Alright, we all now know the basic release schedule was going to be a theatrical "movie only" release in August with very few special features, and than an SE in November.
Well, The Digital Bits (these guys are never wrong, at least in my experience, they don't report unless they have some real reason to think its true) is reporting that the SE in november will be a..........
4 DISC SET!
:Q:Q:Q
Since the SE should be about a 3 hour and 40 minute cut of the film, I figure it will go something like this:
Disc 1 and 2: The movie itself with both Dolby and DTS soundtracks, and a commentary by Peter Jackson, and probably another commentary by some of the actors.
Disc 3: special features (featurettes, trailers, tv spots, and other miscellaneous things you find for special features)
Disc 4: Documentary on the making of the film, at least 2 hours long
They intended from the get-go to document this film extensively, they hired a crew to do so and the filmed over 800 hours of behind the scenes stuff.
If they continue with this type of release schedule, the final box set would be something like 12 discs! :Q

oh, and...
Two DVDs to rule them all
One DVD to find them
One DVD to bring them all
And in a cardboard foldout case bind them
