There's an interview in Empire magazine this month with Peter Jackson concerning the release of LOTR on Blu which I have typed out verbatim for your pleasure:
Middle-earth on Blu-ray by March? Peter Jackson explains...
"It's something we get asked a lot," says Peter Jackson on the phone from Wellington. The oft-posed question Empire's just flung at him is this: "When will The Lord of the Rings finally hit Blu-ray?" As anyone who's watched Planet Earth in high-definition can attest, Middle-earth's mountains and meadows will look stunning in 1080p, and that's before you even take into account the terabytes of digital effects. So what's the hold-up? "I keep getting told different dates," Jackson explains. "It was supposed to be Christmas, but now it's 2010. Possibly as early as March, I hear. But to be honest, I have got to the point where I don't really pay much attention to it!" Part of the issue is that the rights to the film franchise are now controlled by Warner Bros., currently prepping the two Hobbit movies. A lawsuit between Warner and the heirs of J.R.R. Tolkien, which was only resolved in September 2009, may have contributed to the delay of the HD re-release (Blu-ray cover art was revealed as long ago as April last year). "Warners have some strategy that I'm not really party to, which is fine," says Jackson. "The first release will be the theatrical versions in a box set, then they're planning to release the extended cuts the following year or something. Obviously to make everyone buy it twice. I've been talking to them but nothing's been resolved." The director has, however, sat down to watch the high-def transfers, and gives them a thumbs up. "It looks fine. Though they can't really upgrade any of the extras, because all that was shot on standard def. Maybe the have a magic box to give them added resolution." And, sparking hope in the hearts of those for whom the myriad hours of extras available just aren't enough, Jackson mentions the possibility of even more exhaustive material. "I have a couple of ideas for a new documentary. We shot and uploaded seven million feet of film to the Avid in New Zealand, and when we finished Rings we said to New Line, 'Why don't you leave that here, under lock and key with a dust cloth thrown over it, so we can go back later?' They said, 'No, send it all back,' and wiped the drives, even though we begged them not to. So, to do another documentary, they're going to have to re-digitise all that 35-mil footage, which is in LA now, frame by frame. Which they seem very reluctant to do." So there you have it: all that candid behind-the-scenes material and filmed-but-abandoned footage (perhaps including Arwen's appearance at Helm's Deep and Aragorn's early years), hidden somewhere in Burbank, waiting to be discovered like the One Ring itself. But don't hold your breath. "That'll probably turn up on what they call 'the big box set' - the Lord of the Rings films and the two Hobbit films," says Jackson. "So it's still four or five years away."

HdR "in naher Zukunft" auf Blu Ray
Hört sich für mich an, wie die WerbeCDs an den Pepsi-Cola-Flaschen zu Zeiten ROTKs... 
Sorry!
was das denn für ein Mist?!
,da macht es keinen Sinn auf Blu Ray umzusteigen.
was so günstig im Media Markt kosten alle 3.Teile so um die 50,00€.
