Perhaps I’m the first person who knows where they will buy the Extended Edition! :eek:

At the Costco at Pentagon City. The weekend it is released.

No intention of buying it, but I will be seeing it in a theater today for the second time. I found _Fellowship_ improved the second time out, so I’m hoping the same holds true for _Towers_.

Still, I only buy DVDs for movies I consider particularly special, and though the LOTR films are well done, I doubt I’ll ever own them. Still, I’m looking forward to _ROTK_.

Our local Wal-Mart must have gotten a bad batch. Mr. Pug exchanged the original one today, and the new disc was just as f\*\*\*ed up. Then he went and bought one at Costco, and that one worked fine. I guess that’s why Wal-Mart was selling them so cheap!

$14.99 at Target (plus, a free 2 liter of 7-Up, and $3 off two packs of batteries that I already had in my cart before I saw the offer).

I will end up buying both editions, just like the last one. My theatrical version came in handy while traveling, I didn’t feel like taking the bulky extended edition with, and I didn’t worry so much about it getting lost or stolen. Plus, the EE comes with the Gollum statue, I like stuff like that.

**pugluvr** Thanks for posting the wal-mart price, iit was cheaper than Best Buy’s this time, and it was a hell of a lot closer to home 😃
