It's up on Amazon, looks awesome. Only 50 minutes of additional footage, tho. Certainly not the 5 hours previously discussed.

of course they're going to release a 3 pack of the EE....and then probably a special edition 3 pack of the EE with more useless footage about the shooting and the special effects....like we haven't seen enough already. Anything to make more money. And then...why not a legacy edition of the special edition of the EE???!? Think it'd sell?

If they subtracted 50 minutes, including 22 of the 23 seperate endings they had in the original version, then maybe it would be watchable.

Added shiznit (SPOILER ALERT)







- Shots of Saruman on top of Orthanc, saying things like "something festers in the heart of middle-earth" , "you are all going to die", " I want no pity or mercy!", saruman shooting flames from his staff (I know this sounds kinda hokey but I thought it looked pretty good)

- Frodo/Sam/Gollum approaching the crossroads. we see sam looking at something and then there is a closeup (pics of which have already appeared online) of the statue's head and it's crown

- frodo/sam in orc costumes marching with orcs, big orc yelling "move on!"

- Merry saying "I know there isn't much hope, I know I can't do much. I'm just a hobbit. But I want to help"

- Mouth of sauron rides out, there is a closeup on his mouth (which looked pretty gross) as he says " I have a token I was bidden to show thee" and then he reveals frodo's mithril vest and throws it down to the ground. then there is a closeup of pippin who says "frodo..."

- Eowyn in bed at edoras, Aragorn is walking away from her but before he can get too far she reaches out and takes his hand.

- eomer grieving for eowyn (seen in theatrical trailer)

- sam in mordor looking at the dark, red lit sky telling mr. frodo that he sees a light.

- aragorn picks up flaming palantir and says something, the only word I caught was "Elendil"

- gandalf riding up to witch king making threats, something about sending it into the abyss, witch king responds with his own threat while his sword becomes enflamed.

- misc. new shots of the siege of gondor, orcs using small battering ram, fell beast swooping in and picking up soldiers

- eowyn fighting gothmog (the one eyed orc captain)

- faramir telling pippin about his childhood, boromir, and his father. pippin says that faramir has " a different kind of strength" and that his father will see it eventually.

- Eowyn and Faramir hold hands and nuzzle at the houses of healing (women in the audience went especially nuts for this scene.)

- aragorn/legolas/gimli run away from an avalanche of skulls in the paths of the dead

I booked myself a copy yesterday. It's the one item I'm most looking forward to at the moment (next to GTA: San Andreas of course).

I'll be getting it for Christmas and I look forward to the day of the Lord of the Rings EE marathon. I've got the popcorn ready.

Just dropping in to notice that there's a teaser trailer up for the extended edition:

http://www.hdr-see.de/

(Scroll down a bit and it's there.)

I personally didn't watch it all the way through since I want to save all of it for the actual release, but that's just me.
