I think that this current version is only 5.1. I've resisted buying this version and waiting for the extended version. the extended version for the other 2 releases(as you all probably already know) is 6.1 ES. I've done some experimenting with my 7.1 setup and find that turning down (a little) the surrounds and turning up (a lot) the rear surrounds gives some interesting results... like, "where the H@ll did that come from" I found myself looking over my shoulder quite a bit.
My big disappoint with "The Return of the King" is that they left our the "scouring of the Shire" chapter" I realize it would of been rediculous to try and inlcude due to time -- but, it's probably one of the best chapters of the book. Anyway, I realize for "non-readers" of the trilogy, the wrap up probably goes long. But, for anyone whose read the books, the characters are so much closer than the movie can reveal, and that the "good-byes" almost seem short in the movie.
