This is in the HMV sale in a re-released form with what looks like the same extras as the previous "collector's edition". That release was non-anamorphic, but the back cover of this one doesn't make it clear whether this one is or not. Has anyone got this? It's the one with this cover:

Thanks!

I have the one with gold WIDESCREEN across the top, not that one.
2.35:1 Widescreen

I don't think I've seen that one. It's not listed on DVDcompare.net either:

Still says 2.35:1 Widescreen, so that ul be non-anamorphic, same transfer as the first edition

It probably is the same unanamorphic transfer seeing as it's now a budget (?6.99) release. Universal have probably just repackaged it. Sometimes it's hard to tell from the back cover blurb whether a disc is anamorphic or not, different companies have different ways of displaying the information and some just get it totally wrong (R2 Walkabout! :matrix:

).
