Yeah, it was the aspect ratio! I hate it when companies cater to lazy people who want an image to fill their whole screen by default. Just because widescreen TVs are the latest thing doesn't mean that a given work's proper aspect ratio is suddenly improper. Hell, if widescreen TV owners want an image to fill their whole screen they can use their stupid zoom feature.

Oh, and now I remember my brother telling me that they'd re-release the set at its proper aspect ratio if the fans purchased this set enough . . . it's like extortion. I personally wouldn't fall for that.
