Matrix Reloaded: Full-Screen version in Widescreen package!

I bought the dvd from Fry's in Fremont, CA store. The package says "widescreen edition", but when I opened it, the movie was full-screen. I took it back and the store manager said that I am the sixth person who brought it back for this reason. Just a heads-up.

That is weird because at my work we have 62 FF Matrix dvds in inventory, but most have WS on the cover (2 did say FF). I just thought it was strange, but I guess I will check the UPCs tomorrow at work. Must be a glitch in the matrix.

haha, must be.

Looks like poor QC in WB's Mexico packing factories. Bad Juan, bad Jose. No beans for you and your family this week.

Now, are we just going by what it says on the disk, or did we actually play it?

I'm just wondering if there may be any out there that say "WIDESCREEN" on the disk, but the movie itself is FF.
