I may just end up ripping this and my full screen DVD set and put the HD on top of the DVD, line it up scene by scene and re-encode the video to create the full open-matte set that I wanted. So what if it looks like a plus symbol?

Hi Debbie Downer. I guess your cup is half empty and mine is half full. When I read the below it was the lossless audio that got my attention. Love the soundtrack. Looking forward to revisiting this, but with lossless audio this time.

"Tech specs for the 3-disc set include 1080p HD video in the 1.78:1 aspect ratio that has been digitally remastered with a lossless surround mix."

As for the aspect ratio, the odds were on a 1.78:1 release. I gauged my expectations accordingly. I own both DVD sets. If want to watch this in 1.33:1 I'll watch the DVD set. Plan to enjoy the upcoming Blu-ray release for what it is. To each his own naturally.
