I may be wrong but if this was a real HD version don't you think it would be all over the net (like digitalbits and that WB mastered the film in HD and don't you think that TNT (has the BR rights to broadcast), Showtime (I think they have the rights) and the other HD channels would be showing it now also? Again I may be wrong...

You're wrong. This is a completely different master.
