I've been wondering about this too, as I've been shopping for the LOTR DVD's. I scoured amazon for awhile trying to figure out the differences, and I guess I didn't realize that the new ones had the theatrical and extended versions. I was going to just get the special extended editions of each, as it's about 15 dollars cheaper that way.

Do y'all think it's worth it to have both versions of the movies?
