I was talking to one of the guys who works at the neighborhood ?Outlets? [Three-letter word, hyphen, Four-letter] who told me they figured out a way to get the consumer to buy the same movie? twice.
They regard the average consumer as the under-educated slobs that we are, we don?t read labels and the vast majority of our education comes from gossip, urban legends and rumors. They?re using this to their advantage to squeeze us of every last red cent they can.
There?s going to come a time in the very near future when all Televisions sold will be widescreen plasma or LCD. Those that won?t be plasma or LCD will still be the 9x16 format you see today. The 4x3 that?s being sold today will be the Black & White screens of tomorrow? Even small TV?s sold will be the widescreen format.
You should know that for a motion picture to fill that screen your DVD needs to be the ?Letterbox? or ?Widescreen? edition. When a ?Full Screen? version is played on one of these screens, you get two very LARGE black or blue areas on the side. The back bars on the top annoy you? Just wait to see how annoyed you?ll be when you shell out some big bucks for a State of the Art television and you?re ?Full Screen? DVD isn?t ?Full Screen? any more. Imagine the RAGE you?ll be feeling when you look at the stack of ?Full Screen? DVD?s you bought already, and to see them ?Full Screen? on your ?Widescreen?, you?re going to have to buy them on another format.
Suckers aren?t born everyday; they?re made by the dozen every minute at your local fleecing-mart.
