If it is a question, then why use an exclamation point? Your question would be bettered anwsered here:

The guy should have said letterbox and anamorphic. Previous editions of Vertigo were not enhanced for 16x9 TVs, now it is.

Of course the reviewer is also wrong because Vertigo was released in Anamorphic in 2005 as part of a box set.

Well the reviewer is also sort of right, because not everybody wanted to purchase the Hitchcock Masterpiece set, including myself.
