It's the gift set editions (extra DVD + statue). Each gift set had an extra DVD (Fellowship had the Tolkien documentary, TTT had the extra Gollum DVD, and ROTK has the Howard Shore concert DVD).
IMO, the Howard Shore concert DVD is not worth the time. It's basically a 50 minute excerpt from a concert with some interrupts where Howard Shore sits in a chair and "reads" things to you that you already know in much more detail by looking at the original extended versions.
I have a great deal of respect for Howard Shore and the work he has done as a composer. But I can't hear or read his name without also hearing somewhere in the back of my mind ...."and his all Nurse Band"
He was the first Saturday Night Live Music Director (hence "Howard Shore and his all Nurse Band!") and also helped start "The Blues Brothers"...There is a SNL sketch with Lily Tomlin and Howard Shore and his all Nurse Band singing St. James Infirmary which is hilarious.
