What’s taters precious? It’s Blu-Ray dear Gollum!

Lord of the Rings is finally coming out on Blu-Ray. No longer will we have to endure up-scaled visions of Mordor and Rivendell on our huge plasma screens, because come April 6 we will be enjoying them in 1080p; an experience that I can only imagine will be nothing short of biblical. There’s no indication as to what kind of extras will be packed on to the 9 disc boxset yet, but it has been stated that this particular edition will contain the theatrical versions of the trilogy, with the extended cuts to follow on a later release. I guess we can’t have it all, but god dammit, when this comes out I’m getting my piece of the pie.
