23 Oct 2013 iTunes release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Extended Edition I checked a few different regional stores and it appears to be available in the UK, US, Canada and Australia, but not in France or Netherlands so perhaps it hasn’t yet reached Europe apart from the UK. Obviously I didn’t check all countries so please check yours for availability.
