I don't think that's an actual feature. You are supposed to see small black bars with SPR on 16x9 TVs but most TV sets have some overscan which scan a little bit of the picture away (in this case the black bars). Don't know why you could see black bars before but not anymore. Maybe you had a...
Just received the 4-disc set today from DVDSoon. All of this has propably already been said but no french audio track on any of the discs and SPR doesn't even have french subtitles.
I have the Korean 4-disc set. It's Region 0. The picture looks good on my 32" widescreen tv and the sound is definately great. Haven't had time to watch the extras yet. Take a look at a nice picture of the package here.

Return to Normandy -featurette won't be on the R3 Korean LE. I sent an email asking about it to koreandvds.com and they confirmed it from Paramount Korea.
I ordered mine on the 15th and received it on the 26th. Pretty amazing that the case and disc were not damaged at all. Yes and I also live nowhere near North America. :)
Another vote for the Hong Kong Legends versions. Here you can find comparisons of versions from different regions: Ouatic 1 Ouatic 2 Ouatic 3 :emoji_thumbsup:
It's pretty obvious that the release date is incorrect. That wouldn't be the first time for DVDSoon. The set propably won't come out until near the end of the year.
