Looks good! ...just hoping that blue banner is a J Card.

Hold up, is this a 3D Bluray ONLY!?

 

[karl01]

will it be a jumbo like UK?

 

[Konflick]

If this is proper steelbook then im in

 

[merowinger]

mhhh... i dont like the cover ;( i hope germany will get there own release with another cover

 

[Drum18]

will it be a jumbo like UK?

When you look at the blu banner (which I hope is on the J-Card), it's only saying Blu-Ray 3D + Digital copy, so could that means only 2-3 disc?

The UK edition lists 5 discs...

 

[Konflick]

Just 3D version? No 2D????

 

[SilverBlade]

Is there a 2D disc with this?

 

[frankfish44]

I think it is possible the 3D disc has the 2D version as well. Odd to eliminate a huge portion of the buying base by making it 3D only. My guess is 3D/2D

As the other LOTR extended editions were anywhere from 3.5-4.5 hours and needed 2 discs each, I heavily doubt that the same disc can hold both movies..just because of their length.

I think that would be dependent on the type of disc used. In mid 2010 I think, 100GB blu ray disc was announced to be coming. This doubled the capacity from the max at the time 50GB. It is possible to have both on the same disc with the improved capacity. While 3D adoption is growing, a vast majority of homes can only support 2D. Alienating the 2D viewer base could be disastrous IMO

That brings up another question: Can today's blu-ray players (including the PS3) even support reading those 100GB Blu-ray discs...?

I'm not sure but on Future Shop website, they removed the "Future Shop Exclusive" in the description...



(still present in the web adress... but still...)

 

[sirdizzy]

Well crap I might have to consider this.

 

[Drum18]

(October 24, 2013): Price at the moment is 34.99$+taxes.

 

[Choi Chungkwon]

UK Hobbit extended edition could be jumbo because it contains 5 disc.

how about FS ? same as 5 disc ?

 

[Drum18]

4 disc = maybe a regular and NOT Jumbo!!!
