Lord of the Rings Blu-Ray Extended Edition Details

Amazon has updated its side with the details on The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Blu-Ray Extended Edition that is currently not yet scheduled for release. However, Christmas 2011 probably is a good guess. The listing currently has a price tag of $83.99 but expect that to fluctuate. Amazon also posted a list of Special Features (besides Digital Copy) but from I can tell they are identical to the DVD extended edition release. The special features:
