How are you being ripped off for it not having subtitles, if your copy is indeed a transfer of the Dragonbox discs, then what you bought is geared at the Japanese fan-base; not us English speakers. Rather you buy the Dragonbox Singles, the rare Dragonboxes themselves, or even a transfer of the discs; you don't get ripped off because of lack of subtitles. If you want subtitles, buy a release aimed at English speakers.
What you are being ripped off of, like Mike said, is buying what are basically bootlegged transfers of the Dragonbox, as you don't have the real deal.
One more thing, I seriously doubt the cropping will be as bad as this ludicrous
image makes it out to be. It seems to me like a largely exaggerated cropping of what we'll actually get, and it doesn't help things that that footage appears to be from FUNi's already zoomed-in Ultimate Uncut masters. The wide-screen will be applied to the original film source, as we all know, not that crappy digi-beta source. Looking at one of those comparison images of Goku and Vegeta squaring off in stance, it seriously doesn't look like we're losing much, and there's the possibility FUNi can pan the image inside the wide-screen to catch certain things otherwise cropped (similar to the pan-and-scan full-screen versions of Star Wars and other movies); such as Vegeta's impact after being hit with the Spirit Bomb.
