Sounds like these are gonna be the definitive demo discs then? So hyped, glad I pre-ordered the steel book edition. Been wanting to rewatch these for 6 months now, I'm so glad I waited it out for this release.
Nah from what I remember reading it was a mistake. Something involving the white color balance being thrown off during encoding, I think?
EDIT: Oh and wanted to chime in that those pics look great. Lets hope any DNR is kept to a minimum.
Speaking of the Ultimate edition, it would be hilarious if the new bonus content is a secretly filmed Tom Bombadil scene that Peter and co have kept in the vault up until now.
Would it include the hobbits running around naked
Wait, was Tom naked, too? Been a good number of years since I've read the books. lol
So hyped for these, glad I pre-ordered the steelbook set.
It's disappointing the PS5 doesn't have Dolby Vision support as i'll be watching these on an LG CX, hopefully they should still be great though.

He wasn't naked no, but he did give off swinger vibes, so who knows what mischief him and Goldberry got up to. Probably why Gandalf was so eager to see him after the war.
Sony's DV support even on their 4k bluray players is wonky at best so I wouldn't expect too much from it.
I might cancel my order and just watch the iTunes versions for now, then get the ultimate edition next year. Quality won't be quite as good, but at least I'll get to utilize Dolby Vision.
No I don't have any plans to use the digital copies so you're welcome to them.
And as someone that saw Fellowship 7 times in the theater, the snow wasn't teal in the theatrical releases either, nor is it native even to the EE. And I saw the FOTR EE in the theater for time #7 on Trilogy Tuesday, along with the TTT EEE and ROTK.
Wish the shiny version of this wasn't all the way to next summer.
Yeah, I watched the Extended Edition of Fellowship on DVD every day of winter break when I was 12. So it was pretty weird seeing the Extended Editions on Blu-ray and immediately noticing that it didn't look anywhere near what I remembered. Put the DVDs in and it was so obvious.
Can't wait until summer too. Not that I necessarily expect I'll watch the appendices again.
it's incredible:

Next year, even bigger sets will arrive. But these combined 15 discs are plenty.

I still have no interest in revisiting the Hobbit movies, however. Making them look better is just putting lipstick on a leprous pig.
Are these still only the collector editions? Is that maybe the reason the price is $90?
I just want the movies, but can wait on a deal too (see my avatar)
My guess is because it's 9 disks and it took a lot of work to restore.
The standard version (non-steelbook) coming out Dec 1 will be the cheapest set as far as we know. In the summer there will be a more expensive collector's version.
I with there was a standard version similar to the previous bluray set that didn't include the theatricals and was cheaper. But I'll take what I can get.
Man, I REALLY would want to get these for christmas to feed my new PS5 but I'd prolly regret it if the ultimate edition has all the extra materials and possibly even something new.
I might cave tho and just watch any extra materials online if needed. Urgh.

i usually give away all my codes in this thread for free https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-...dont-want-the-digital-code-give-away-ot.7839/
i have a bunch from the 4k movies ive got over the last few months i need to give away.
Sony had slowly shaped it to their shifting purposes, and made it better, as they thought, being deceived - for all those arts and subtle devices for which they forsook their former wisdom, and which fondly they imagined were their own, came but from Mordor; so that what they made was naught, only a little copy, a child's model or a slave's flattery, of that vast fortress, armoury prison, furnace of great power, Barad-dûr, The Dark Tower, which suffered no rival, and laughed at flattery, biding it's time, secure in its pride and its immeasurable strength.
the hobbit is literally the definition of a prequel. release order is pretty much meaningless in this scenario.
Unlike most people I actually enjoyed first hobbit film and second one to lesser extent .
As I've said in other threads, the EE of the third Hobbit film makes it watchable. Still not GOOD, mind you, but not the train wreck the theatrical cut was.
The first one was for sure a decent movie. The second one was alright but had quite a few questionable scenes and unnecessary ones. Third one I couldn't stand.
I'm assuming they're referring to the fact that the PS5 doesn't do Dolby Vision.
This is all I remember about the third hobbit film (extended first hobbit otoh I love (mainly the added songs for the dwarves)
Absolutely. I'm new to 4k/uhd bluray, but my understanding is DV is just a little bit nicer than normal in terms of colors and whatnot. I'm sure it will look incredible either way.

Recently watched the first two with my brother in law since he'd never seen them. I am trying to avoid watching BotFA at all costs.
I would sooner burn the house down than watch it, tbh.
Biggest mistake with the Hobbit was trying to force LOTR tone onto it when the LOTR was purposefully darker in tone than the hobbit.
