Yep, even more cynicism from the studio...which understands that promoting a film as "unrated" gives the impression of a more extreme version of the film in terms of violence, gore or sexuality.
They don't exactly go out of their way to say that The Ring Two's unrated for two reasons, laziness--for not bothering to re-submit the film for rating from the MPAA (another PG13 for sure)--and promotional purposes...and that the deleted material cut back into the film was--in this case--left out for very good reason and doesn't enhance the film in the least. Aesthetically, it lowers the overall quality of the film.
I had a feeling this might happen, and should've steered toward the theatrical cut. Even at fullscreen--sometimes just an umatted version of a widescreen print--at least it's a finished film...and not the shodiest looking "workprint" status, cobbled together piece on junk you've ever seen.
