I also broke down and bought the EE of FOTR on DVD. Got a "Geschenkcoupon" from one of my classes, so I only had to pay 490 FT instead of 5490, which is quite a difference, I'd say. FOTR is the only part of the trilogy I actually liked, save from the battle of the wizards and the visuals of Rivendell and Lothlórien. Oh, and the casting. Gandalf (as long as he was grey), Sam, Bilbo and Gollum were OK and Boromir was terrific, but I didn't like how everyone else was cast.
