There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

The post over on TORn also linked to the BR forum where someone has posted an image of the HOBBIT Trilogy Boxed set, (TE only) which Warner will also release on the same day!

Shouldn't the trilogy box set say "There and Back Again"?

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.... John Rogers
Hmmm...according to TheHutt the European release dates are not before April, with Germany being April 23rd...
Oh well. I shall be holding out for the EE anyway...

TheHutt has also been ferretting around and uncovered this listing:
The Swiss shop (CeDe) has listed two interesting releases of The Hobbit Trilogy on BluRay. There are two versions: a 2D only (6 discs) and a 3D+2D (12 discs) in steelbook packaging. However, the most notable bonus is hidden in the description (marked bold by me):
A facsimile copy of Bilbo's Red Book of Westmarch would indeed be a really nice extra to have.

indeed, the Red Book would be a cool thing to have!
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."
I'm pretty sure that isn't the version that will be included with the BluRay set. Just a hunch.
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."

Yeah, they'll still be filming new scenes for it until after the Oscars...

Can you elaborate on why you think Ouroboros is a fitting image here?
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."
I just thought both Smaug and the ring are manifestations of the same evil, the dragon had died but the ring lives on at the end of the Hobbit, and definitely the greed in human/elvish/dwarven hearts does and it's an eternal struggle.
Making a kind of ouroboros out of it as a symbol of continuity made sense in my head, especially for this version of the story where the ring is not just an innocent magical object.
