Amazon claims that the Lord Of the Rings films in Blu-ray will be released on April 6th. The theatrical editions, that is. The problem here is, the fans want the extended cuts. What they are saying is the studios are screwing them because in effect they well be making the fans purchase these theatrical editions instead of the extended cuts, as these BR extended cuts won't be out (yet). They are up in arms about this (understandably), and so far there 1700+ one star reviews, against 140 five star reviews (they are obviously not critizising the film, but trying to make a point to the studios).
It appears this situation also occured when the DVDs came out, that is the extended cuts came out way later, when everyone had already purchased the theatrical DVDs. Consequently, this means some people will possibly end up with 4 different copies of the trilogy!
If this really is a matter of making more money, then it is sick indeed. That said, I suppose there could be reasons they aren't releasing the extended cuts now.

Your thoughts on the matter?
