I keep on trying to explain it to my mother, for example, but she never does get it. But I don't really care as long as when she buys me movies she gets them in Widescreen, which she has been very good about doing. Christmas was a success in that regard. I didn't even have to remind her to get Serenity in widescreen.
Yeah, as long as they are happy, and you are happy, then I guess it's fine. But to think that anyone would want to watch the Star Wars films in foolscreen?

Will the players that play Blu-Ray or HD-DVD (I guess the war is still on) be able to play your standard disc/duel layer?
Like someone said, I don't want to have re-buy all my DVDs. I'm sure I'm not the only one!
And about the widescreen, I know what you mean. My grandmother and cousin are fullscreen all the way. I explain it, and they're like, "I hate the black lines blah blah blah it's stupid blah blah blah!" Even though most HDTV is widescreen, and with their fullscreen versions, they'll have the black bars on the sides of picture.

Yeah, I'm assuming they will, so that John Q. Public will be more willing to buy them. But still, I don't think people will or should buy all new copies of ALL of their movies. Some would be fine on regular DVD. But some, like the Star Wars films, are a requirement on Blu-Ray.
