very tasty trailers ...

Platinum Edition DVD has 4 discs, with lots of behind the scenes stuff. I just noticed it is the version to be released in November, duh. I think I am like you, I will get the movie now, and the extended version later. And of course the super extended version in 2004 :-)

Right! - And whatever else they will throw at us! We'll buy it!

Hey - did you see the other download that came out the day before these? - It is a preview of footage that will be on the Extended Version - has gorgeous shots of the elves leaving the Shire going west and hints of the other new scenes? It was not posted here, only in the Hobbit Hole, and in the Green Dragon threads.
