Looking for the LOTR DVD in the US? “To help my fellow “financially challenged” LOTR fans and spare you all the chore of researching it, I have found the price war winner for the new LOTR DVD release. After exhaustively searching ads for major stores in Suburban USA, the winner is WALMART with a LOW cost of $15.78!!!. This is very closely followed by Best Buy for $15.99 (who also had a midnight release party here in Tampa). Circuit City and all other major chains are $16 or higher…over $20 is a bad deal, dont do it!
Also you can simply RENT it now on DVD or VHS and wait a bit more till the EXTENDED version in Nov., for which there will be yet another brutal price war online I’m sure! Blockbuster is offering 10 free future rentals if you buy their LOTR for $24.99. Not a bad deal considering rental costs these days!
Enjoy, KaiaRose”
And in NZ: “Just thought I’d drop you a line and let you know that I was watching TV last night, and I saw that “The Warehouse” is going to be selling the DVD version of FoTR for a meagre $NZD29.95.
Ever other retailer in the country is listing FoTR for $NZD39.95. (That’s a measly $USD14.30… Not bad aye?)
Cheers, Turbo99

“A friend of mine works in Golden Discs in Dublin. On Thursday the manager came running in in a panic and said that Tescos had started selling Lord of the Rings and that they were losing the march on the “biggest DVD release of all time”. So within ten minutes, Golden Discs were shoving all of their LOTR stock onto the shelves for all they were worth.
“Within half an hour the manager of the local HMV was in and apparently came close to fisticuffs when his demands for the DVDs to be removed off the shelves weren’t met! Having lost the argument he ran back to his store and got his cronies to stock up the shelves instead! So in effect most Irish stores have been stocking the film since about four days before the release
“Tescos Ireland are selling the box set for •40, HMV for about •30. But I’d still buy the DVD from Play.com (free postage) because at £16.99 (about •26) it’s still the cheapest price I’ve seen east of the atlantic, which of course I tried to tell you guys ages ago. But I’m laughing because I’ve had the DVD since last Monday… muahahaha.”
Thanks to Jon for that.
