Blu-ray Giveaway: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

The contest is over! And, chosen by Random.org, the winner is … EUGAET! Congratulations. Please email your mailing address to sam@discdish.com by April 5 to claim your prize. Thank you to everyone who entered. Watch out for other giveaways soon.

Middle-Earth fans, get ready! Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey arrives on DVD, Blu-ray/DVD Combo and Blu-ray 3D Combo on March 19. And Disc Dish is giving away a copy of the Blu-ray/DVD Combo to a lucky reader.

The Hobbit is, of course, the adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkein’s classic novel, but An Unexpected Journey is only part 1. Jackson stretched the story into three movies, adding in characters from the Lord of the Rings world to bring the films closer together.

Although Hobbit shares LOTR‘s Ian McKellen (X-Men: The Last Stand) as Gandalf, Cate Blanchett (Hanna) as Galadrial and Andy Serkis (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) as Gollum, among others, the movie also stars Martin Freeman (TV’s Sherlock) as a younger Bilbo, as well as Richard Armitage (Captain America: The First Avenger) and James Nesbitt (Coriolanus).

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey grossed more than $300 million in the U.S., and the three-disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo has a value of $35.99. Here’s how you can enter for your chance to get one for free:
