Yeah--Sansweet is just repeating what the higher ups are telling him to tell us. Its a very unfortunate position for him to be in and I'm sure he is as dissapointed as many of us for this release.
As for 2005--the films were re-packaged in a three disk box set without the bonus disk at a reduced price and with different box art (depicting the original poster art--perhaps to sell it as the OOT?? I know at least one person who bought it thinking this!). The 2005 box set failed massively because it was pointless.
