Yeah, with all newer TVs being the 16:9 format this is becoming a non-issue. I have been pro widscreen since the days of Laserdisc myself. And like it was previously said, people are going to crap a brick when they get a new TV and the image has bars on the side. I had to educate everyone I knew when DVD was new. Some poeple still don't understand.
My sister used to work at Blockbuster and she said when DVD was first being rented people would actually bring the movie back and say it was broken becuae they were not getting the "full" image. I laughed when she told me that.
Now with Blu-ray I think we will never have to worry about pan and acan again.
