Yup, this has all been known about for a while, see:
http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=61428

The other thing that gets me is that because they're only being released as
separate discs, the RRP is 22.99 EACH, i.e. a total for the trilogy of
69!! Ok, most people who buy online won't be paying RRP, but the average
price online is still 13.99 each, which comes to a total 42! That's 15
more than I paid for the 2004 boxset on pre-order.

I hate double-dipping and I was umming and ahhing about whether to buy these
at that price anyway. The non-anamorphic thing has just clinched it and it
looks like I'll be 42 better off this September.
