    I have been holding out on buying these two. They are two of my very favorite movies, and have not bought them due to a lack of anamorphic transfers. Who wants Universal to sprinkle some anamorphic zest on these movies?

    The DVD for "Versus" is listed as ONLY having a DTS soundtrack. Is there no 5.1DD track? I don't have a DTS decoder on my surround system, so this dvd would do me no good if it was DTS only.
