Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

They will not see a single dime on this. People that are into Blu Ray typically are more invested in their entertainment than those that only buy DVD's. It is not a knock on DVD buyers but rather just that if you dropped the cash for the Blu Ray player and the extra money on the disks then chances are you also have a TV and sound system to get the max value from your investment. Now I know a lot of people that also invest like that but still only use a DVD player. The difference is that a much higher percentage of those into Blu Ray go all out to those only into DVD's. With that said, the Blu Ray community expects more for their investment. After spending a small fortune for their entertainment center, they want the best products with all the bells and whistles. For Lord of The Rings to come out just plain jane with nothing extra and knowing full well that the "GOOD" version will be released at a laster date, we have a right to be upset. And to those that say these reviews are not valid, I disagree. They are very valid since this product falls short of what it should be and consumers need to be warned but chances are most Blu Ray lovers already know to avoid this release and hopefully the studios get the message. This release is a slap in the face to fans of this series. Sit back and watch as this one goes down in flames for shafting the fans.
