Brendan -- I believe you're right. I was overlooking the obvious, as I'd never read the backs of two separate Superbit titles in such close proximity before. As it happens, I only own two Superbits at the moment, and one of them (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) doesn't have the WSJ quote, but a perusal of Superbits at the store today reveals that every other title I could find (perhaps a half dozen) all had the same bloody quote on the back! It's apparently part and parcel with Superbit.
One wonders if TWSJ intended their exclamation to accompany every single release, of course ... that it accompanies the Superbits that offer noteworthy improvements and those that do not alike weakens its impact for the attentive buyer. It's always associated with the description of Superbit technology, though, rather than appearing with the film blurb (or so it seems), so I'm sure you're right: it's a reaction to Superbit itself.
