are some people really that inclined to buy these...?!?!?
i get the Star Wars rereleases (especially this time around - the originals), but LOTR, will not everyfan already have the 4 disc sets or if not just the standard 2 disc releases... (i have the sets with the statues / models
)
extras schmextras...
this is nothing new for the fans, its just the money, how many 'casual' (i.e not hardcore) collectors buy every verion or updated verions of movies... does the LOTR movies have the follwoing Star Wars has??? (its big, but how big, i think New Line are taking the biss)
i mean, i love buying DVD's and bought the Alien Legacy box set when it came out (cost me £69.99) then they released the Quadrilogy (is that even a word?) a few years later and i wasn't gonna go buy that - even if it did contain some different versions, because i'm not
that much of a fan... i like the movies and will watch them, but not enough to go out and spend another £70+ on a different box set (and now you can get the Alien Head version for just £49.99 in HMV - which is tempting as it looks cool...) but i have the movies already...and this is the same with LOTR...imo
but back to Star Wars, i am a very big SW fan so will buy the DVDs in September even though i have 'like' versions already on VHS & DVD... i suppose some people will succumb like I will with the Wars, but its too soon for a new version of the rings yet.
