Not buying these = kissing the OT goodbye forever. We asked for the OT, and we're getting it...not the type of transfer we expected, but the OT nonetheless. I see NO wisdom in not buying these. Lucas will be justified in the future by saying, "See...I tried to dump these things in '06 and nobody bought them". Nobody will question whether they were anamorphic or not.
Buy them now, put the sales through the roof to remove all doubt (numbers don't lie), THEN start hitting GL up for a better transfer. Lucas doesn't read letters/emails/faxes/whatever. He only knows sales numbers. My opinion is to SHOW HIM!! Of course, your viewpoint may differ
