Also looks like The Hobbit page on FB updated profile pic, top header, and posted about the DVD release, as well as tweeted about it. Hopefully soon more things will start coming out?

No rating on the BOFTA material?

I noticed the ratings for AUJ and DOS were displayed during the trailer, but I never saw a rating for BOFTA. I found it strange that they would show the ratings during the preview anyway (and not at the end) but even more surprised when I didn't see any confirmation of the controversial "R" rating?
Thoughts? Did I just miss it?
Also, I'm enticed by the new footage overall. I hope the amount of shots of the Dol guldur showdown indicates that it will be one of the scenes most improved in the new cut?

The Galadriel scene with the Dungeon orc was very poorly edited, clearly there will be more footage there. I also wouldn't be surprised if the re-used footage of Sauron flashes from DOS is replaced with some of the mo-capped BC footage we heard so much about. I personally am hoping the AUJ shot of Radagast is replaced. I hate how little regard they've given the character in DOS and especially BOTFA where he has two lines and is thrown aside with no concern.

As small and relatively insignificant as it is, getting rid of the reused Radagast shot is one of the things I'm hoping for the most in the EE. It's just so...bad.

But not the way I wanted to sadly.  It's just because I think this movie needed at least 30 minutes to fill all the gaps and slow things down a bit, first the news of only 20 minutes, and now the sight of that awful and unneeded addition make me really mad. So mad that now I actually see how horrible I spelled the first post. 
I also hoped for a glimpse of something new from Dol Guldur since it was featured a lot.

It is likely a placeholder for what was originally the Radagast rescuing Beorn sequence, which looks now to not likely be added back in. As a substitute, I'd love them to just insert even a generic shot of Radagast outside Dol Guldur. Anything, its such a weird re-use.
Also odd is the re-use (albeit used in reverse and regraded) of the establishing shot of Dol Guldur from DOS (with the bunny sled removed). Hopefully all of these re-used shots mean this sequence will be heavily altered.

There's some comfort in what seems to be PJ's evidently consistent and enthusiastic determination to feature Legolas as the heroic superman of BOFA, e.g. if walking on air weren't enough, evidently he's taking out an entire legion of orcs while hanging upside down - I suppose it would be *churlish* on my part to wonder why the Durins and Dwalin didn't just start a campfire and toast some marshmallows up on Ravenhill.
Too much is not enough:
Wheeeeeeeeeeee! (and it's OVER 20 MINUTES OF NEW AND EXTENDED SCENES in case you didn't get that, after the 3rd mention of it....)
Still, for me, some promising moments that at least have dwarves . Well, CGI dwarves anyway.
AND OVER 20 MINUTES OF NEW AND EXTENDED SCENES!!!!!

For me, I hope it leads to, somehow:
Because I think the graphic artists were getting material from footage they saw. E.g., for me there's some hope for more "seconds" of dwarf fighting.
And thank you very much BTW for the link!

I was so busy looking at the footage I completely ignored everything said or written on screen. But yeah, it'll be 20 minutes longer and more than 20 mins will be new footage. That is an encouraging thought

Can't wait to hear the new music for Dain's new entrance, hopefully we'll finally hear those bag-pipes in the film. Likewise, I hope the Coronation makes it in, even if only for a minute, and the bag-pipes return.
Hearing the warg music will also tie in nicely to AUJ.

That did get on my nerves. "Over twenty minutes of new scenes!" Yes, I didn't hear that the first time. Or the second time. Please do repeat it again.  I stopped listening to him after that.
I didn't even notice the subtitles at the bottom, though; I was too busy looking for new shots.

I would assume the ending blast of the Erebor theme from "The Clouds Burst" and the opening of "Battle for the Mountain" would cover some of that.

Great analysis thank you, please correct me if I am wrong. buututtt Is aw some potential new scenes....
1. The giant cave troll jumping onto the ice where Thorin fights Agog
2. The Ram charge towards the elves ( my GOD I hope this is like the book where Gandalf uses the thunderclap and stops the fighting)
3. There was a shot of arrows or javelins going through the air and then being dissovled or something?
3. It doesn't look like much of Dol Guldor has changed :( :( well that we can see for this trailer.)

It looks like the elves are going to fire arrows at the dwarves, and the dwarves fire ballistas to knock the arrows out of the sky. How the elves then dodge the falling ballista spears is anyone's guess. Probably create perfect formation gaps which the spears land in.

*Grins* - where have you been Arveldis? - Having too much fun this summer.......
Well, newness - of course there are more elves, and here *sulk* we have precious seconds devoted to a new shot of millions of elves lined up in Dale.....
We've got some potentially promising troll action going on at Erebor:
Bard gets to do some more athletic stuff in Laketown:
And we have some nifty whirly things that seem to handily deal with a volley of elven arrows - I think (never underestimate dwarves....)
So, far as I can tell, it's just enough to be intriguing without spoiling anything juicy.

I wouldn't say "fun," but I've been busy. Expect a reply to that PM in a couple of days. And badger me if I don't keep to that promise.
So, not to be extremely negative, but I'm seeing action, far too much of a troll's rear end, action, and more action. Although those whirly twirly things look pretty neat. Still, I wouldn't mind a few character moments (I know, I know, I'm still beating that dead horse)... Although I can understand the reasoning behind what was shown in that clip: 1) actions gets people interested and 2) it's hard to edit character scenes so that they flow and fit into the context of the trailer. But I'm still hopeful for the EE...

The words 'World Premiere' are on the bottom as it shows a montage of BotFA clips...
But among all of these clips from BotFA is the shot of Smaug entering Erebor from AUJ. Is this just a randomly selected shot or...
Could there be a flashback involving that entrance, perhaps highlighting the giant bell? Apparently Thrain is in the EE somewhere, could this be where? Perhaps it could even be a prologue?
Or its just a random fun explosion shot

I seem to remember predicting Legolas riding upside down on a bat during the battle, sometime around DOS.

OVER 20 MINUTES OF NEW AND EXTENDED SCENES.
Seriously, I am glad there is finally some footage of the EE out for our viewing - in some cases scrutinizing - pleasure though I am not sure how I feel about what I saw in this particular trailer. Okay, I know how I feel about Legolas...I'm still groaning. Why PJ? WHY? Aside from that my feelings are mixed at the moment, because past experience has taught me you can not judge a movie by it's trailer.
