Hey all, Media Blasters sent me the same info a few days ago, but they explained that the specs weren't 100% locked and more concrete info would be coming in the next few days.
When I got the specs the first thing I did was contact MB and recommend that they
not use a 1.78:1 version. They replied that they are looking into options to have the American version FCTW in the correct 2.35:1 and should know one way or the other by this time next week.
Since everything is up in the air at this point I decided not to run a report on SciFi Japan until the specs were (hopefully) finalized next week. There didn't seem any point in possibly upsetting everyone over something that might never happen. I can see that plan turned out well...
As soon as I hear anything from Media Blasters I'll pass it along.
