Watch the Ultimate Edition Trailer!

I was very, very pleased with what I received each set comes in a sturdy case/gift box that will protect the Blu-Ray discs inside and look oh-so-nice in your shelf. I was pleasantly surprised to find that each set also included a free digital copy of the movie. You can you can load it on your iPod or watch it on your computer as well! The 48-page books are hardcover, nicely made, and a lot of fun to page through. They contain photos from all of the movies, behind-the-scenes photos, and even some pre-movie costume and scene sketches. Youll also receive collectible cardboard character cards.

The Viewing:

I was very curious to find out how much better the movies would be on Blu-Ray as opposed to DVD. My husband was skeptical and said we probably wouldnt notice a difference, but we were both pleasantly surprised that he was wrong (me especially, I love it when hes wrong). We noticed many things that we didnt remember seeing before in scenes we obviously had seen before (not the extra footage), details and such. The lighting was noticeably better as well, which helped.

I LOVE extended edition movies, and this one didnt disappoint me in the least! John and I even wondered a couple of times why they decided to cut certain scenes because they helped with the storyline. I loved the extra scenes!

Im really pleased to be able to own these sets and will without a doubt buy the others when they are released! Even though we dont own a Blu-Ray player, we will be dragging my husbands Playstation 3 out to play these movies on from now on!
