The extended edition itself is the upcoming 5-Disc edition from New Line Home Video that contains Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D versions of the film along with Digital HD copies via UltraViolet. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Extended Edition features an additional 25 minutes of extended film, as well as over nine hours of bonus material. The package art for the 5-Disc edition features a fiery image of Smaug, and is enough to make you want to buy this edition over the 3-Disc Edition just for the packaging alone.
