I've been looking for the extended version on DVD. I have the 4 DVD sets for the first two movies, but not for this one. Are they going to package it like they did for the first two?
Yes.
(The packaging is blue.)
It will be released on Dec. 14, and is curently available for preorder from Amazon. Like the previous two, it is also available in Collector's DVD Gift Set, which includes a Minas Tirith sculpture.
Me too. Once I obtain this extended version, my whole family will be sitting down for a whole day to watch them all in a row on my new Yamaha RX-V902 Dolby Pro-Logic 5.1 Surround system. Hell, we might even start off with the animated version of "The Hobbit".
