Response to Bullwhip Boy
In his post, he [Bullwhip Boy] stated that if a full-screen supporter was to simply zoom his widescreen DVD, he would make it full-screen. I already posted this, however, as another Raider pointed out, the image quality would be substantially lowered, and the image wouldn't automatically pan. (Hence the name, "Pan and Scan.") Still, relating to the previous point, it is possible, if I am correct, to pan automatically while in zoom mode, so I challenge someone who prefers fullscreen to do this for just a few minutes, to see what they're really missing. Of course, nobody needs to get a life badly enough to waste time on doing that, so I doubt anyone would actually try.
Of course, what I will say is a tired and frequently mentioned point, but I haven't seen any fullscreen supporter effectively refute or use information against it, so here it is anyway. The point is that, by somewhere around 2005-2010 Widescreen television sets will probably be the only variety that any company will manufacture. So, when you go to view your Disks, there will be black bars, but they will be on the sides, and now, you're actually missing something! "Full"-screen? I think not.
I would say more, but I think it's safe to say that nobody cares, so...
