If I'd bought this for or been looking forward to the "fullframe" extra, I'd be really, really annoyed with Shout right now. What were they smoking or didn't they even bother to check what they were including? If they went to extra effort and/or cost to include it, more fool them.

I basically replied in kind above, and I am very annoyed with them for not including the open-matte version. If, as is claimed, they didn't have access to it, they should not have half-assed it and claimed in big bold print TWO VERSIONS, just a ploy to sell more product. I'd have been happier if only one version was included, and no snake oil had been spilled in the advertising of the release.
The thing with Blu-ray releases is that, if it wasn't for the good old pre-release copies that lucky folks receive to review and post on the net, we, the consumers would be burned by these types of errors, because as we know, Blu-rays aren't returnable after being opened. There's no "try before you buy" option.
