Steve: 
Also, an anniversary extended edition of LotR has been released in a box set. Unfortunately, according to a review I read, the movies exceed a single BluRay disc, and as such, the movies break abruptly at certain point, and you need to put the next disk in. The reviewer thought they could have made the transitions smoother and picked the breaks more carefully. Still it would be nice to see the extended footage. 

Geoff:
This is presumably a re-boxed edition, maybe remastered in some way for 
BluRay. Amazon has this set running in parallel with the original set.

The original "extended" versions were produced in 2002-4, each a year after
the release of the  "cinema" versions and incorporated all the extra footage.

I've had them from new and each of the three films takes up two DVDs. but 
the breaks are, as md has commented, are in between two scenes so there 
is no problem.  For example, assuming that the BluRay DVDs switch at the 
same points as the originals, the first disc of LOTR:TTT ends with Faramir's 
capture of Frodo and Sam in Ithilien while the second picks up with Gimli, 
Legolas and the inhabitants ofEdoras fleeing to Helms Deep.
