I've actually done that. She doesn't care.

We also had a huge wide screen tv and she really didn't like that. Because all of the regular tv shows had all the blank space on either side.

She's pretty open to change, but I think this is one thing she doesn't want to budge on.


As for the two options on one disc... mine have graphics on them but there's not much for extras. I like my extras so i'll choose those over having both options. (Although, widescreen isn't much fun on a little tv... but I don't have that problem now that i've replaced my 13 inch tv with a 20 inch)

widescreen is also a more natural field of view. normal vision from your eyes if you think aobut it is widescreen. in full screen people are actually looking up and down more then they need to, with wide it allows your eyes to stay more centered and still pick up everything easier.


and i know what you mean about widescreen on a little TV... luckily for me tho, my ipod has the option to watch in wide screen, or zoom in and take up the full ipod screen... very nice feature

I don't care either way.

And it really depends.

Movies I don't care one way or another.

Most TV broadcasts come in fullscreen so go with that as well.

I mean I can understand the difference, but its just a picture.. or maybe I'm just not a details person.
