Rip Blu-ray Guide

Some movies are meant to be on Blu-ray.  The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is one of them.  Sadly though, it looks like the trilogy won’t be available until next year (first quarter of 2010).  From Engadgethd.com

Our friend Bill at the Digital Bits continues to deliver on some of the best and worst Blu-ray movie news — although we really wish he’d make his site linkable already — and this time it is the sad news that one of the most anticipated Blu-ray releases ever will be pushed to 2010. No word on exactly when The Lord of the Rings will make it to Blu-ray, but it seems pretty certain that it won’t be in the next four months.

I still do not understand the delay in getting Blu-ray movies to the marketplace.  LOTR Blu-ray would be a perfect Christmas present for geeks.  These movies will surely be some of the best selling Blu-ray movies ever.  Hopefully the quality is better than Gladiator though.
