Limited Edition Lord of the Rings DVDs

Thanks to Jacob from the newly launched Grey Havens for mentioning an upcoming treat:

"Three Lord of the Rings Limited Edition sets, one for each movie, will hit store shelves on August 29. Each two-disc set will include the original theatrical and the extended versions of the film, along with Costa Botes' feature-length documentary on each film's creation... How can they do this? By using a 'branching' format that gives you a visual cue to view an extended scene if you want to while you're watching the film."

Like Jake, I can't understand why anyone would want to watch the inferior theatrical versions. And the visual cues will end up wrecking the viewer's experience in any case. Still, as a hard-core fan I'll be getting these for the documentaries alone, and even if this is a shameless way for New Line to make more money.
