i only have 3 titles as well (terminator, spaceballs, hang 'em high) and i think all but terminator have both versions, so im gonna watch them and see if anything appears off.

i read a thread in a different forum http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=402532&page=1&pp=25 dont know how accurate it is about what the lawsuit is actually about but it seems that it may just be how the package listed the advantage of widescreen and how that relates to open matte films http://www.rexer.com/cine/oar.htm

but like i said, what ive seen and what i remember from spaceballs seems to suggest that the widescreen versions are pan&scan versions cropped into a widescreen ratio...

chances are i wont bother sending in my dvds, if i do it would probably only be spaceballs and then use the $7 towards the new version...
