of my favorite games ever and I want to support Valve.
