Blockbuster Online question about widescreen/full screen
I have a question about Blockbuster Online DVDs.
Usually if there are multiple format of a title, for instance, a widescreen version vs a full screen version, you can pretty much tell which is which.
However, I've noticed that the Legend of Zorro comes up with 2 choices when you do a search. One choice have Legend of Zorro P/S. The other didn't. So do you think this one is the widescreen version? Hopefully since that is the one in my queue with a short wait.
Another example is Doom. The search comes up with the 2 version. One said unrated and WS. The other didn't say anything about the format so I'm assuming it's the rated full screen version. Of course I put the unrated and W/S one in my queue.
One more example. The Fog (new one) comes up with no version/format info but rated PG-13 (which I believe is the full screen version). But BBO didn't carry the unrated W/S version. So deleted The Fog from my queue as I believe I would get the P/S version.
I was just wondering if anyone knows the best way to tell the format. I've been going to Amazon to see how many formats there are.
I want to make sure I rent the WS version from BBO.
PS. Concerning The Great Raid movie, noticed 2 version. One is P/S and the SE one is W/S. At least according to my search in Amazon.com. BBO had the P/S version and the SE version but they shipped me the P/S version. Grgggg.

Exactly. The Great Raid came in a sleeve stating it is the DC version. Therefore should be widescreen. But upon playing, it is the full screen version. Also, all the extras correspond to the full screen version. I believe, but don't fault me for this, is that the DC version disc 1 have different stuff. So I just gave up.
Does anyone know if the Wallace and Gromitt: Curse of the Were Rabbit that BBO have is the widescreen version. (There's 2 versions available but BBO didn't indicate which format it is).
And which format the Legend of Zorro is? There's one that said 4:3 and the other didn't show what it is on BBO and this is the one I have in my queue.
Thanks.

Got Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit today. It was the widescreen version. Even though there are two versions out and BBO only shows one.
It will be interesting to see what I will get for The Legend of Zorro.
