Simple question here. Why hasnt the Lord of the Rings films been released on Blu Ray or HD DVD. WHY!!!!!!!! I really want to see the Return of the King in HD. And many other people do. So why not?
because there in a constant struggle for it right now over the fact that who ever secures that movie deal will get millions of umm...fans of the series to buy the movie to see it with a slight higher pixelation count
It's not a problem with format; it was with New Line. They wanted the HD version (BD or HD) to have new content; more than the extended editions, but New Line had a falling out with Peter Jackson, stalling the project. Since they've made up, and Jackson is working on The Hobbit now, we might see LOTR on BluRay in the coming years...

this is why your a mod, you have a vast knowledge of things :P and i never knew that, thanks for the information
id imagine that they are wating for more people to buy blu-ray players. however, i think that the latest they would wait to release it would be about a month before the 1st hobbit movie plays in theaters.

MORE content? Isn't the extended RotK like 4 hours already? What do they want, 8 hours worth?

id imagine that they want to justify buying the movie twice by adding more than audio and video quality.
I really don't understand the big deal about HD. DVDs don't look bad or dated in any sense, so I don't see the point in fully investing in a format that costs more and adds just a bit more clarity.

If you have an HD tv, the difference is huge. It's just another level of 'epic'. The difference is mostly noticable on TVs greater then 30 inches.

If you have a HD tv you will notice. HD tvs support 1080p while Crt's only support 480p so you can imagine what the picture would look like when you a 480p source on a 1080p set

New Line is probably waiting to see who wins the format war.

720 and 1080 are a BIT more than just a slight pixelation increase buddy. WAtch a regular dvd on an SD tv then watch an HD or Blu-ray movie on an HD tv. Also, HD-DVD and Blu-ray also unclude high def sound. :)
