Don't worry Greg, when I do get a TV capable of properly viewing 'widescreen' I'll get the widescreen Version. But I'm not going to run back and change the DVD's. My main interest is in the extra DVD with the behind the scenes stuff and that is the same on both Versions. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Widescreen, but I 'HATE' watching 'widescreen' on a normal TV. The black bars at the top and bottom make my 27" JVC look like a 13" screen. Maybe it's not as bad on a 32" but on my 27" it just sucks.

FYI, My friend has the Widescreen Version and he has a Sony KP46WT520 46" Digital Widescreen HDTV. Hooked up to a Surround sound Home theater sound system. So I can watch it in 'true' widescreen whenever I want.


Cheers!
Damn. I need friends like that. One of these days, whenever I hit the lottery , I want to get a system like that. But as it as, I'll settle for what I have. But I'll still continue to buy widescreen. You know, I used to hate those black bars, but now I don't even notice them. Sure, things look a little smaller, but I have the satisfaction of knowing I'm looking at the entire picture as it was shown on theater screens instead of a pan & scan picture.
