Oooookaaaayyy...
Neil, you need to chill for a second. Just because it's a "bonus feature" doesn't mean anything. hell, the theatrical version of E.T. was also a bonus feature. marketing is gonna call it a bonus feature, but marketing is also promoting the Originals like CRAZY over the 2004 editions that are "supposed to be" the primary draw here. So obviously "Bonus features" isn't exactly carrying the same weight as "bonus features" typically does.
Dude, you're just guessing. you don't know just like the rest of us don't know. We got a ways to go, and it seems a lot of people think the ALTERNATE interpretation of Ward's comments are correct. Would I be surprised if it really was just the original LD master ported over? Not really. But then again, I don't really know.
Difference is I'm not taking my spite-fueled "prediction" and running all over the internet trying to stir up a grassroots boycott campaign. You're shooting your load way too early Neil. Ease back. You were right with the swapped surrounds, and got messageboard martyred for it or whatever, but don't get too eager to repeat that whole bit of whirlwind "success" you had. Chill for a second. If you end up being right, THEN it's time to call down the thunder. But you literally DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT yet. None of us do.
