Yes Smilie Note though that these are only extended (no theatrical) and though they come with the bonus content they don't include any commentaries. Annoyingly, the 4K Blu-ray's also don't include any commentaries and I believe the only way to listen to them is via the DVD or Blu-ray releases. That said, this is the "ultimate" version of LOTR if you want it in the best sound/image currently available.
Click on one of the 3 movies and it will display Movies Anywhere on all 3 titles. These are Warner Brothers movies which are one the studios included with Movies Anywhere.
Generally to get the "best sound/image"from UHD you would need to go with disc, especially on the sound side.

You do need to have the equipment and proper setup to take advantage of it though.

1. I don't see MA listed anywhere.

2. The system req's list only Windows Phones under Mobile section.

3. No mention of any other viewing options other than M$ platforms.

4. Site lists "UHD" as needing "Xbox One S or Xbox One X with a connection to a 4K television over HDMI 2.0a with support for HDCP 2.2" which means they're probably using DRM so no support for any other streaming devices.

Please help clarify anything I've listed here. From what I read it looks like I wouldn't be able to even watch them since I don't own an Xbox or a Windows Phone. I hope I'm wrong.

Same for me. It really is a good price if you're on M$ platforms. No hate for M$ I just don't use any of their tech.

Ok. I bit the bullet and bought the bundle.

Can confirm they are Movies Anywhere compatible with Screen Pass as well.

They showed up in my movie list about 5 minutes after purchase.

Hope this helps! Smilie

It does on my Roku tv. On my phone (not a 4K device) it shows as 4K but plays in SD or HD.

Extended only? I am watching the extended Return of the King now. I paused it on hour 3:02 and there is STILL 1:17 hours left!

Most people would be better served with the theatrical ones versus the long cut only. Just be aware if this is the case where you ONLY get extended. The code from the 4K disc gives you both theatrical and extended versions.
i would gladly watch teh ext version over theatre version anyday of the week
