Amazon user backlash against Lord of the Rings blu-ray preorder

Looking over at the the Amazon pre-release Blu-ray section it’s going to be a very exciting  summer for geeks. Classic moves like Ghostbusters and Spaceballs will be making their way onto Blu-ray  and more excitingly there is also a new page, with no release date, for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy Blu-ray edition! The problem? It’s the theatrical version. As a person who owns the Trilogy twice I’m a bit angry that New Line aren’t just going to release a complete set, like they already have on DVD, but are going to attempt to sell the movies to fans twice….. again. The Amazon community is up in arms about this and are begging the company to give us the complete product we want. It looks like this version of the movie isn’t going to stimulate the fans to spend more money on the definitive fantasy movie.

Is anyone going to even bother with this set or are we all going to wait for the Extended Edition to hit Blu-ray? Or are you not going to buy the Blu-ray at all?
