Dude, any idiot can crop their letterbox edition and make their own pan and scan version. Leave the rest of the consumers out of your psychosis. Heck some DVD players can even do it automatically.

Anyway, that thud you hear is fan reception to the official release, but just remember one thing:

DVDs are all about the upsell-re-release. Turn out fast crap and then sell it again later anamorphic or with DTS or other added content (trailers).
I wouldn't worry about the upcoming discs (I also wouldn't buy them either).

Oh well. I'm glad I like my transfer (which for the record has more lines of resolution than the DVD will have). (Grumble grumble letterbox crap.)
