I pre-ordered the star wars dvds for a friends birthday from Amazon.com. I had them sent to his house, next day mail. He got them the day they came out. It was only a few dollars more to have them sent next day. If I had sent them regular mail he would have got them the day after they came out. So no waiting in line to buy the dvds and he was so excited to get them at his house the day everyone else got theirs. Amazon is really good about doing that. |

I'm thinking I'm just going to get my copy from the shop on the day it comes out. You never have to queue for anything around here. If I'm being lazy I'll get it from Woolworths, as they're just around the corner from my house. If I'm being frugal I'll go into town and go to HMV, since I'll get 10% off there for being a student. Then you won't see me for the rest of the day.

Glad to know that about amazon. I don't mind getting it the day after, just not weeks after. As for Woolworth, we don't have them anymore (sigh). I am setting aside friday afternoon, the kids get out of school early, I have a coupon to order pizza and by the time hubby gets home from work we will have watched Fellowship and Two Towers and be ready to watch Rotk when he gets home. Beer on ice, pizza in hand and no inlaws had better want to call and chat that night 'cause all they'll get is the answering machine!

The day the last Harry Potter DVD came out I strolled into WalMart (that place normally gives me the whillies) and picked up one cheap. The few things I've ordered from Amazon before release have always come quite promptly, day of or day after. Plus you can order now and not worry about it.
My hub has been getting me LOTR DVD's for Christmas; I think I will have to wait until then to own one (although I will definately borrow one before then).

There is a review of ROTK EE on TORN.net!
http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/2/1098845508
It does contain some spoilers, but very few details. Those familiar with the books will easily be able to imagine some of the scenes which are replaced from what is said here. Also the writer talks about those characters whose rolls are enlarged with new scenes.
It was very encouraging. The writer said the new film is way "superior" to the theater release.
If you don't want to read it, but have a specific question, you can PM me or ask on this thread.
Nancy, finding it harder to wait, now
