Thanks. I got burned in the last round (The Fellowship of the Ring), but I'm older and wiser. ;-)

Many people I know are going for the regular version, and plan on getting the extended version too. Who says that DVD sales are dead?

Say, you're not against making backup copies of your own media, like this Jack Wilson RIAA troll, are you? It's a pretty extreme position.

Not at all. I've digitized my entire CD collection (no small feat considering the numbers).

I regularly drag and drop MP3 songs from my 100 Gb slave hard drive (None of which get shared via Kazaa et al) to the CF card for my NexII MP3 player. I take that sucker everywhere. It's much easier to carry one 256 Mb Compact Flash card than to tote half a dozen CDs around.

I had a go at copying DVDs but it was very labor intensive. I also have no need for backups of the DVDs. With no small children around and extremely severe penalties advertised for mishandling or losing them, they are very safe.
