Several weeks ago I talked to someone who said they would not be buying the 9/12 release because the OOT was not in fullscreen!
I mean, why didn't they bother with the fullscreen OOT? Weren't there also fullscreen laserdisk masters, or was the 1993 telecine just that much better than the others but only done in letterbox?

There is a fullscreen THX video master, it was used for the '95 vhs release. And previous fullscreen telecine's also made it to laserdisc. But what die hard fan who cares about seeing the originals would want a pan & scan version. One guy here did transfer the THX tapes later but right from the start back in '04 after the dvd's came out, I could tell it was a given that any bootlegs had to be widescreen if it was to be considered respectable. All the sites with screencaps of the changes used widescreen tapes. Then someone pointed out the special collection which was one of the first widescreen releases.
