As expected really. We'll probably get the previews at SDCC in July.

I'll be in the air force by the time it's released anyways, and I'm a big fan of bonus material, which this release lacks. Will wait for the EE.

Was hoping we might get a preview of the EE. I do think we'll see that and of course something dealing with DoS at Comic-Con in July. So I plan to camp out the night before the big panel again.

I'm not sure which version I'll go with. I like that Gandalf cover and usually the 3D ones come with the 2D version. If thats the only way to get the digitial version I'll do that. I'm surprised they're not doing multiple covers to be honest.

Thank you for serving! 
I'm going to skip this one, too. Unless there's additional bonus features not being disclosed, it's not worth the price, IMO. All the vlogs are available online (unless they're planning to take them down?). Hopefully the EE has the same amount of behind-the-scenes material as the LOTR ones. I'll happily wait for that.
There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall and the bells in the steeple, too.

Odd choice of covers.
I'd have preferred that Bilbo leaving Bag End teaser as the main cover.
Very odd that Beorn is on a cover as he wasn't in the film.
Bizarre.

I got them all, but sold them after the EEs came out. Haven't decided about TH yet. I am loving the movie less than LotR, but the skip button may work wonders.

...from months back (it even says "Artwork TBA"). It will not be used on any of the Blu-ray/DVD releases. Blu-ray.com just hasn't received the final art for the 1-disc version yet.

The new ones - the 2D cover with Bilbo, Thorin, Gandalf, and a few of the dwarves and the 3D cover with Gandalf are final covers.
But the Beorn cover for the single disc release is months old and not a final design.

...for people that haven't seen them yet or for the collectors that want to own every media neatly packaged. As far as myself goes, they were awesome pre-release hype builders and i loved watching them but that's the past, i dunno if i'll ever watch them again. We'll get much more in-depth featurettes on the SEE that cover much of the same ground and more (at least i hope).

i watched them because i knew they would feel poor and lacking once extended dvds are released.
They are promotional material, for me. Not in depth documentaries.

One of the reasons I wasn't wanting them to be on the blu-ray. They were shot and edited to build up to the film, not to look behind the scenes afterward. I mean, lots of stuff was blurred out because we weren't meant to have seen it at the time. I still think they're great and look forward to the ones for DoS and TABA, but I also want some real documentaries in the same vein as the LOTR ones.

The theatrical editions for those films were the same - promotional material, trailers, etc. It wasn't until the extended cuts that we got more in-depth material.

Watching documentaries with things er dont really see after we have all seen the film is weird.
But like my previous poster says, it was similar with the lotr dvds.

But then, I guess I'd rather have all the good stuff all in one package than to have to buy two copies of the same movie to get all the good bonus material, so it works out.

Specifically ones that talk about the finished film rather than just about the filming and whatnot. Commentaries are generally good for this type of thing. Hopefully we have such great commentaries again!

For people like me that while still having them on computer would love to have super nice hd ones built for tv. I don't know if ill watch the, a ton but I will watch them again. Probably when I get the BR to be honest and especially the comic-con one since I was there for that. I expect the EE to have even more but I'm glad to get these with the TE.
I go back and watch some of the lotr stuff and especially the docs on the EE once in a while just to go back for the sole reason I love the material. I expect I'll do that with The Hobbit.

Besides being able to watch AUJ multiple times (which unlike FOTR I was only able to see once in the theater), I found that the theatrical edition cases made excellent travel cases for the much larger EE releases. So.... when you want to pack up your EE treasures, you can leave the nice cases at home

I am hoping the EE will change the flow of the film adding in more character moments which they felt had to be cut for the super important action scenes like the stone giants , lol.
I think by then i will be ready to watch the film again and get hyped up for DOS.
Not to mention all the extra stuff the EE has that this wont.

However, the average is 120 days so its not terribly early as far as that goes. Plus you have a EE version later in the year so you've got to have space between all three.
