Why doesn't the Sony PSP have an analog stick?

i agree, i'd rather have the 16:9

of course, i have a 16:10 monitor, so i am biased to widescreen

Yup I have a 16:10 monitor also. 16:9 would be too wide for a pc monitor resolution, well actually I would prefer 16:9 but they don't make them so I don't really have a choice either way

actually most of our prime time tv shows are in widescreen in the us too. HDTV to boot isn't it just some funky dvd resolution in the uk?

Yeah we are getting HDTV via Sky later this year or next year. It won't be for a few years until we all get HDTV programmes though. Sky Digital picture quality on most of the 'main' channels (meaning not some obscure music channel or some C rate channel ) are about DVD quality. That is pretty good to me.

Our family tv isn't HDTV so it wouldn't make a difference to us. But it would be nice to watch stuff in HDTV when we get a new TV as the old Sony 32" Widescreen is going strong 6yrs+!

Most of your comedies aren't funny!

Most aren't funny but what we do have is funny though.

Your reality tv shows (The Apprentice, The Contender etc) are MUCH better imo then our versions. Our versions look very cheaply made and not as 'showbiz' as your versions.

So. go buy some duck tape and cover up the boarders of the screen and then you have widescreen.

Well then I would be 'missing' the extra bits on the side that are 'suppose' to be present in a widescreen.

Watching a 4:3 movie isn't the same as watching the 16:9 of the same movie. You 'could' do that the duct tape but then you lose even more info.

Duck tape is correct, as it was the name used earlier than duct tape

Link

The original use was to keep moisture out of the ammunition cases. Because it was waterproof, people referred to the tape as "Duck Tape." Also, the tape was made using cotton duck - similar to what was used in their cloth medical tapes. Military personnel quickly discovered that the tape was very versatile and used it to fix their guns, jeeps, aircraft, etc. After the war, the tape was used in the booming housing industry to connect heating and air conditioning duct work together.

Soon, the color was changed from Army green to silver to match the ductwork and people started to refer to duck tape as "Duct Tape." Things changed during the 1970s, when the partners at Manco, Inc. placed rolls of duct tape in shrink wrap, making it easier for retailers to stack the sticky rolls. Different grades and colors of duct tape weren´t far behind. Soon, duct tape became the most versatile tool in the household.
