I've made that mistake twice, once when a family member bought the indiana jones box set and I opened it w/o looking. Fortunately, they played the 'dumb old person' card and got a refund and once when I was excited to get serenity. I chalked that one up to supporting the franchise.

You're slipping dude. You need a stick and the foil off a gum wrapper, the rest is elementary.

working in a retail store, many people request them, and get angry when we don't carry them and only have the widescreen version available. the avg person is not tech-savy or even close to it...they just want it to fill up the whole screen of their 27" tv.

btw, i hate to say it, but ur signature is sadly true.

many people do not have abig screen, so they want to watch a movie and fill the screen up to its max.

widescreen, although gives you more picture, makes the movies smaller. this is why people prefer fullscreen.

simple as poop

But why eliminate the possibility of ever watching the original content by buying an FS DVD? AFAIK, you can go ahead and just hit the effin zoom button and make a 16:9 picture pan and scan instead.

Walmart has incredible sales on some DVD's, like $4.50 for a FS version, or $8 for a new release FS, highly doubt you could exchange for the DVD that costs 1.5x as much- 2x as much

Yeah, I post on a forum with less technical people and I was amazed by how many people there like full screen. My biggest TV is 27", and I still want to see the whole movie, not just half of the picture. Even when my biggest TV was a 19" I bought nothing but widescreen.
