New Line has confirmed that the four-disc extended edition of Return of the King will arrive on the 14th December. The set will include around fifty-minutes of additional footage, including the highly anticipated confrontation with Saruman. Stacks of extra material will also be featured, including cast and crew audio commentaries and multiple behind the scenes documentaries and featurettes. The SRP will be around $39.99. Also arriving on the 14th will be a collector's giftset which includes the aforementioned four-disc extended edition, along with a Sideshow/Weta statue of Minas Tirith and a Howard Shore Creating the Lord of the Rings Symphony DVD. The retail price for this will be set at around $79.92.

releasing just days (weeks?) before christmas... every big player does the same ploy every year. id rather release something in a slow time, although the ROTK franchise is big enough (and the movies are good enough) to make some serious cash during the christmas season.

for the small guys though, its better to release in a slower time when there isnt as much being released.
