Yeah but, why is it so important to you that everbody has the newest and latest electronics? Like, what do you care if somebody has fullscreen over widescreen?

The quicker new technologies are adopted, the more affordable they are.

And why do I care about aspect ratios? Because it pisses me off when I want a movie and all I can find is the fullscreen version... and if you zoom a widescreen DVD, you achieve a passable imitation of a fullscreen crop. Since almost all DVD players have that option, there is absolutely no reason to force that butchering of the picture on those who don't like it.

Honestly though, I'd much prefer they left out the audio commentary, and 95% of that extraneous bullshit I couldn't care less about, and just make all movies dual-version. Since that will never happen, the next best I can hope for is for all movies to debut only in widescreen (Pirates of the Carribean and Bad Boys II are widescreen-only, and it's a trend I hope continues).

Also, perhaps my eye is just trained a bit for it, but I can always visually tell right away when a DVD is playing, as opposed to a VHS tape, even if the tape is brand-new.
