Somebody should simply reissue the Blu Ray discs as a standalone set.
I already have the set with the DVD versions of the CS.
At lease I wont have to rebuy the whole expensive thing again!
If you have the CS set in any version, there is no need to rebuy it again.
The Audio-DVD has the exact same content as the Blu-ray (same mastering, same resolution).
The DVD set has the advantage that it's easier to rip.
Not sure there would be a market for a Bluray disc only edition, though they could consider releasing the multi-channel mix as a download version.

I have to admit I really like the LOTR sets, the packaging is very nice, the extensive booklets very informative and well pressed on thick high-quality paper.

On the flip side, I'd gladly buy a 10 CD reissue in a nice slimeline package (or 11, throw in the rarities disc. Or hell, 12....add the Symphony).
It should be a 13 CD release, as the symphony includes 2 CDs.

Disc rot does exist and it's a well understood phenomenon.
No, not every disc will rot. Most won't. But some will. And, yes, it is because of poor pressing, but it is nevertheless a very gradual process that can take years.
Just because there are CDs that are 30 years old that haven't rotted, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Laserdiscs were particularly prone to it, presumably because of their greater size. I had first edition laserdiscs of Star Wars and The Omen, neither of which played by the time I finally gave up my laser disc player.
In terms of CDs, my first Silva Screen CD of Damien Omen II rotted.
I presume that in those occasions where you have to bend the disc nearly in half to get it out of it's holder, you increase the chances of breaking the seals slightly and letting the oxygen in.
Cheers
This.
I only personally have had the problem with Laserdiscs. It is really common in the star Trek lasers.
