Although I understand people's desire to preserve the original non-anamorphic image, I believe having the OT in anamorphic is probably one of the most important things the X0 team could do for this project. I know their version will be leaps and bounds above the GOUT in many areas, but honestly if it weren't for the fact that the GOUT was non-anamorphic, I would have settled on buying and living with that version of the OT months ago.
So, all we are saaaaaayinnnnnng... is give anamorphic a chance. (After all, a 16x9 TV is a terrible thing to waste).
